Who remembers ‘Hyper Load’, the faster loading feature introduced on some later Spectrum games?
Most everything mentioned here is before my time, but I do remember:
– Dying of dysentery in Oregon Trail on Apple II
– Installing Doom on 3.5″ floppy and being terrified playing in the dark
– Flight simulators with 300-page manuals
– Text-based RPG’s where you type commands like “Open the door” into a terminal
– My entire city catching fire in the first SimCity
