Who out there in WikiLand remembers using one of these badboys in school? -- PudgyMoogle 12:47, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
My buddies and I were always hacking/cracking/snooping the root passwords.
The coolest thing ever was launching a background task of an animated image (a man hanging in a tree, swaying in the wind) and then logging out.
The next person to come along would see "Login:" but then be very puzzled at the background animatation...it was the coolest of the cool!
I recall using a program that would give you multiple choice options. How much space to clear for a farm, how to clear trees, etc. It would tally your food output and you could continue on or the game would end if you screwed up. I didn't see that game in the list on the main page, not sure what it was called. 99.240.128.108 ( talk) 20:26, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
is it right to say this was based on the i286? i remember using icons that had i186 and i386 processors as well. SmellsBurntToast ( talk) 18:10, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Having a *NIX like O/S to play (hack) with in public school was absolutely visionary. I remember it Logo, C, and hypertext games before we had even conceived of the WWW (we still had 5 or 6 years to go before we had the internet). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianjester ( talk • contribs) 14:37, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
