magic: hi piete
piete: hi
magic: what does the game title mean?
piete: about to hand over no1
piete: rhodan is tied with me already
magic: to whom
magic: ah but you don't quit mule or?
piete: never
magic: good
piete: although may take a couple of weeks break
piete: have some studying to do...
piete: if i can stay away
magic: ggg i have saturday my last test for this semester :)
piete: but i guess it will be easier not to check in every night after im no longer no1
magic: after learning mule is good to relax :)
magic: the sad thing would be if eumel or akire take your no1
piete: what makes these games with constant good opponents and tight games so interesting is that the games i lose i keep thinking about the wrong decisions i made...
magic: yup and mostly it is just one smal error
magic: or bad luck
piete: there should be a "save state" opportunity although the winner would not be that interested to play again from the saved point
piete: i havent had that bad experiences with eumel, is he as bad as akire?
magic: no this would made it boring if you could go back
piete: yeah but im still contemplating trying to achieve perfect score with c64
magic: yup he is ... the last weeks only hosting and after starting kicks opponents
piete: i guess the random events are decided in the beginning, so you save the state on round 1, play the game noting the events to be able to prepare the next time, just for experimental purposes naturally... ;)
magic: there is no perfect score in mule
magic: no they randomize every round
piete: true, the possibilities are infinite
piete: but c64 didnt have that good random generator
piete: and i have saved some states and coming back i think i see the same events
piete: but never bothered to make note of them
magic: hmm which computer has a good random generator?
magic: no computer could have one cause they are based on algorithems
piete: but i mean that maybe the events are all drawn in the beginning
piete: did you have c64?
magic: yup and it should still running
piete: remember tetris? first game was always the same order of blocks
magic: but its stored at my parents house
magic: tetris i played first on amiga but mostly on nintendo
piete: me too on gameboy
piete: i still have it here, the best d-pad ever!
piete: later versions plus ds are too small
magic: i didn't own a nintendo only played with i was fine with my amiga
magic: and there lemmings was my favorit it cost me sleep ...
piete: my first nintendo console was n64, i regret not having owned the previous consoles as much as i regret not having owned the atari 8-bit (any version)
magic: i had a atari 2600 with frogger spaceinvaders pacman asteroids...
magic: but i was to good in frogger and especially pacman that my mom came in after hours and i still on the same game as i started with max bonus lifes
piete: i bought 2600 later, the "new" version in an sellout
piete: it seems to have been a great system harmed by the lack of then expensive memory
piete: whats this game dropzone was a copy of?
magic: don't konw dropzone right now
magic: the 2600 had no build in memory it was at the cardriges
magic: so you can't save games... :(
magic: ah and i rember pitfall on it
piete: it was defender
piete: anyway, it was graphically a very good game on 2600, showing its potential
magic: jup but then came the c64 :)
piete: had the memory (in cartridges) been cheaper, it would have had a lot better games
magic: and afterwards the amiga :)
piete: after all, it was designed by the same people that designed atari 8-bit and amiga
magic: a friend of mine has an origial amiga 1000 with the signatures of the developers and the dog of jay
piete: i still have both amiga 500 and an atari 1040 st
magic: the atari1024st was a crap
magic: we had it in university an i had my c lessens on it
piete: no it wasnt, it was much cheaper than amiga and a very nice machine
magic: we had overall 6 of it completely identical but on one the prog work on the others you got bombs
piete: and many games were faster on it due to its faster cpu and the laziness of programmers, they converted the games directly to amiga without taking advantage of amigas custom chips
magic: the amiga was more stable an much more capable
piete: true
piete: thats why i bought it afterwards 2nd hand
magic: most of the games i played on amiga didn't have atrari versions
piete: if they were 1st programmed to amiga the conversion to atari would have been more difficult
