Anybody enjoy JetSet Willy on the Commodore 64? Or Attic Attac?

Sabre Wulf was my favourite. Smile

You guys!
I want to know how I can get my 6 and 9 year old to stop twatting each other. They sometimes go on the Internet if you want it to be an internetty question.

where the fresh hell did this one come from? It's very keen.

How did he find us?

MrsMinton · 12/02/2015 22:33

I still have my Tandy, spectrum, Atari and commodore 64.

I use scratch now with pupils and have envy at the ease they can create things.

Kleptronic · 12/02/2015 22:39

I was furtling about in telnet the other week, proving I could send an email from my server to the smtp server. Which I had to do because comms are a bunch of twats but I won't bore you with that.

NormHonal · 12/02/2015 22:39

TheFirstOfHerName ooh! thank you! will go and check it out. Facebook you say . How very modern, whatever will they think of next?

Just get to fuck. Seriously, OP.

I remember Jet set willy!

I also remember having to sit by a cassette player making eeeeoooooooweeee skreetchy noise for 20mins waiting for a game to load. We kids of the 70's knew patience.

Thanks for the lulz but I have to go. Middle aged housewife curfew is approaching.

EmpressOfJurisfiction · 12/02/2015 22:42

When I was at uni in the early 90s, going along to the computer centre and logging into telnet to check my email was MASSIVELY exciting.
