Ran Word of The Day:

PCjr

Celebrating 40 years of King's Quest with a blast of nostalgia 🏰✨ Check out the original PCjr big box game, complete with the rare first release keyboard overlay. A huge thanks to Pascal Gnislew for sharing this unique piece of gaming history!

Despite IBM's infamous

Point-and-Click Games Through the Years - 1984

King's Quest - Sierra On-Line - IBM PCjr

Even though technically a point-and-click game as it used text inputs rather than a mouse, this game was hugely instrumental in influencing the genre with a well crafted adventure.

Long weekend kind of JAM…. 🇺🇸

King's Quest II: Romancing the Throne - Sierra On-Line - IBM PCjr

With a bigger story than KQ1 that somehow featured aliens, it also featured music from Bach and remade a little prettier in 1987.

late 1984 pcjr ad

An IBM PC with cartridge slots anyone?
Announced in 1983, the IBM PCjr came in two models: the 4860-004, with 64 KB of memory, and the 4860-067, with 128 KB of memory and a 360 KB 5.25-inch floppy disk drive
Like the PC, it had an Intel 8088 CPU, but it features cartridge slot(s)

A $50 PCjr monitor was also a steal. And it works! Now my system is complete

Multilayered problem for the #Saints :

1. Legit no other NFL OC (employed or w/o a job) wants to work w/ DA
2. PCJr has shown to be a meh OC at best but he DOESNT want to be (Carr has missed numerous open targets tho)
3. DA lacks balls to make a play calling change

Terrible!

I think AI is running the official World of Warcraft Page on Facebook .

That's a IBM PCjr from 1984, it had a Intel 8088 CPU and 64K of RAM, it was a commercial failure and scrapped in 1985.

Quote tweet an old photo of you.

I'll throw it back further. 1984, playing Sierra's 'King's Quest' on an old PCjr (8088, 4.77 MHz, 64kb RAM).

Happy 40th anniversary to the announcement of IBM's famous flop, the IBM PCjr! 🎉🎂🎈🍾🥂

So how is everyone’s weekend going so far. Mine has been pretty good!

Which version of King's Quest comes with this manual? Its probably filled incorrectly but its listed as the manual for PcJr version in the ExoDos collection. Looks pretty fancy with the embossed cover.
