20:16:31 *Armenthorr sings "greased lightening" in the hope it may have some relevance . .
20:16:37 Tharadus "Gorra very important message for Gabrielle in level 2 - she hasn't been very well." Whaddya think James, sir?

20:18:19 Malefact If it were that I wouldn't be here. :)
20:18:24 Zagor Yes, very good KaM
20:18:24 Tharadus evanescent?
20:18:42 Malefact (Btw, I have a theory that God is an atheist - that'll account for Quantum Mechanics)
20:18:48 Guest has left the room
20:18:56 Armenthorr I have my own religion
20:18:57 Armenthorr :>
20:19:09 Armenthorr that means fizzy dont it?

20:19:12 Tharadus Threnodical..?
20:19:14 Kieran 'this cake exploding place?'
20:19:20 Steve I have a theory, as i said to Malefact lasrt night, that I don't believe in organised religion
20:19:20 Aranel Lol
20:19:34 Steve I believe people should be able to worship me however they like
20:19:41 Armenthorr like Organised crime, but mory holy
20:19:46 Malefact To which I replied that I believe in nothing. :)

20:23:14 Aranel That was like when my father and I were throwing peanuts at eachother from across the room
20:23:23 Ark How long ago was that?
20:23:45 Ark The youngest non-baby in our fight was 23! :)
20:23:56 Aranel LOL!
20:24:02 Zagor Like it
20:24:12 Aranel How long ago was what? The peanut thingy?
20:24:13 Ark Ah, maturity - who needs it?
20:24:18 Ark Yep
20:24:23 Malefact True.
20:24:26 Aranel Maturity's a dang sin!
20:24:27 Armenthorr .
20:24:32 Armenthorr good point me
20:24:42 Ark :)
20:24:50 Aranel The peanut thingy happened a couple of days a go
20:24:50 Zagor This is Zagor signing off. Godd luck to everyone who's taking part in the London filming and hope to see you sometime during the week.
20:24:53 Zagor has left the room

20:26:16 Armenthorr Spellcasting NUCLEAR FALLOUT SHELTER
20:26:25 Aranel NUCLEAR POWEEEEEEEER!
20:26:27 *Aranel giggles

20:27:44 Kieran Bye bye.
20:27:47 Steve bye everybody
20:27:49 Steve has left the room
20:27:57 Ark Night
20:28:12 Aranel Well noticed, Ark
20:28:15 Aranel ;o)
20:28:16 Armenthorr Bybye everybody, i've got to go, got to leave it all behind and start again . . .
20:28:25 Armenthorr etc.
20:28:30 Aranel Indeed
20:28:50 Armenthorr lol
20:28:52 Ark Ta-ra
20:29:01 Malefact Bye!
20:29:07 Aranel TTFN!
20:29:08 *Ark juggles cheese slices
20:29:14 Armenthorr indeed
20:29:18 *Aranel steels a cheese slice
20:29:21 Aranel *steals
20:29:22 Armenthorr whose leaving?
20:29:38 *Aranel runs into her kitchen in confusion
20:30:10 Ark Hey! My cheese!!!
20:30:16 Aranel Mine now!
20:30:25 Kieran now now, no fights!
20:30:31 Aranel :oP
20:31:02 Malefact A Battle Of Spells could be good. :)
20:31:13 Ark Spellcasting...CHEESE
20:31:19 *Ark turns Aranel into cheese
20:31:20 Aranel It could be....I'll hide in the kitchen tho
20:31:30 Ark Too late!
20:31:35 *Aranel looks extreamly unimpressed
20:31:51 Aranel Y'know, being a piece of cheese isn't the kind of lifestyle you'd expect
20:32:14 *Ark pulls out a cheese knife
20:32:17 Ark Heh heh heh...
20:32:22 *Aranel squeaks
20:32:34 Malefact You're only allowed to use spells used in Km - and once only. No dispelling. :)
20:32:53 Aranel :op @ Ark
20:33:05 Ark You what? Everyone Dispelled!
20:33:07 Malefact Each person takes it in turn to cast a spell which is effective upon everyone else. They must each overcome the spell in their own way.
