young pups...
I'm sorry but I had a neighbour when I was a kid that used to have it. They were very religious and didn't believe in technology but they had the 300 baud in case of emergencies. I almost died laughing cause it took absolutely forever to get anywhere.
... the other game I remember was something of a randomized black jack.. only you couldnt tell it to "hit" or "stay"... the computer just randomly assigned you numbers until you got between 16 and 21.. and whoever got closest to 21 without going over won lol...
Are you sure. You should start breeding and carrying for pigeons. Then you save on postage and send cigars that way. Bahahahahasadly.. I very much remember rotary phones (and transitioning to push button "princess" phones).. as well as party lines lol...
carrier pigeons were pretty much a thing of the past by the time I came into the world though
This is my first game... it came on two floppies.lol.. my use of the 300 baud pre-dates the internet..
there were message boards that you could dial direct into.... and the father of a friend of mine had a couple of old ASCII "video games" (if you could call them that) uploaded on their main frame that he would let us dial into and play... one was a "horse racing" game.. where you picked a number 1-10.. and then 10 numbers lined up on the left side of the computer screen and randomly took off for the right side.. the number that made it to the other side first.. won!
computer technology in 1982... lol....
I loved panic!
