Assissin's Creed Odyssey Set in Ancient Greece!

A highlight of my younger days was writing games for the TI994a computer with my daughter. I wish I had saved the codes for Mouskins, a TI Basic adventure text game where success was measured by the number of baby mice you could keep alive and Turtle a TI Forth shameless ripoff of Frogger with a slow turtle crawling across a four line highway. Losers saw messages like 'Pavement Pudding'. We preferred things that were not shoot-em-ups. Today most games still seem to be shooting based. My daughter and grandson just returned from the OverWatch League finals in Brooklyn. Games have come a long way since Hunt the Wumpus (my favorite).

In those days, we considered computers toys that would never come to be of any real importance.

I am so old that my first personal computers were gas operated.

 

Lol, I am still scarred by the Amstrad cpc464 with a green screen monitor.
My fun days were spent playing on a Vectrex game system, wish I still had it

 

The Commodore Pet was the first platform for which I wrote a game. Now I AM showing my age.

 

My first computer was the VIC20. How's that for age?

 

I had a VIC 20 too which was my next step on from the Commodore Pet. I remember saving up for the 16K RAM expansion pack.

 

Sometime do the math: How much did you pay for your first computer divided by its RAM versus your last computer divided by its RAM. Scary.

 

Me in my computer science class

I love Astroids!

 

The younger folks here won't understand why this short video clip is so funny

 

kids today don't know the pain this little device caused....

 

Peloponnesian Wars ?

 

I remember thinking about powerful the computer was, and all the things it could be used for while sitting in programming class. I first worked on a paper ribbon driven Univac with punch cards, collators, and key punches for the punch cards. Came very close to buying an IBM Mod 360 from the state with all the tape drives and such. Was going to set up in my basement and partition, then rent to outside sources. This was the mid 70's. Now I just read CoinTalk on my couch.

 

I am playing Witcher 3 right now, and it is absolutely amazing.