20:33:23 *Ark puts Aranel on a slice of bread
20:33:26 Malefact If dispelling is allowed it'd be pointless. :)
20:33:35 *Aranel hides behind Kieran
20:33:40 Ark But I'm Lord Wraith! I don't pay attention to the rules!
20:33:50 Malefact The point is for people to use their imagination and memory to find a spell to counter that which has been used against you. :)
20:33:58 Ark Alright then
20:34:00 Malefact Ain't no fun, then. :)
20:34:02 *Kieran looks worryingly at Aranel
20:34:06 Ark Dispell...BELT
20:34:18 *Ark makes Malefact's trousers fall down
20:34:30 Kieran Yes, the rotten so and so poisoned my ale!
20:34:55 *Aranel looks at Kieran in confusion
20:35:08 *Malefact spellcasts DARK
20:35:10 Aranel First thing, ale's skanky, second thing...huh?
20:35:15 Ark BWA HAHAHAHAHA!!!
20:35:19 *Kieran pokes Aranel
20:35:26 *Malefact spellcasts ITCH on Ark
20:35:28 Kieran watch RPG5 (hopefully!) ;-)
20:35:35 *Aranel squeaks, hides again as she hears the evil laughter
20:35:51 Ark Counterspell...TRANSFER
20:36:00 *Ark reflects the ITCH Spell to Malefact
20:36:04 Malefact There is no TRANSFER spell in Km. :)
20:36:05 Aranel brb
20:36:11 Malefact And spells cannot be reflected. :)
20:36:18 Ark No. I made it! BWA HAHAHAHA!!!
20:36:43 Ark And I can reflect it because...I'm evil! EEEEEEEVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!
20:36:55 *Malefact collapses in a heap of logic
20:37:11 Malefact Hi, Lucifer! Long time no see! :)
20:37:20 Lucifer Where is my evilness in crime?
20:37:51 Lucifer Don't dare say hello to me you washed up Mage.
20:38:13 Malefact Well, get you! :)
20:38:32 Armenthorr oooohh, handbag
20:38:42 Malefact Don't be like that, Lucy. :)
20:38:55 Lucifer Wraith? Where are you now hmm? Why is it that he is evil, then vanishes when I want him.
20:39:26 Lord_Wraith Look upon Wraith and quail...even more than Mogdred!
20:39:28 Lucifer Ah..
20:39:50 Malefact Even more than Mogdred's victims. :)
20:40:02 Lord_Wraith Ha! Mogdred quails before me!
20:40:21 *Lucifer stares at Wraith
20:40:23 *Aranel sits in her kitchen and bakes cakes
20:40:43 Lord_Wraith You spoke my name, now speak your mind. What is it you wanted from me?
20:41:17 Malefact Atmosphere. :)
20:41:33 Lucifer Well I was just wondering what evil scheme you had up your sleeve next? I mean, the last one, us trying to trap the idiot Dungeoneers, hardly worked, did it?
20:42:09 Lucifer And now we have this Malefact around, I thought it a good idea to join powers.
20:42:41 Lord_Wraith I have uncovered the existence of an unparalleled power, one that could destroy the most cunning of Dungeroneers
20:43:06 *Lucifer sits down at his silk table and listens
20:43:07 Malefact Yeah. The controller of CITV. :)
20:43:16 Lucifer Goodness me not that!
20:43:23 *Aranel realises there are big people arguing outside her kitchen....Halts her cake making and brings out her broadsword just incase
20:43:25 Lord_Wraith No, the power known as...NUCLEAR POWER!!!
20:43:43 Lucifer Ahhhh! That will be most helpful!
20:44:10 Lord_Wraith And they shall quail before the might of my Atomic Pogo Stick!
20:44:21 Malefact It ain't as good as Quasi-Existential Shunt. :)
20:44:22 Armenthorr Spellcasting VANISH
20:44:25 Armenthorr has left the room
20:44:34 *Lucifer looks for quailing
20:44:40 *Aranel frowns in confusion, peeks around her kitchen door after hearing of this Atomic Pogo Stick
20:45:34 Malefact I think you're evil because a long time ago someone hurt your feelings. :)
20:45:40 *Lord_Wraith watches as a quail falls on Lucxifer's head
20:45:50 Lord_Wraith I'm evil because it's sop much more fun!
