Remember when they were all that had pron?

And sod all in the way of checking how old you were too. I remember carding memberships to big commercial bbs's, leeching porn like a mad thing then selling it at a horrendous price to less computer literate people at school.

Ahh the good old days lol

Is that anything like the old "Adventure" that used to run on mainframes? I spent hours playing this at IBM after hours. Never finished it either.

Don't you mean 'all alike'?

No,there were two seperate sections in the game - one had the "all alikes" and the other had "all different".

Well, you can download the original source (provided you know your way around a Fortran compiler), or if you're using Micro-Soft you can get a binary.

Check out Zork too, I tried Adventure, but it didn't appeal so much. I like games like NetHack and Zork, with a bit of that hackerish sense of humour. You can get Zork and its sequels from a myriad sources.
