MUDs? Look at this whipper snapper who's too good for good old tele-arena. 9600 baud for life.
I remember spending so much time in the college computer lab to just browse the internet. It was so much better than home. At home we didn’t have an ISP so all I could do was dial into the school system. It was a very rudimentary system. You could use it to get to usenets.
You must be older than Al Gore.
I'm sure you could have browsed the then web with Lynx, but the trick was knowing the urls of worthwhile sites and those that would render OK in just text. Netscape (of Navigator game) really managed to go from the most important company to literally nothing in such a relatively short amount of time.
Lol! Thats pretty cool. I was thinking of soft modding my Wii U and Switch. That way I can box up and retire my modded Wii. Apparently my launch switch can still be hacked and I don't play switch online anyway so it would be good to just run homebrew.
Shufflepuck cafe was a fun game!
Macs?! We had an Apple II and Apple IIe lab behind the typing class room (no computers in each class). That was one of the perks to take typing was getting to go back and play some Oregon Trail, Carmen Sandiego, Conan, or something when classwork was done. What a great way to encourage me to type fast and accurate! It is one of the few classes that taught a truly practical skill (and it was a skill I wanted, especially with the text based interfaces on many games). I tried to encourage my kids to take it... none of them did.
I remember the Apple IIe being the "special" computer in homeroom. The only one that took the smaller floppy disks. I also remember my homeroom class giving me my first ever standing ovation when I finally caught Carmen Sandiego. I always made the Oregon Trail joke that "if you died of dysentery, Terry must be one oversensitive SOB."
Wait, didn't Apple IIe have the medium floppies (the 5.25" ones). There's supposedly like an 8" or something one that I've actually never used.
Mine's still around and I check up on it like every 5 years or so. But I recognize like none of the names.
I've only ever seen the ones with 5.25" floppy drives.. typically dual drives. Nicely the public library ones all had dual drives and I'd copy my favorite games. I still have a few of those disks.
The Coveted Mirror, Transylvania, The Crimson Crown (Transylvania II), & Mystery House are the main ones I remember.
Returning courses Athens Dash (Mario Kart Tour), Daisy Cruiser (Mario Kart Double Dash), and Moonview Highway (Mario Kart Wii) are included in Wave 5’s Feather Cup championship, as is the entirely new bathroom inspired-track Squeaky Clean Sprint.
Missing tables and people are already complaining about the graphics. I've been playing FX on Xbox and it still feels pretty much the same as FX3. There's been a couple of sales already, like the Williams Collection 1 for 50% off. Pick up the free tables, but definitely wait till they work out the bugs and put things on sale before buying.
I get not wanting to give people free tables until the end of time, but a notable discount for tables you owned on the previous game would help a lot. At least they kind of do that on Steam with the weird bundle stuff they do to make them half off, but that can also be limited to bundles versus individual tables.
I do get that as well, some of the more notable tables were pricey so having some kind of discount or bundle like you mentioned would lessen the sting to those of us that played for so long. Not trying to completely crap on them as it's been a fun game in the past for me to play on Xbox, I want them to succeed wholeheartedly
Grabbed all four and the trick with gift cards is the amount of the gift card needs to be less than the amount after red card discount and before tax. Used MS points and grabbed two $25 Target gifts cards for Odyssey and 3D World and MS points for two $10 Target gift cards for New Super Mario Bros and Mario Party. Final for all four titles was $31.
Best Buy for the Tote bag for me. Helped that I did Total Tech when we ordered all new kitchen appliances which has now become Best Buy Total so I get the buy 2 get 1 free on Switch titles and pre ordered Pikmin 4, Mario RPG, and Mario Wonder and had some rewards to use.
How does the B2G1 charge? Is it a prorated price once each item ships?
Charge as each item ships. For my order (had a $100 reward certificate)
Digging the summer theme of this new pack!