20:46:02 Malefact You ain't an SOP. :)
20:46:34 Lucifer No but I am, remember that you horrible 'Good Guy'
20:46:48 Malefact Who said I was good? :)
20:46:49 *Lucifer removes the offending item
20:47:14 *Aranel stands in the doorway of her kitchen, leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed and broadsword by her side. Eyes narrowed in slight confusion.
20:47:36 *Lucifer spots a female
20:47:56 Malefact That's a new name for it. :)
20:48:02 *Aranel frowns, picks up her sword
20:48:08 *Lord_Wraith grins evilly
20:48:35 Lucifer So, female, care to join on to my group of assistants?
20:48:36 *Malefact encloses Aranel in a causality SHIELD
20:48:47 Lucifer People say I have been about, but they don't know me very well.
20:49:14 *Aranel holds her sword infront of her for defence
20:49:32 KaM has joined the room
20:49:33 Aranel I dont trust those who permanently set camp on mount ego
20:49:34 Lucifer haha, a sword?
20:49:37 Malefact WB!
20:49:40 Lucifer Ahh, another Mage!
20:49:59 RedMage Thanks. :)
20:50:09 Lucifer Evil Mage's!
20:50:28 Aranel Indeed, 'tis a sword. What is this, Lucifer's object recognision time?
20:50:29 RedMage I is here to be quiet and have the babble around me.
20:50:34 Lord_Wraith Oh Lucifer, you are lost in an eternal ocean of decadence and moral decay. You shall win no war against the Powers That Be in such a state
20:50:49 Lucifer Yes it is, it is also Lucifers 'laugh at pathetic weapons' time
20:51:22 Lucifer Oh yes I shall! I win before you do!
20:51:29 Aranel Fine, if you wish me to disgard my weapon, I shall.
20:51:33 Lucifer I shall win, rather.
20:51:54 Lucifer I do....Now, anyone seen Morgaine about?
20:53:23 RedMage : _ (
20:54:15 *Aranel shakes her head and decides to go for a wander around the woodland
20:54:30 Davius ah well, im gonna have to go now. sorry i havent been chatting much tonight, but I have been dabbling in techno-magic lore (or as some call it, 'electronics homework')

21:07:08 Aranel :o)
21:07:12 Malefact Bye!
21:07:28 Lord_Wraith Bye!!!
21:07:31 Lord_Wraith has left the room
21:08:03 *Aranel still sits in her tree, looks down....Gulps
21:08:22 Aranel It seems I've chosen a rather tall tree to watch from...
21:09:26 Malefact Fancy a ride in my cherry picker?
21:09:46 Aranel I need to get down from this tree first, gimmie a sec
21:10:23 *Aranel looks around nervously
21:11:06 Malefact Hehe. :)
21:11:20 Aranel :op
21:12:06 Aranel A little help?
21:12:40 Malefact Use my cherry picker! :)
21:14:15 *Aranel looks sceptical of this 'cherry' picker
21:14:36 Malefact Climb in, girl! It's safe. :)
21:14:54 *Aranel still looks sceptical
21:15:33 Thanatos has joined the room
21:15:37 Thanatos Greetings, all.
21:15:40 Aranel Yo, Thanatos!
21:15:41 Malefact Hi!
21:15:57 *Aranel waves from her tree
21:16:42 Thanatos Your tree?
21:17:27 Aranel Yup. I climbed up a tree to wait for a certain blonde, freckled, elf-creature with my broadsword...Then I realised I'd climbed up a rather tall tree and I cant get down
21:17:52 Malefact And she won't use my cherry picker. :)
21:18:09 Aranel I'm rather sceptical of 'cherry' pickers
21:19:05 Thanatos I'm afraid I'm not as good at levitation (or tree control) as I am at fireballs, and I don't want to burn the tree down.
21:19:15 Aranel Hmmm....good idea
21:19:25 Thanatos NO!
21:19:35 Thanatos I know - I'll cast Spider Climb on you, then you'll be able to get down.
21:19:37 Aranel Oooh, spoil all my fun!
21:19:43 *Thanatos casts Spider Climb on Aranel.
21:20:17 *Aranel arrives safely back on the woodland ground
21:20:42 Aranel Thanks
21:20:43 Myatt has joined the room
21:20:49 Thanatos Greetings, Myatt.
