I've been gradually reading the Digital Antiquarian's series of posts [0] about history of computer games. Many of these feature links to try out these games (I haven't yet gotten to games that were released after I was born)... with user setup required (take this disk image, run it in a Apple II emulator, etc). The history so far has heavily featured text based simple parser adventure games.
This might be the way in which I finally try one of these games out. Though, I'm betting my attention won't last long.
I want to write technically interesting posts like this too, but I don't know how.
My writing is mostly just tracking various internet posts to trace history. How do you create interesting posts based on personal experience like this?
well first you have personal experiences like that
or rather: you have personal experiences like whatever your experiences are like, not like theirs, and then you write about them if you think anyone else would also be interested.
