Have people noticed any new computer software that has been released, that has made them say 'Wow'...
Harvey wrote:My general question is: Have people noticed any new computer software that has been released, that has made them say 'Wow'... --- one example can be 'Thrust' for the Vectrex system. And would you like to see new computer software for your favourite classic computer system?
Harvey wrote:It requires a lot of hard work, time and expertise -- to finish a game of commercial quality. Of course, you cannot expect to get financial recompense for such work these days at all. Just like with releasing Thrust for the Vectrex - it really won't make any profit for the programmer/etc involved. People who spend time developing anything for the old out-dated computers of 30+ years ago - do it for the joy of it - for personal satisfaction. Athough if you are doing it because no one has done it before, and are breaking new ground - then you are making 'history' although it may be called retrogaming history.
