The is one of the two mazes. The other one was "all the same". BTW, I actually solved it. This game was also written up in the book "Soul of a New Machine" about the development of the DEC mini-computer. I think it was the PDP, but it might have been the VAX. Also, I used to have a PC version of the game. I probably still do, if anyone can read a 5-1/4 floppy (360 K).

CCA is just ever so slightly before my time -- or rather, I think I may have played it but was too young to appreciate it. I spent a lot of time with Scott Meier's Pirate Adventure though.

LOL<br /><br />let me tell you that in HS we had to go to the science lab off the library where one could sign up for time on the main frame then one had to call on a phone to "log in" and the printer looked like a ele. piano with pin feed paper. i had friends in music theory class ( we had section 1 and 2 ) who would actually do writing and arranging of music on that thing and then we'd take it back and attempt to play it in orchestra class! mean while the main office was still using punch cards for attendance ( the home room teacher would mark the absences by sending down to the office those punch cards). the punches made great but painful sharp edged confetti for the football games!<br />imagine the average small flash drive or even a mini sd card has more memory than my entire first used comadore!

I have never got into computer games, when I was younger and more active I played the real thing and now have other interests, but I do know there is a big gaming community out there, since one or two of my friends have started to come out about it.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12577631984995202146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383236105308499589.post-73469173701948602932013-08-01T12:39:23.797-04:002013-08-01T12:39:23.797-04:00Meg -

Since then, I've veered away from gaming on PCs, other than things like Tetris (remember that) and forms of Solitaire.<br /><br />Believe it or not (given my weight), I find physical activity such as squash and racquetball more interesting than your average computer game. If I drop the weight I want to drop, that will be what I do.<br /><br />MMarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346866501735405647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383236105308499589.post-69480662724884790382013-08-01T08:08:54.593-04:002013-08-01T08:08:54.593-04:00Meg.

Each move required an updated printout.<br /><br />RhondaRhonda Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09880722627262140271noreply@blogger.com
