  I agree with this. It's like if you watch "Hackers". It's kind of a meme movie sure but the hardware looked really cool. Computers had personality. Now they all have the same personality lol.

This is the result of about a year of toying around with the idea of putting together something along the lines of bootdsc’s Virtuscope. In the process I learned about 3D Design, 3D

  @p @hakui @MK2boogaloo @MisterRogersSnapped @TheMadPirate @ins0mniak I remember being a kid and having a computer that you had to load the programs with a cassette tape, and you could only one load one at a time. We had a game called The Hobbit that was a prototype of minesweeper. You would type in XY coordinates for a place on a grid, hoping for a palantir, but if you picked the wrong one, you'd get a message that said "Oh no, Bilbo fell into a BKACK HOLE!" and it went into a loop and printed 0s and 1s on the screen until you shut the computer down.
  
  Later, I programmed my own game called "The Great American Faggot Hunt" where a group of faggots were hunting you while you tried to get across the street and get past them to the YMCA to play basketball. You had a few weapons, one was bottles of English Leather cologne that you could drop like bombs and all the faggots would freeze for 10 seconds, but you could still move. The other was your basketball, which would kill a faggot if you hit him, but you couldn't use it again until you retrieved it from where it fell, and sometimes it was just easier to head for the door of the YMCA instead of trying to get it back. If a faggot touched you, you died. I remember struggling over how many faggots there should be and how to randomize their trajectory so the gane was neither too easy or too hard. One of my friends helped me with this because I couldn't figure it out. I gave copies to my friends and then i got in trouble when one of them got playing it by their mom.sge was horrified lol

  @p @MK2boogaloo @MisterRogersSnapped @TheMadPirate @hakui @ins0mniak I remember it didn't have any graphics, the game play was just made out of letters. The faggots were X's, you were an O, the English Learher was a capital E that converted to countdown numbers when you dropped it, the basketball was a capital B, and the YMCA was just a dotted line with a gap in the middle. The only way that kid's mom could have found out is if she walked in right when it loaded, because I'd made a big flash screen that said THE GREAT AMERICAN FAGGOT HUNT!!! while it loaded. Bad luck, man.
