Electric Solar Adventure

Playing old computer games is something a certain number of people do (although in my case, that could involve having been too stubborn to have ever bought the “right” computer to play the new games from any moment on). Trying out more recent programs that push what old computers were thought capable of gets some attention, too (although it keeps reminding me my own programming skills remain very limited). Something in between either option, namely exploring antique “productivity software,” appears to be more obscure. There do seem reasons for that. Trying out an “8-bit” word processor, spreadsheet, or other serious application gives an impression of being less fun than playing an “8-bit” game and less rewarding than programming an “8-bit” microprocessor. Every so often, though, I do poke away at an application or two with thoughts of trying to get a better sense of the more recent days of yore.