21:20:50 Aranel Yo, Myatt
21:20:57 Myatt Greetings hiddsey's
21:20:59 Malefact Hi!
21:21:31 Myatt hulla
21:22:25 Aranel How's you?
21:22:48 Myatt still going strong
21:23:20 Aranel Good, good
21:23:41 Aranel You seen any blonde haired, freckled elf-creatures?
21:23:53 Aranel With mainly green clothing?
21:24:14 Myatt only in the discusion forum
21:24:22 Aranel Hmmm
21:24:39 *Aranel narrows eyes and looks about the woodland
21:25:03 Aranel I'm determined to get him some day...
21:26:05 *Aranel digs her broadsword into the ground and sits beside it
21:29:06 KaM I cannot decide for whether my head ~ feels more like steel or more like lead
21:29:25 Thanatos How heavy is it?
21:30:27 Steve has joined the room
21:30:32 Malefact WB!
21:30:40 Aranel Wb!
21:30:42 Steve thankyou
21:30:51 Steve a little unexpected, but never mind
21:31:06 KaM Either way I welcome Steve - He takes my place, I take my leave
21:31:14 KaM :) Later chaps
21:31:22 Malefact Bye!
21:31:23 Aranel Aww
21:31:30 *Aranel hugs KaM
21:31:37 Steve bye KaM
21:31:48 *KaM hugs back - and waves back
21:31:58 Aranel Byeee
21:32:06 KaM vale omnis
21:32:09 KaM has left the room
21:32:59 Thanatos Belated greetings, Steve.
21:33:15 Steve thankyou Thanatos
21:34:51 Thanatos Hmm...KaM's Latin could do with improvement: he said "goodbye all" with "all" being singular, as if he were talking to an uncountable lump (e.g. he was addressing all the mashed potato in a large pile of it). He meant "valete omnes" ("goodbye everyone").
21:35:22 *Aranel whistles as the logic is far too much for her
21:35:59 Malefact The dastard!
21:36:22 Steve I think we should kill him for making that mistake next time we see hmn
21:36:24 Thanatos It's a fairly simple concept but I can't think of a less clumsy way to explain it to those who don't know any Latin (apologies if any of you do).
21:36:25 Steve *him
21:36:43 Thanatos Er, no, just insult him in Latin.
21:36:45 Malefact I know a bit about languages. :)
21:36:55 Malefact I know about uncountable nouns etc.
21:36:57 Aranel *nods* My Latin's extreamly basic
21:37:04 Steve I speak French and German
21:37:13 Aranel I speak French, German and Spanish
21:37:59 Thanatos How about "futue te et equum in quo intrans vectum es" ("Screw you and the horse you rode in on", or, to be absolutely literal, "Have sex with yourself and the horse on which, entering, you were conveyed")?
21:38:20 Aranel Lol!! Gotta use that at school!
21:38:47 Thanatos There's also "podex perfectus es" ("You are a total arsehole").
21:39:25 Thanatos Or "stercorum pro cerebro habes" ("You have dung for a brain").
21:39:27 Malefact I'll remember that next time I want to try to communicate in a dead language that almost no-one understands. ;)
21:39:35 Steve same here
21:40:05 Forester has joined the room
21:40:10 Malefact Hi!
21:40:12 Forester Hullo
21:40:20 Aranel *has noted all of these down* :o) I shall now confuse my 'fellow' classmates even more
21:40:25 Aranel Yo, Forester
21:40:26 Steve lol
21:40:43 Thanatos To those who condemn the study of Latin and Greek I say, ""capita vestra in anis sunt" ("Your heads are up your bottoms").
21:40:51 Thanatos Greetings, Forester.
21:41:21 Malefact I don't condemn it, I merely question the importance of learning so thoroughly a language that hasn't been in wide use for thousands of years.
21:41:39 Malefact In fact, Classical Latin wasn't even widely used in Roman times - everyone spoke Vulgar Latin.
21:41:47 Aranel It's keeping the language alive, so it's not forgotten
21:41:57 Thanatos Not te upper classes (who are the only ones of any importance, sadly).
21:42:00 Thanatos *the
21:42:07 Forester It's passing the time when Coronation St is on (controversial I know)
21:42:53 Malefact One could argue that the study of language is more important than the languages themselves.
