Hi to everyone, Bout time I hopped onboard.

I'm an oldtimer, And have enjoyed owning through the years

C64 (My FIRST modem was a Cicarda 300 for the C64 - Using it to access the local BBS's)

C128 (The 1571 was probably the best thing about this beast - Though I enjoyed using it & mucking about with the CPM os)

A500 + a590 Hard disk (With two scsi drives 20mb & 30mb)

i386 & upward using Dos/Desqview, OS/2, WinXP, and finaly Linux (Which I currently run Fedora on a laptop & Ubuntu on my desktop).

Some notable Sim theme games I liked:

Elite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_%28video_game%29

Mercenary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercenary_%28video_game%29

Sentinal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sentin ... eo_game%29

MULE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.U.L.E .

Alien: http://www.c64-wiki.de/index.php/Alien

Warhead: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhead_%28video_game%29

Carrier Cmd: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_Command

Armour-Geddon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armour-Geddon

The Mechwarrior 2 and Ghost bear expansion were fantastic. (Though I didn't much like MW2:Mercs).

XWing (Original on floppy!) & all the others (Tie fighter, XWing vs Tie then XWing Alliance)

Frontier (Both Elite2 & First Encounters)

And of course oolite and Pioneeer.

I think thats enough for now
