Does child labour count as a video game?

Lotsa good memories with this one

I'm old.

The Sacred Armour of Antiriad, good platform/exploration game, before all that "metroidvania" nonsense. I'm glad all the plebs never discovered this one and instead focus all their attention on bickering on whether NES Castlevania 2 or Zelda 2 have bad translation or "artificial difficulty". :->

Another one by Palace Software

And another one

Speaking of which, this is another game left unmolested by the metroidvania plebs. They'll never find them, because these games were only ported to 8-bit computers, which the youtube celebrities don't understand, and so the plebs ignore completely. It's great, much more peaceful that way. Meanwhile they all complain about rising prices for NES carts on cuckchan /vr/. :->

Played this one on Apple II at school.

Can still beat it in about 15 minutes, and still play the vanilla game every now and then

A'ight. Time to get some of dem BASIC type-in games in this mofo!

Back in the day we got games in magazines or books and had to type in the codes before we could play.

A lot of computer had BASIC in ROM instead of a BIOS. At least it was useful for making games. BIOS is not very useful for games.

So you'd type in all these codes every time you wanted to play, unless you were lucky to have a tape drive. If your parents were rich, maybe you even had a floppy disk drive! But if you were a poorfag, you had to type in the game every time you wanted to play.

So you'd turn on your computer and it would boot into BASIC in like one second flat, because hell yeah it's in ROM. Fuck drives and operating systems and all that bloated, botnet shit.

And if you typed it correctly, then great, you could have some fun hunting strange monsters, or playing black jack and stuff like that.

But if you made any typs, then either your program crashed, or there was a bug.

Well if it crashed (sooner or later in the game) it was obvious you made a mistake, and then you'd have to go de-bug the program.

But if the mistake was more subtle, like say something that makes the monsters invincible, or makes it so you always end having worse odds at black jack, then it would take you longer to find out.

Either way, you had to find the bug or re-type the program from scratch another day. So this way you could become a computer programmer eventually, just by learning the language from typing and de-bugging these games.

Then you could make your own variation of the games, by just changing the code, or make entirely new games from your own ideas!

Whoa… wholesome hobby story on Holla Forums. This is rare. Gaming come a long way.

Fuck the lava level