21:43:21 Aranel1 has joined the room
21:44:21 Aranel has left the room
21:44:58 Aranel Sorry about that!
21:46:04 Aranel Sorry, dudes, best be off
21:46:08 *Aranel hugs all
21:46:11 Malefact Bye! :(
21:46:17 Steve bye
21:46:19 Thanatos Bye.
21:46:32 Aranel Have a good night, all.
21:46:41 *Aranel hugs Malefact
21:46:44 Steve same to you
21:46:49 Aranel :o)
21:46:52 Aranel Night all!
21:46:56 Aranel XxX
21:46:58 Aranel has left the room
21:50:56 Steve has left the room
21:53:22 *Thanatos fireballs a passing tumbleweed.
21:54:22 Malefact Rah!
21:55:48 Myatt the wind whistleing passed
21:57:51 Malefact And so I died and met you at the terminus...
21:57:58 Malefact Seems a funny name for it but I can't laugh...
21:58:03 Malefact No-one's laughing...
21:58:08 Malefact I went to the shop and bought a paper...
21:58:14 Malefact It took a long time, they had no staff...
21:58:17 Malefact You were crying...
21:58:18 Thanatos Which paper?
21:58:26 Malefact A paper. :P
21:58:37 Malefact The train was coming, the paper had no date...
21:58:43 Malefact I lost my watch so the train was never late...
21:58:50 Malefact The train came up and we left the terminus...
21:58:55 Thanatos A broadsheet or a tabloid?
21:58:57 Malefact Seems a funny way to go but I can't laugh...
21:59:02 Malefact No-one's laughing...
21:59:09 Malefact The tunnel came up and you were crying...
21:59:15 Malefact No longer was the light cut in half...
21:59:20 Malefact You were crying...
21:59:25 Malefact Darkness fell, space folded in...
21:59:30 Malefact I got the joke and started to grin.
22:03:39 Thanatos Where did that come from?
22:03:40 Chris has left the room
22:03:56 Malefact My mind, circa November 2001.
22:04:34 Thanatos Oh. Not bad at all.
22:04:44 Malefact Thanks. :)
22:07:06 Elessar has joined the room
22:07:11 Malefact Hi!
22:07:15 Elessar hi
22:07:44 Thanatos has left the room
22:07:51 Malefact How's you?
22:08:15 Elessar I'm okay...how about you? and everyone else if anyone else is alive
22:08:25 Malefact I'm about 40%.
22:08:53 Elessar whats wrong with the other 60%?
22:09:18 Malefact I'll hopefully reclaim it over the next few months.
22:09:24 Elessar ah ok
22:09:34 Malefact With any luck I'll be about 90% by year's end.
22:09:45 Malefact 100% is technically impossible because therel
22:09:51 Elessar I see
22:09:59 Malefact 'll always be something wrong. :)
22:10:14 Elessar so in fact 90% is as good as it could possibly be and therefore is actually 100%
22:11:11 Malefact Well, I can be better than 90% but it gets harder and harder to improve after that.
22:11:38 Elessar I see
22:11:40 Malefact I could get close to 100% but never actually reach. It's a theoretical limit only.
22:12:00 Elessar okay then
22:16:43 Thanatos has joined the room
22:17:00 Thanatos Sorry for my abrupt departure - my computer reset itself for no reason at all.
22:17:33 Elessar strange
22:18:01 Malefact What did it say?
22:18:05 Thanatos I think Windows 98 is just getting tired.
22:18:20 Malefact That version of Windoze self-destructs.
22:18:45 Thanatos I hope it can last until next August, by when I should have my own computer (since I'll be going to university in a year).
22:18:57 Elessar good plan
22:19:03 Elessar my hard drive gave up on life the other week
22:19:23 Elessar the strange noises and only loading up when it felt like it encouraged my decision to repalce it
22:19:26 Malefact You might want to do some housekeeping on the registeries - that's the prime culprit in sluggish performance.
22:19:44 Malefact I hate hardware faults.
22:19:47 Elessar yes
22:19:54 Elessar I've never really had a bad one ebfore
22:20:07 Elessar occasional dodgy parallel ports....but a dodgy hard drive is scary
22:20:15 Malefact I can imagine.
