- gertlexI've been gradually reading the Digital Antiquarian's series of posts [0] about history of computer games. Many of these feature links to try out these games (I haven't yet gotten to games that were released after I was born)... with user setup required (take this disk image, run it in a Apple II emulator, etc). The history so far has heavily featured text based simple parser adventure games.This might be the way in which I finally try one of these games out. Though, I'm betting my attention won't last long.[0] https://www.filfre.net/the-digital-antiquarian-e-book-librar...

- jdw64I want to write technically interesting posts like this too, but I don't know how.My writing is mostly just tracking various internet posts to trace history. How do you create interesting posts based on personal experience like this?
- ironqcoldWow. That was interesting.
