How can anyone who is not a DEC-freak fail to
remember "Leasure-Suit Larry". For obvious self-
derogatory reasons this was one of my favorite
games. I have V 1 for MSDOS and 1-3 for Atari ST.
I don't especially like adventure games but it was
indeed "special" if only for it's sense of self-depreciating
humor. That's something that seems to be lost for this
generation of hackers(?) who seem to think substituting
"z" for "s" is some sort of statement.
I have a progam somewhere for 8 bit Ataris that strung
together a bunch of stills of a woman performing felatio,
which I found more humorous than erotic. Also some 8-
bit Demos by Michel Jarre and another even bigger
German demo programmer whose name escapes me .
Some of their sound-light programs are even now
astounding. This was on-the-edge shit and for the most
part seems to be dying (what do you do when not coding
boring stuff) in favor of repeating some hi-paying sort of
state propaganda shit based on GI-Joe.
"Up the Empire". Blecch !
Oh well us old farts are gonna die soon and the Bill
Gate's will be free to have their way. Memories are short.