22:20:32 Elessar all that data in jeopardy and it fails to load for the 6th time in a row......the 7th time when it did load up I backed absolutely everything up
22:20:43 Thanatos The hard drive crashed on our first computer and the motherboard died on this one. Fortunately the hard disk remained completely intact, so we just had to replace the motherboard and processor.
22:20:47 Malefact Very wise.
22:20:59 Elessar then it laoded up every time for a week but I was taking no risks so the dodgy hard drive is now sitting in my cupboard, in disgrace
22:21:13 Elessar horrible crunching noises it was making, and it said 'can not detect IDE drives'
22:21:41 Malefact That's just a standard response when the computer doesn't get the right reply (if at all) from the drive.
22:22:20 Thanatos At some point I might have to back up everything, format the drive and re-install everything.
22:22:37 Elessar it didn't detect the slave drive either which is interesting
22:22:48 Thanatos The only problem would be backing up saved games - I'm don't know how easy it is.
22:23:19 Malefact Provided you copy every file it should be fine.
22:25:17 Thanatos Some game folders have a "Save" subfolder - would I just copy that in its entirety?
22:25:45 Malefact I think so.
22:26:10 Malefact The game itself might save some settings in its own folders, though, to tell itself that a game has been saved.
22:26:35 Elessar must depart
22:26:36 Elessar goodbye all
22:26:38 Elessar has left the room
22:26:40 Malefact Bye!
22:26:43 Malefact Oh.
22:26:50 Thanatos Ah. And simply copying the entire game folder wouldn't work, I expect, because of the registry.
22:28:01 Malefact Quite possibly.
22:28:15 Malefact Without knowing specifics I can't say for certain, though.
22:28:26 Thanatos How much of a computer expert are you?
22:29:14 Malefact Programming is my principal area of expertise.
22:30:49 Thanatos Well, I'd probably ask a technician from Special Reserve (the company we got it from) to look.
22:31:24 Malefact Indeed.
22:32:28 Thanatos I could probably put up with losing MOST of the saved games, but there are some I'd be really pissed off to lose.
22:33:06 Malefact I can imagine. I've got entire completed saved games of Sonic And Knuckles on the cartidge.
22:33:54 Thanatos I've only got the emulated version (S3&K, as well as S1, S2, S2&K and the 'S1&K' special stages game).
22:34:17 Thanatos I've got perfect games (i.e. all super emeralds) as Sonic and Tails, but not as Knuckles.
22:34:23 Malefact You can't have S1&K.
22:35:07 Thanatos I know, but by plugging S1 S&K you got hundreds, maybe thousands, of blue sphere special stages.
22:35:24 Thanatos *plugging S1 INTO S&K
22:35:45 Malefact I tried it but a screen came up saying that the cartidge was unacceptable.
22:36:09 Thanatos Press A, B and C simultaneously.
22:36:14 Thanatos Tails is my favourite character. If you disagree you won't be able to argue with me just now, because I must leave.
22:36:17 Thanatos has left the room
22:36:36 Malefact Hmm. I didn't know that.
22:36:54 Malefact I'll have to whip the old Mega Drive out and try that one out.
22:37:33 Myatt Master system
22:46:08 Billy1987-1994 has joined the room
22:46:14 Malefact Hi!
22:46:23 Billy1987-1994 Greetings all!
22:46:32 Billy1987-1994 All...4 of you! ;)
22:47:56 Billy1987-1994 Anything happening tonight?
22:48:08 Malefact Cypher can tell you. :)
22:48:17 Billy1987-1994 Ah-ha! I see!
22:49:04 Myatt a Bills
22:49:41 Billy1987-1994 Looks like I missed the fun!
22:49:50 Malefact Hehe. :)
22:50:01 Malefact Well, the night is young.
22:50:20 Malefact We could always play Tr... oh, wait.
22:52:39 Billy1987-1994 Anyone know how much an Atari VCS with two joysticks, two paddles and 13 games are worth?
22:52:55 Malefact I'm not sure.
22:53:15 Myatt bout 50 quid
22:53:32 Billy1987-1994 Ooh, that's good, I got it for £20
22:54:03 Myatt dunno really but i had an atari ST 1040 once
22:54:14 Myatt sold it about 8 years ago or more
22:54:33 Billy1987-1994 Ah, the old ST
22:54:50 Myatt yes, what was the VCS?
