I want my Amiga!

So I’m in the late stages of “Vegetation Day”.  Today, I have been spending time with my Amiga computer emulator and the games I have for it.  The emulator, WinUAE, is the most complicated emulator I have.  It took me damn near forever to figure out just how to use it properly. And you can’t […]

Playing games with my printer

Ah, vegetation day.  I try to make that Saturday, but I was too busy yesterday.  And now on Sunday I sit around and do as little as possible.  That’s a shame because I have a ton of stuff I need to get done.  Oh well. Right now, as I did rather recently, I am playing […]

Old games

It’s way past my bed time.  Good lord, it’s almost 11 PM! I long ago declared Saturday’s to be my vegetation day, but I end up doing a lot of work anyway.  Still, that didn’t stop me from playing Civilization II again today.  I like Civ II because it can run on my virtual Windows […]
