    Adventure games

    Sadly this is a genre that seems to be dead and buried these days, but there are so many classics that are still enjoyable to play. I had a quick look, but couldn't find any threads with links to playable online adventure games, so I thought I'd start one, for those of us who would like to...

    Suggestions for Linux distro please?

    I'm considering trying out a Linux distro on my machine, and was after some suggestions from Linux people as to which distro to go for. Important things are that it must be easy to use and keep up to date, it must support my hardware, and it would be an added bonus if I didn't have to switch...

    The Hard Drive Turns 50

    Article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20060913/tc_pcworld/127104 Wow, "The RAMAC 305's cost per megabyte was approximately $10,000--that's about $70,000 in today's value." And that's per megabyte, the thing had a whopping 5 megabytes of storage, so times that by 5... OUCH! :nervous: EDIT...

    Vintage computer speeds

    Ok, I remembered recently reading a long time ago that someone claimed that a 68000 and a 80386DX - at the same clock speed (say 16MHz) performed identically. That got me thinking, has anyone got any speed comparisons between different CPUs? Say 6502 Vs Z80, AMD 386DX Vs Intel 80386 Vs 68000...

    Interesting little online puzzle game.

    http://fizzlebot.com/gdc1/cgdc1.php?puzzleID=16 How far can you get? I'm currently stuck in the room with 6 light bulbs above the room, with only one exit door and 6 parts of the floor that change colour as you move onto them. You'll know the bit if you get to it. See if you can get that...

    What is your favourite "vintage" computer game?

    For me, it would have to be Star Raiders - a full 3D space combat game on a 8K ROM, produced back in 1979 for the Atari 400 and 800 Home Computers. I still love that game, and still play it from time to time. So, how about everyone else?

    Hi from Melbourne

    Hi everyone! While my "collection" isn't as big as it once was (now only consisting of the PC I'm writing this on, which is nothing special, being a fairly recent AMD Athlon XP based rig), I still have my Amiga 4000/040, which is waiting for me to aquire a few replacement parts for and then use...
