Post by Ryan PPost by MiltYup, did about as much as the last owner. Ahhh well, to me CNet was dead
long before that, it just had a brief bit of life before going out
again. I actually brought my BBS back and ran it for a few months, but
then shut it down again as it seemed there was no progress and the BBS
was pretty much dead anyhow, had other uses for the computer.
Although it was fun getting back to Hack n Slash and Wheel of Fortune
again. There are a few other pfiles that are still pretty fun, too...
Head2Head Global War. Games that were still amazingly fun even without
nice graphics!
Imagine the sick looks we would get from kids these days if they saw us
playing Empire.
"What does ---+----+---+++--+-++--+++ mean? Why aren't there any sound
effects?"
HA! No kidding, they would be waiting for the flash animations and the
sounds. Yeah, Empire and Global War was fun and if AREXX wouldn't have
been such a hog, Monopoly would have been incredible but it was too much
of a CPU hog.
That's the thing, with the way the Internet is now... the BBSes seem so
archaic, then again, if we were spoiled like that back then, we would
look funny at it too. That's the thing, back then, that WAS "high tech".
I remember when having a 56k modem was looked at as "cutting edge" and
I remember when 28.8k was a luxury!
