I work in software development, starting way back in the commodore64 and apple2 days.
I like many types of games, be they space sims, rts (like startcraft), rpg (like the old ultimas), or leaving the PC and playing around a table with board games or roleplaying.
I have found X3 to be kind of monotonous, and was not grabbed when I tried Eve. I am very hopeful that StarCitizen will provide a really fun space sim experience, with a lot of hours of play-time.
I heard of Citadel from my friend Monan.

Welcome, ReveR!

Glad you found your way here at Monan's behest and it's always good to have another software developer onboard. I started waaay back in the day on TRS-80's but I primarily do web and oracle application development these days. What is your language/platform of choice?

In any case, I'd like to formally welcome you to the Hell's Angels division of Citadel Space! I've added you to our roster which will give you access to our member's only forums.

Please make your first stop the new pilot post in the Locker Room to see everything that's need-to-know at a glance. After that, take your time to catch up on some posts and get to know the other pilots.

Welcome to Citadel, ReveR!

You taking about c64 has bought back some memories. We had the c128 for quite some time and it was the start of my gaming life. I think I would love to get one back, however it may ruin the great memories.

These days I go between C#/.Net on PC platforms and C/C++ in embedded projects. Of course it all started with basic (like) or assembly language on the old 8bits.

Yes the C64 was a fun computer. Color output, either text or graphics. The built in sound chip. Trying to save your games on cassette tape, until of course you could afford the optional floppy disk drive. But yes, compared to what we use today, it would not be pleasant to use now.

I had cassette storage on my TRS-80. Ahhhh, the good ol' days. ;p

I was lucky, my dad had 2 floppy drives for our C64. We were ballers.

I pretty much owe everything I have in life to that C64... Never would have gotten into computers... Instead of posting on these forums right now, I'd probably be living in a van, down by the river.

OMG, I just watched that DVD last night. My sides hurt today I laughed sooo much! I love how David Spade and Christina Applegate can't even keep it together!
