I have that game and a working commodore 64. Yes: I am a pack rat. My walk in closet could be a museum for war gaming. Iley

MrBlizzard -> RE: OT Archeology: the origins of witpae (5/23/2015 5:02:25 PM)
Wow, nice! I have to look for my C64 in my parents' cellar. I'm afraid they throw it away when moving to another home

I used to run one on XP, not sure if they work on Win 7 though......

JocMeister -> RE: OT Archeology: the origins of witpae (5/24/2015 4:31:39 PM)
C64 emulator? Blasphemy! I still have my old C64. I start it up every 5th year or so and play "The Detective" and "Theatre Europe". [:)]

MrBlizzard -> RE: OT Archeology: the origins of witpae (5/24/2015 7:59:37 PM)
Joc you're reallly great! [8D]

Big B -> RE: OT Archeology: the origins of witpae (5/24/2015 11:20:18 PM)
I had that one too, and played the heck out of it too. I didn't know it was done by Gary Grigsby, I guess I never payed much attention to the authors of computer games back then. My best friend, and oldest war-gaming nemesis, has my old C-64 (and his too) in working condition. quote: ORIGINAL: MrBlizzard Found this war in the south pacific by Gary Grigsby for commodore64 , 1987 [:)] war in the south west pacific

I had many hours of fun with this one back in the day.

wegman58 -> RE: OT Archeology: the origins of witpae (6/1/2015 4:45:11 PM)
I never did C-64. I did have the old Guadalcanal campaign game - probably for a DOS Box (Possibly an Apple ][ +

Hang on to that old tech!! Some lady dropped off a bunch of computer parts from her garage after her husband passed and turns out there was an Apple 1 computer in that box... it sold for $200,000 and now the store is trying to track her down to give her a cut. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2015/06/01/rare-vintage-apple-1-computer-auction/28299275/

Nice to see you dropping by Elf..Glad you are safe..(Hope to think you have retired or gone commercial by now......)

Elf doesn't like to toot his own trumpet, but some of the guys at Pensacola tell me that Lt. Commander Ian "ELF" Kibler is with the test and evaluation squadron VX-9, in bee-you-tee-ful downtown China Lake in the middle of the Mojave freakin desert. They think that's a pretty hot posting (pun intended) and some smart money thinks he's well on his way to a silver chicken.[8D]

I had a Commodore and a TI-99/4a and a TI programmable scientific calculator. I don't know what I did with them. [:(] I got an IBM PC (with the unbelievable memory of 64k [:D]) like the first month it was out. Don't have that anymore either. An Epson dot matrix printer too. It worked. It was reliable. It wasn't pretty though.

geofflambert -> RE: OT Archeology: the origins of witpae (6/4/2015 7:42:28 PM)
Does anyone know how to make "Fighting Steel" work on Windows 7 or 8? I miss it so. I have to look at porn instead. [:(]

geofflambert -> RE: OT Archeology: the origins of witpae (6/4/2015 8:29:37 PM)
Similar to lizards dropping there tails to escape, male gorns drop their (censored) if the female tries to hold on to them. That's ok, they grow back.

geofflambert -> RE: OT Archeology: the origins of witpae (6/7/2015 2:52:38 AM)
Thank you very much, I'm going to work on that.

Footslogger -> RE: OT Archeology: the origins of witpae (6/8/2015 1:07:10 AM)
Wow! I had a working Commodore 128 and working Commodore Monitor and a working 1571 drive. It can go into C64 mode easily and I gave it away not too long ago.[sm=innocent0009.gif] Nobody asked for it here so I gave it away. [:(] My favorite games were mostly strategy games and some arcade. I can remember Europe Ablaze, Panzer Battles, Decision in the Desert, Sid Myers Pirates and Elite. Just to name a few.[8D]

I'll give you a nickel. [:)]

[:(] I had a 128, a 128D and 2 1571's used for work with GEOS (and a whole lot of play [;)] ). A buddy gave me a large box of disks with well over a hundred games in it. Like an idiot, I sold it all (ridiculously cheap) when I got my first 486/25 machine. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.............. Summer Games, Winter Games, Leaderboard, Project Space Station, Zak McKraken, Red Storm Rising. Dumb.....