22:54:52 Malefact My dad has an original Atari games console.
22:55:46 Malefact1 has joined the room
22:55:48 Billy1987-1994 VCS was the original name for something called the Atari 2600. It was released in 1977 and was the number 1 games console from 1977-1983
22:56:39 Myatt 2600, certainly more powerful than mine, surely was not as old as that was it
22:56:44 Malefact1 Long live Breakout. :)
22:56:51 Billy1987-1994 That's the one!
22:57:16 Myatt 2600KB?
22:58:01 Malefact has left the room
22:58:39 Billy1987-1994 Put it this way, here is what Donkey Kong looked like on the 2600- http://www.classicgaming.com/2600ce/art/gotw/dk/dk2.jpg
22:59:21 Myatt yours must have been older than the ST then
22:59:36 Billy1987-1994 ST released about '86, VCS released '77
22:59:38 Myatt graphics on st were better
22:59:44 Myatt yes
22:59:46 Billy1987-1994 Indeed they were!
23:00:01 Myatt last game for st was probably knightmare
23:00:12 Myatt and shadowgate
23:00:14 Malefact The graphics back then may be more primative but at least they were playable.
23:00:17 Billy1987-1994 It was rather fun growing up- while my uncle had an ST, my dad had an Amiga 500
23:00:50 Billy1987-1994 Naturally, I had to get emulators for both
23:01:55 Myatt very good
23:02:04 Billy1987-1994 Indeed!
23:03:57 Myatt its a shame my knightmare game crashed always
23:07:08 Malefact http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/clipserve/B000003S0P001005/0/104-4054127-2919108
23:07:15 Malefact For maximum depression.
23:13:30 Myatt has left the room
23:15:00 Malefact Rah!
23:15:31 Billy1987-1994 Grah!
23:15:51 Billy1987-1994 Actually, I almost never got that VCS
23:16:27 Malefact I saw an Atari Lynx on sale in a second-hand shop earlier this year. I was greatly tempted to get it.
23:16:34 Malefact They only wanted £15.
23:16:47 Billy1987-1994 Ooh, nasty!
23:17:12 Malefact Massively ahead of its time it was.
23:17:48 Billy1987-1994 Indeed! It would take until 2001 for Nintendo to sucessfully mirror the technology
23:18:15 Malefact Sega ripped it off big-time, though, with the Game Gear.
23:18:34 Billy1987-1994 There were three at this boot sale, but they were £10 each
23:20:54 Malefact I'd like to own one some day.
23:27:46 Billy1987-1994 So...anything happen in your day today?
23:28:19 Malefact I finished recording another track for my album.
23:29:38 Billy1987-1994 Good, good
23:30:00 Malefact I hope to record the closing instrumental track this week using the piano in my mum's school.
23:30:12 Malefact A dash of reverb should make it a very haunting piece indeed. :)
23:41:26 Billy1987-1994 Be right back, I haven't checked this weeks number one yet
23:41:49 Malefact OK.
23:43:49 Billy1987-1994 Back (same people as last week
23:43:51 Billy1987-1994 )
23:44:39 Malefact Is that good?
23:45:28 Billy1987-1994 No idea, I don't know who they are!
23:46:39 Malefact What about the song?
23:47:50 Billy1987-1994 Haven't heard it!
23:48:29 Malefact Fair enough. :)
23:48:39 Malefact Elton John was at number one a few weeks ago wasn't he?
23:49:07 Billy1987-1994 He was
23:49:22 Malefact How did he manage that?
23:49:37 Billy1987-1994 It was on a Sky Sports advert
23:50:24 Malefact Can't say I've heard it.
23:54:56 Billy1987-1994 Hmm...don't think anyone else will be coming in tonight
23:56:39 Malefact Indeed. :(
00:01:12 Billy1987-1994 Hello, KaM's online
00:01:40 Malefact Indeed. :)
00:12:47 Malefact I have to be off now.
00:12:57 Malefact Take care! See you next weekend.
00:13:04 Malefact Bye!
00:13:07 Malefact has left the room
00:15:15 Billy1987-1994 Darn! Missed him!
00:15:20 Billy1987-1994 Oh well!
00:15:24 Billy1987-1994 has left the room
02:26:40 Forester has left the room
