Yeah, bl***y youngsters, don't know how lucky they are, mumble, mumble, cough, cough....

I say take their shiny new PCs away, and give them a Sinclair Spectrum, a cassette recorder, a blank tape, and a 1980s vintage computer gaming magazine. You want to play games? You've got to type it in first. Only 5 pages of badly-printed random characters to type in (and then the game turns out to be crap anyway ).

Can you imagine the whiners here turning up at a real RAF fighter squadron?

Plus the stack of a dozen 3.5" disks next to you.
Of course you have to change disks at least every 30min of gameplay - and while they are loading the next level, you can take a leak, brew a cup of coffee, order pizza and write your X-mas cards.

Good old times.

3.5"? Bloody youngsters...

In my day they were 5.25"



I'm certainly not that old, but my first computer experience was indeed typing 3-4 pages of basic into a ZX81 - with no tape - with one of those dodgy 16Kb RAM packs that if you wiggled it, it crashed. In the end the "game" was two solid blocks. One moved horizontally. The player moved the other one vertically to intercept the other one. Oh my days.

I must've been, what, 5 years old? Maybe 6?

yeah, remove the cockpit, remove the airframe, remove the lighting, turn all the detail down...

the game is improving a lot, but this post is just nonsense.
