    This reminds of an MIT friend’s homemade computer.Booting required some numbers entered to command it to read the drive.

    Reminds me of “Pyramid”, which a high school friend loaded each time we played from a cassette tape (ca 1878).

    I had an old Commodore VIC-20 and figured out somehow how to get a look at the code on the game cassettes, which I thought was a pretty cool thing to do be able to do. Other than playing games, it couldn’t do a whole lot.

    I love Zork, especially when my sister dies trying to kill the troll.

    I ran “adventure” on a number of mainframes. I still have a map of The Cave somewhere.

    But mostly I loved the adventure-style game “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” which included a sequence something like this:

    GO NORTH you can’t go that wayGO NORTH you can’t go that wayGO NORTH I said, you can’t go that wayGO NORTH OK, I lied. You can go that way.

    I still remember the secret code – “xyzzy” – that would get you through one of the locked doors. I had a roommate who went to MIT and we used to boot into the mainframe from home using an acoustic device that fit a land line phone handset. This was around 1975-76. One game was called Adventure, another was Dungeon. Oh, and pschearer, we drew a map as well. Haven’t thought about that in years.

    Thanks for the link. I’m sure it will be an adventure.

    YES! This is a TRS-DOS Model III. I owned one (64 MB hard drive). Conversed with a guy at work about his Model III (128 MB). A year later we were married. Not a joke.
