JimmyG: I don't remember. I found the walkthrough on the web somewhere. Guy B.: Do you have Zork? JimmyG: I think so. I purchased the infocom sci-fi cd a few years ago, and I think Zork was included on it. Mr. Jive: yikes! Mr. Jive: undefined got booted. Guy B.: I know they were very tough and I never bought them. It's bad enough I can't even solve 2010 JimmyG: Ahh.. The bonus title is Beyond Zork JimmyG: LIttle known fact about 2010.. when you purchase it and first load it up, there is a saved game right at the end. Load it, flip a switch, and you win. Guy B.: That's why I never saved a game on it.:) JimmyG: :) JimmyG: I remember showing off ADAM's Zaxxon (not the cv cart) at a computer party once.. Guy B.: There were two text adventures for the Adam I did solve. Michigana Jones and Traveler. JimmyG: Blew the C-64-ers away. JimmyG: I was never much for text adventures.. Guy B.: That was by far the best game Coleco came out with in the supergame series. JimmyG: Only reason I bought it is because I was a huge Douglas Adams fan. JimmyG: I wish they would have come out with all the games that they advertised on the box.. Mr. Jive: What other supergames where there? Guy B.: Now you can download the actual arcade rom and use it with MAME. JimmyG: DK, DKJr, Family Feud, 2010, Unreleased Jeopardy and Sub Roc, Choplifter/AE, HardHatMAck/Pinbal const. set (unreleased)

BobSlopsema: got frozen out and couldn't do anything, had to rebott the machine and all Mr. Jive: Huh I don't think I have that one. Guy B.: Oh yeah, I have that one and it was addicting. Super Cobra was another one. JimmyG: Tapper and Congo Bong were very good too. Mr. Jive: Wow....I've seen MR on ebay....I'll bid on it. Guy B.: Congo Bongo was decent. But, the graphics could have been better. JimmyG: Fun FUn Fun game MR is.. Mr. Jive: ok cool JimmyG: The only prob I had with CB were the sprites.. Guy B.: Bob, I'm constructing a homepage for the Adam Emulator utilities. Hope to have it ready next month. JimmyG: BTW, It was amazin what coleco accomp[lished, what with the graphics bug it had and all
james left chat session Mr. Jive: Yes the design could have been better. Mr. Jive: You would think as late in the game as they entered the computer market, that they would have designed it a little better. BobSlopsema: cool Guy, on corecomm???? Guy B.: That's true, wished Coleco could have followed through on releasing more software as advertised. Guy B.: Yes, it will be on Corecomm. JimmyG: I remeber writing a little graphics program and was pulling my hair out why it didn't work properly.. Then I found out about the 8 pixel bug BobSlopsema: you guys see the email about steam roller?????? BobSlopsema: just finsished game? Guy B.: I'm using Netscape composer. Part of was started with Word 97. BobSlopsema: James, you bought it didn't you? JimmyG: No.. haven't seen it.. Mr. Jive: I remember the day Coleco dropped their computer program.... JimmyG: James got booted Mr. Jive: Steam roller? JimmyG: What's this about corecomm? Mr. Jive: Jimmy I think that was a Quickbasic bug.... Guy B.: Jim, that's my ISP and Bob's. JimmyG: I don't know. I could've sworn I've seen it pop up in coleco products JimmyG: ut then again, I don't remember waking up this AM JimmyG: ut=But BobSlopsema: i've recently made a new game acquisition and thought i'd share what i've Mr. Jive: Hmmm could be....I remember running into it programming in SmartBasic....hated it.

