You didn't save your C64? I think we still have a C64 and/or a C128 lying around here somewhere. We play Galactic Conquest on it occasionally.

Ahhh, those were the days...

I still have my TI-99/4A! I was always jealous of my friends C64 - it had better games, more magazine coverage, and seemed more "mainstream".

Someone needs to re-make Mail Order Monsters...

And Bruce Lee was pretty sweet too.

I had a TI-99 too. Played Tunnels of Doom a lot, I think the name was. And Hunt the Wampus. Those are the only two I remember.

Bard's Tale II rocked! I remeber going around town destroying everyone with my horn of fire! There was absolutely no better way to pass the time. I remeber sitting down for a few minutes to play before I went to bed and looking over a "few minutes later" to see the sun rising outside my window. :)

Tim, I agree, Bruce Lee was an awesome game as well.

I used to really enjoy computers when I had my Commodore 64. You turn on the switch and you are ready to go. The games were simple enough to learn to play quickly so that you didn't have to waste your valuable time. Programming in BASIC and then compiling into P Code was just fine.

Now computers are so bloated with extra code that they need special hardware and high speeds to operate in real-time.

I called home the other day to see if my Mom still had my old TRS-80 around. Unfortunately, and to my horror, she had dropped it off at the goodwill...

A while ago I found the place where C64's go to retire...they are all keeping score at the local bowling lane!

Is Galactic Conquest still available anyplace, or has it disappeared like many things Commodore?
