Fortunately for me, I'm too old to know how to pirate even if I wanted to do so.
However, I'm sure the fine people at Broderbund would like to have a long conversation with me from way, way back in the day.
Choplifter and Karateka took up hours and hours and hours of my elementary/middle school years.
If you were playing Choplifter in elementary school, you're really not THAT old. Or you are and that makes me old too, but I'm -hypothetically- completely capable of figuring out piracy. Don't short yourself, there's always room on the high seas.
I think I was in fifth grade when Choplifter came out. I got that sweet sweet apple ii joystick so I could play it better than with the keyboard
If you were playing Choplifter in elementary school, you’re really not THAT old.
If you had to load Choplifter into your Apple II to play it with a cassette tape recorder, then yes, you are old, you are a first gen computer game player.
I only ever had floppies with the apple, but I did play games off cassette on a Pet computer. Good Lord those things took forever to load!
My memory is a little foggy here, but I think I played a text based version of Oregon Trail off cassette on the Pet.
Of course, knowing how to do something has nothing to do with age; there are people over the new who could teach you just fine 😅
were you held back 10-20 years or so? The oldest 5th grader ever?
I'm trying to figure out how a 70+ year old was playing Karateka in school.
Huh? I played Karateka circa 1984 which would've had me in sixth or seventh grade. I'm fifty one now.
Fifty one generally makes me older than most lemme users and I'm usually quite a bit less tech savvy than the stuff I read on here.
At some point you kinda hit a technological comfort zone and don't keep up with cutting edge or technical issues as much anymore. At least that's been my case.
Well, if you download software like qBittorrent be sure to not accidentally download and torrents to copyrighted content.
Or use a VPN while you do it.