Mr. Jive: lol JimmyG: Must remember to keep muultiple IE windows open. Mr. Jive: Yea the Amiga guys are hardcore dedicated to their machines. BobSlopsema: he was just checkin out the Itari site..... Guy B.: Dale, I'm constructing a homepage for the Adam Emulator utilities. Have the main page done. I'm including a page for documentation download and my famous Qbasic/batch files. Dale: Some day, I'll make a prettier intro page, that keeps people from getting double windows, etc. Dale: It is on my todo list fr AdamCon.org, but I haven't gotten to it yet. Dale: Guy, sounds great! Dale: I can't wait to see it. JimmyG: Tell me about teh dedication of Amiga-ites.. I have a friend in NJ who refuses to use a PC to this dday. He even has a hack of ICQ for his Amiga Guy B.: Thanks, I started part of it with Word 97 and using the Netscape Composer for the rest. JimmyG: I had an ST. JimmyG: Despite that we were best friends.. UNthinkable.. :) JimmyG: Kinda like a Cubs fan and a White Sox fan getting along. :) Mr. Jive: lol Jimmy no kidding! Guy B.: Jim, sooner or later. He'll have to give in. JimmyG: Who knows. UP until 5 years ago, the Amiga was still being use on the Cable system in my town. Mr. Jive: Don't count on it...You don't know those Amiga guys. Guy B.: Rich Clee owns one. JimmyG: I dialed into the community channel and an Amiga desktop was staring at me.. Mr. Jive: They'll figure out how to string them together for more processor power. Dale: There is always talk of the "next generation" Amiga. Dale: Amiga JimmyG: Does Gateway still own the rights to it? Dale: Amiga International has been bought and sold more times than I can keep track of. Dale: It was owned by Gateway, then spun off, then bought by a new group, ... Dale: then they sold it to the employees basically. JimmyG: I wonder if anything else will ever become of it.. Oh well.. Dale: Gateway retained the rights to the patents, but the company is still moving ahead. Dale: They have partnered with some of the third party vendors that still make new Amiga addons. JimmyG: I just am browsing the page to order steamroller at.. They have the Pac-Man Fever album on CD.. Dale: The third parties will be making the new systems under license. JimmyG: I may ahve to break out the old Credit CArd. Dale: Sort of the way VHS was owned by one company and licensed to many. BobSlopsema: don't get stung on the price though Jim! JimmyG: The CD is cheaper elsewhere? JimmyG: I've kinda turned this into Gaming night I see.. Dale: We talk about a wide variety of topics. Dale: On the weekend, I went to a local computer show... JimmyG: Did anybody find my old NIAD gaming articles? JimmyG: Yes Dale? Dale: and with the admission, they gave out a free game. "Y2K the Game". JimmyG: Oh dear... Guy B.: Now that has to do with the Y2K bug right? Mr. Jive: did it crash your system? Dale: It is okay, a little wierd interface. It is a puzzle game along the lines of Adam Bomb 2. BobSlopsema: don't know, jsut that James DeCarlo got bit Dale: It is a story where you "win the lottery, buy a mansion, then get trapped in the smart house." Dale: So you have to fix the broken robots, and control systems. Dale: So it is pretty satisfying, that I can go around and fix all of the systems using clues found in the house. Dale: I wish it was always that easy. JimmyG: Sounds interesting. Dale: I also helped my buddy buy a computer systems of his own. Dale: They had everything from P120 systems for $50 to more powerful systems for $2500. Dale: They even had 2 486/33SX CPUs for a $1. JimmyG: After working some computer shows in Chicago (working for the show organizer that is), I decided to never buy another computer. I'm gonna build 'em myself. IN fact that's what I'm typing on now. Dale: A great place to buy IDE 80meg hard drives for your Adam. Guy B.: Computer shows is the best source for really good deals. That's where I got this current system from and going to do the same thing for my new one next year. Mr. Jive: The nice thing about building your own is you get what you want. Dale: Well, I built my computer from parts, but it is very time consuming, and usually costs more. IF you know what you want, ... Guy B.: Exactly. Just won Windows 95 with USB on Yahoo Auctions Sunday. Dale: that's fine, but if you are a beginning user, then you don't know what parts are important to you. Guy B.: I got mine with the case and motherboard. Later I got the CPU and transfered everything from the 486 to the new one. Now I've upgraded to new hardware over the last two years. But, memory for this system got too high. JimmyG: I scavenged what I could from my Packard Beel-zebub Mr. Jive: true Dale.....definitely for experienced computer users. Dale: Well, I replaced parts in my old computer until I was able to rebuild the old one from parts. :-) Guy B.: I still have the 486 and added two genuine 360K floppy drives and a cheap hard drive and now it's entirely a DOS computer. Dale: I just joined eBay this week. Dale: Any tips? JimmyG: The only tip for E-Bay I can give is watch out. Mr. Jive: Dale: Don't use your email address as your user name. Dale: Bob, Jill wants to know how Doug and Meeka are? JimmyG: I've never traded on it, but I've heard too many horror stories. Guy B.: And be careful. Especially with the fees they charge. Yahoo is entirely free. Dale: Well, before ebay, there was rec.games.cards.magics.forsale Mr. Jive: I do a lot of trading on ebay....only buy from people who have good profiles. Dale: And that didn't have any sort of formal feedback system. Guy B.: I've had great success on Yahoo Auctions. Sold three items this year. BobSlopsema: Doug & Meeka are good, going to a computer gamiers conventinothis weekend in Ohio JimmyG: If anyone knows of a classic gamins convention in Chicago, let e know.. Guy B.: We have to keep on the lookout Jim. JimmyG: You from Chi-town guy? Dale: The fees diddn't seem too bad on eBay. Guy B.: North Riverside.

JimmyG: Can you do word 97? BobSlopsema: nope, just my ADAM! ;-) JimmyG: Actually, Scan and attach would be fine.. I can run them through an OCR and pray that it reads it properly. JimmyG: :) BobSlopsema: can scan and then change the pic format w/ graphics workshop BobSlopsema: copies are not THAT good JimmyG: Sounds good to me.. :) Mr. Jive: How much did Adam CP/M plus assembler origionally sell for? BobSlopsema: Dale, scan starts as .BMP.............what compression would be best to attach to email and then for Jim to unsqeeze them???? BobSlopsema: a LOT!!!! BobSlopsema: saw somwe pricing whilst looking threu old NIAD's Guy B.: It sold for around $25 at the time. I think you can still get it, but who uses it now that we have TDOS. JimmyG: However you want to scan, zip or whatever is fine. Mr. Jive: I bid a copy up to $30 on ebay and got outbid....wondering how much it's worth. BobSlopsema: yes!!! TDOS literally "BLOWS" cp/m away! JimmyG: I have to say, that graphic Chess game on CP/M was pretty good.. If extremely difficult. BobSlopsema: the numbers are not what they are Basic, Logo etc........ Guy B.: Best thing that came out for the Adam. Dale: Food's here! Guy B.: Sargon Chess wasn't it? BobSlopsema: whatever CP/M will do; TDOS will do better!!!!! JimmyG: I think so, Guy BobSlopsema: AND it is FREE
