ok... so it's like I'm going backwards in time... a few weeks ago, I spent much of my time playing guitar hero on the ps2. then I found the ps1 emulator and started playing ffvii... now, today, I found battletech - which you would play on in DOS on a 386 PC... dude. my phone has more processing power than those old computers.
in any case, I could never finish the game, because I didn't have the manual and I couldn't do the puzzle at the end without it. so I gave it up, oh so many years ago.
somehow I randomly came across the game... but given my current affinity for finding old games, I decided to give this one a shot. dropped the name in google and a few scant minutes later, the program is sitting on my desktop...
at work.
I booted the game up, and it occupied my whole screen. it's a good thing no one was looking, because I probably could have gotten fired. I killed it and e-mailed the game to myself, for future use.
it is very much a rpg, but very lo-tech compared to what we have now... but considering that it's from the late 80's, that's kind of an obvious statement. I'm going to give myself a couple of days to beat it. in ffvii I just picked up vincent in my party (so I dropped barret from the three and went with cloud, tifa, and vincent - he just seems cooler than barret) but I'll probably give that a rest until I beat battletech...
I am a scatter-brained attention deficit geek. I get bored way to easily... it's like tetris or bust-a-move, I end up making a mess out of things just so I have something to do :-P
well, not really, but I'll just pretend for today.
every wednesday sushi for lunch! I read somewhere that korean run sushi places are now outnumbering chinese restaurants... I wouldn't know... I only go to three or four chinese restaurants at home - three for the dim sum and one because I like their bread and egg rolls (along with all the other food too, of course). :-)
