Boy, does that bring back memories... A friend of mine *way back when* had
a Commie 64 w/2 floppies (back when they were lotsa $$$) and we played a
game called "Telengard"... I believe that's the correct spelling. Pretty
neat game, was in basic. I remember the original programmer never bothered
to program in a save game function, so my buddy and I did one day... [[Boy,
those were the days... If you don't like it, Fix it! ;-) Something Gates
needs to learn... ;-)]]
ISTR that the tape the game originally came on had versions for a few
Commies, the Atari 800, and Believe it or not, the CoCo! all on the same
tape. Anyone have that game floating around... now that I have a 64 & 128?
Thanks,
