Does anyone remember the little QBASIC game called Nibbles? It's pretty much Snake on the nokia cellphones. Kept me busy in school :)

Oh yeah... And Gorilla (Gorillas?) too.

I remember when I got a faster computer (486 @ 100 MHz) I had to tweak NIBBLES's source code because it would crash on startup (divide by zero while trying to measure the computer speed, lol).

 

Ah yes....Gorillas. That was a pretty advanced game for its time....and it's simplicity

We never had that problem with having to tweak nibbles for the faster computers because we never got anything faster than a 386 :(

I did tweak it to put my name all over it like I made it...early days of piracy lol

we made a 3-player version of nibbles. It was awesome

@topic

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Age of Mytholog and AOE2. Still like them.

These were my favorite RTS games along with Starcraft. I am hoping that Starcraft breathes some life back into the RTS catagory.


Yeah, me too I'm going to buy starcraft 2 when it comes out. Will be my first PC game since at least 4 years...
