Makes me wonder how those games would run written in assembly.              As fast as they were running in Interpreted BASIC...I would expect they would       be way too fast to play. Look fantastic...but ASM would probably make them       unplayable.               Da> It would be a fun platform to learn basic and write some tight modern        Da> software.              I agree. Just had a thought that if someone got one of these...got some of       the old BBS's written in BASIC & set it up for this box. For that       matter...you could get Ahl's books online as PDF's. Setup stuff like this on       the system.              ACME BBS-Member of fsxNet/WWIVNet/SciNet/AmigaNet/VKRadio/FidoNet/MicroNet.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
