I wish I could find a copy for you. For a while there was one at http://plugh.xyzzy.net/xyzzy.html but that's going. Even the domain is gone.


jesu christo. That is the most hated phrases of my childhood :)

And yeah, there used to be a place you could play it online, but I can't find it anymore.

EDIT: Mod 11, you aremy friend. As are you Frenchpet.
Now why couldn't _I_ find that when I searched?

I remember that! 1978, back when I started college. It was the first computer game I ever played and I was terrible at it! There was a Star Trek game too, but my brain cells are too dusty to remember much about it.

The phasers aimed automatically but you had to guess at the opponent's shield strength in order to set the power (which was depleted with each shot). Photon torpedos would destroy any ship but they had to be aimed.

Short range sensors showed your quadrant. Long range sensors showed the adjacent quadrants.

Ah, I remember it well... now if I could only remember where I left the handcuff keys

It's a physics term. It's the length of time that a radioactive element takes to lose half of its radioactive output.

Really? An element just keeps on halving, ad infinitum?

Simple explanation: Until there are just two radioactive molecules in the sample. Then one decays and a half life later the other decays and it's over.

Actually, when the number of molecules of the radioactive isotope get really low, the neutron flux is such that a normal cure no longer applies.

It had rudimentary graphics, but very rudimentary

If that's the game, the Klingons would sometimes pipe in with obnoxiously defiant challenges....kind of a precursor to the trash talking that is a big part of today's online games.

Yes, they may have ported it over. I played on the University's mainframe - an IBM 370 if I remember correctly. I remember being so absorbed that I didn't hear the warning bell for the library's 1 am closing.

You are actually hurting my lil brain; i prefer to argue (whichever position You like) but science, etc., makes my head hurt. Look for my lawsuit in Your Monday mail, LOL.

I played the Apple II version of that (Apple-Trek) in the early 80's. You can play it, and a whole bunch of other Apple games, with the Virtual Apple Online Disk Archive.

It would have been even better if it wasn't cribbed from the John Carpenter movie 'They Live.' What a spectacular piece of shlock that was. It was pretty amusing watching Roddy Piper try to act.

pinkpleasures


Reminds me of when I was taking courses at Ohio State law school and the professor brought in this personal injury specialist who bragged that he could win cases against big business because he could make his clients (who mainly brought on their own problems by stupidity) look like innocent victims.

I asked him how he felt taking food out of the mouths of widows and orphans. He was dumbstruck. Then I pointed out that much of the stock in those big companies are owned by pension funds and by winning money for the idiots he was lowering the amount of money that the poor people living on pensions got. He actually got red faced and the reaction of the professor made me glad that Master's students didn't get grades from the law school courses.

Those courses where enlightening in ways that the school never expected

Status: offline 		There are so many sleazy ways to make money as a lawyer; ever hear of a strike suit? You wait for a hiccup in a stock's value; find a plaintiff (who may only hold 1 share) and then sue the mangement and board for f**king up the business and causing the hiccup. After deposing the CEO, etc., for days, you are paid off to go away.

No s**t...i had a friend doing this.

I'm not a fan of "made from games" movies, but having met "The Rock" (in a vanilla environment, sorry to get your hopes up gals) I'll go to see just about anything he's in. Guy has a great sense of self deprecating humor.

[thinking: Rock + BFG = awesome]
