Title: Worth anything ?
Post by: on Mon 22/03/2004 21:52:45
Friend gave me some computer stuff he had and didn't want anymore and while I was looking the box's I found this  .
It has all the papers and 8 floppys that are in the 5.1/2 type floppys so think it would run in dos? I don't have a 5.1/2 so anyone want to take this off my hands ? you pay shipping and it is yours ..

Another reason why it pays to lurk the forums for hours on ends, just waiting for a random person to come and post something like this...

I know I'm new around here and maybe should let you know who I I'm I guess .
I have been making games a little under a year now . I started with Game maker and have made a few games with it .
I have my own forum here so if you like to check it out feel free to stop bye http://www.candles-weblog.us/game.board/index.php
I have some games there to download and I have a games websitew over here http://games.candles-weblog.us/ haven't updated it in a few days so need to do that .
I started on the   Adventure game stuff a few months ago with A program called Adventure Maker that use's VB . I'm sure you have heard of it . I made one game with it here is the web site I made for it .
http://games.candles-weblog.us/Deveron.Murder.Mystery.Game/
It was my first  adventure game so it may not be all that great but it was fun for me to do .
I have now started with AGS working on a game that will take me for ever . lol  but thats ok as it gives me something to do .  I have a short term memory loss from being a welder for over 30 years and this is kind of a  therapy   for me doing games as it makes me think and try to remember things .
But anyways thats pleanty (sp) for now .
Hope I didn't post all of this in the wrong place ..

Welcome to the forums and welcome to AGS!

Got anything else in that box you want to offload ;) ?

QuoteI have a short term memory loss ...
This is a first, AGS being used for therapy ... I love it!!  Does making games help you focus and retain the information?  I have a slight problem with short term memory myself.  I kind of 'phase' out from time to time.  Whatever happens while 'phased' is not retained.  I used to think they were siezures of some kind but the doctors say there's nothing wrong with my head.

One time, while 'out of it', I put my keys in my belt loop.  Then I spent 2 (no joke) hours looking through the house for them, all the while they're hanging on my hip!  It gets me in trouble with my girlfriend too because she tells me things and later I don't remember them, then she thinks I don't listen to her!

Again, welcome.

Well what they have found about on me is I have toxins in my blood and in my system now or heavy metals from all the welding dust etc that you find in a welding shop .
For many years they though that this was just  Altheimer , but afer haiving a few welders with the samething happen well they put two and two  ..
It does help somewhat to do this and build games or I would just sit here all day and waste away .. lol

Well, from the looks of it, the box is in good condition, the games disc are all there and they are the old 5.1/2 discs, and then you have both the original manual and the wheel...

...have you an unborn son/daughter... do you want one? ;)

it's not really THAT rare or expensive... I think people are just being overly dramatic about the whole thing

i can find a lot of them for 10 or so dollars online so it's not like you're giving away a gold nugget

Out of curiosity, what game is this? I'm guessing there's a picture or something, but I'm not even getting a red X.  

Unless, of course, he's trying to get rid of a baby monkey.
