Games

I played Motherload the whole day with Miró today.  It’s about mining, starting with a small machine and making money to buy bigger gear.  I liked the game so much that Miró was allowed to play it all day :-)

Somehow Motherload reminded me of Elite on the BBC Micro.  The mechanism to make money is totally different, even when ignoring the difference in graphics, but the goal is the same: make money to buy bigger gear to make more money faster.  Not that I played Elite more than once, on a friend’s machine: my beeb had a Solidisk floppy drive interface and, iirc, that conflicted with Elite’s copy protection scheme.  Now, how much would a beeb-with-Elite cost on marktplaats?
