Rather than talk about Scott Adams (Bad) I'd like to talk about Scott Adams (Good). The Count is the only text adventure game I've ever played (we briefly had a VIC-20). I enjoyed it, but wasn't very good at it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cou...

If the Eagles defense played the Eagles offense, who would score more points? No special teams, just straight offense vs defense, every drive starts from the 20, Vic Fangio vs Kevin Patullo?

Phew😅
I used to talk to the Adventure dude on The Bad Place. Apparently he always worried the Vic=20 versions of his 1st games were too thin to convey a sense of adventure. Which *astonished me*. He was quite happy to hear they were like portals to new worlds for small me.
VERY surreal conversation☺️

the only Scott Adams I know is the one who did all the text-based adventure games on old school platforms like the Commodore VIC-20 and Texas Instruments TI99-4a tape recorder.

Bristol friends I'm sharing an extract of a play I'm working on called The Shredder on 20 Jan at Bristol Old Vic. It was inspired by my time working as a shredder in my 20s. Please come along, I'd love feedback & ideally for someone to want to develop it!

It's unpatriotic to say but while I loved the spectrum it was not a great computer just built for a great price. I think of it more as a "peoples" computer, other better computers were all out of reach for many. We had the Vic 20 then Speccy 128 until my brother bought an ST :)

Naftu brala žena nedávno, ale je teda fakt, že do něj nedávala aditivum. Druhé auto nám jelo (tam jsem bral já a dával zimní aditivum). Každopádně tady v Ledči fakt byla kosa. Víc než 20 pod nulou.

holy shit i'm trying to make music with Furnace tracker using the VIC 20 chip and it's pissing me off:
- why is D# out of tune
- why is F out of tune
- why is volume global
of course, this misery is self inflicted, but my question remains WHY??

nice. My First computer was it's precursor - the VIC-20. Sadly I did not have a floppy disc drive for that one or carts. Just tapes.... not the biggest fan of cassettes on a computer.
