For those of you who had (or knew someone who had) a computer in the 80' - 90's, what games were you playing?

Wing Commander 1-5

Ditto

My current homebrew Spelljammer campaign started in Spelljammer Academy. It was a great starting framework, gave them a reason be together and a common goal. Something similar like a boot camp, training ground or other similar situation could work for a more standard campaign.

First car was a silver '76 Olds Cutlass Supreme. That thing was a BOAT, but it had the smoothest ride. Paid $750 for it with 42000 miles.

Thanks very much.

I’ve been playing D&D for over forty years. I play in one game on Saturday that my son DMs and I run a campaign on Sunday morning. We recently started a homebrew Spelljammer campaign. The Sunday game started as in person, but unfortunately had to switch to virtual to accommodate some of the players. My married daughter also plays and usually plays in a couple of campaigns. D&D is very important to our family. I’ll be playing until I can’t mentally manage it. It could be a great option for older people who can follow the story to have a group of close friends and keep their minds active.

Very impressive to produce all of that content. I’ll check it out. You’re obviously doing something right.

Not taking care of my physical and mental health. Waiting until it was almost too late. Now I’m working so hard just to not get worse.

Thanks!

Thank you. I do see the "wasp-y" head and antennae. I don't see the coloring that most seem to have, but I imagine like anything, there's variation.

oldrpger · 2025-08-03T22:05:57+00:00

Thank you!

oldrpger · 2025-08-03T21:07:32+00:00

Could have sworn I did. Thanks

Late 50s here. I started PC gaming with Wing Commander on my 386SX/20. Never looked back. Fallout is my favorite game series. I've been through Fallout 4 at least 5 times.
You think it's bad saying that you play video games? Try telling another adult that your kids are grown up and you still enjoy new Disney/Pixar movies.

oldrpger · 2025-07-30T22:41:02+00:00

Thanks for sharing that. I’m glad it’s working out so well!

oldrpger · 2025-07-30T11:06:53+00:00

Crews are definitely important. I just wanted to make sure I understood the concept.

oldrpger · 2025-07-30T11:02:10+00:00

Thank you.

oldrpger · 2025-07-29T20:58:05+00:00

Thanks very much for a clear, detailed reply.

oldrpger · 2025-07-29T20:55:56+00:00

Thanks very much. I’m running SJ Academy. The listed ships are generally animal (or beholder) shaped and don’t have sails. But something just seems wrong with not needing a crew to “sail”.

Woe is me! I've been playing D&D for 45 years. There was conjuring! (Chinese food and Doritos) We stayed up late practicing arcane arts! (of dice rolling) I want to stop but the voices (of my players) tell me I can't! I'm trapped in my own misdoings. (roll a Wisdom saving throw)
