Fortunately for me, I'm too old to know how to pirate even if I wanted to do so.
However, I'm sure the fine people at Broderbund would like to have a long conversation with me from way, way back in the day.
Choplifter and Karateka took up hours and hours and hours of my elementary/middle school years.
If you were playing Choplifter in elementary school, you're really not THAT old. Or you are and that makes me old too, but I'm -hypothetically- completely capable of figuring out piracy. Don't short yourself, there's always room on the high seas.
If you had to load Choplifter into your Apple II to play it with a cassette tape recorder, then yes, you are old, you are a first gen computer game player.
I think I was in fifth grade when Choplifter came out. I got that sweet sweet apple ii joystick so I could play it better than with the keyboard
Of course, knowing how to do something has nothing to do with age; there are people over the new who could teach you just fine 😅
were you held back 10-20 years or so? The oldest 5th grader ever?
I'm trying to figure out how a 70+ year old was playing Karateka in school.
Well, if you download software like qBittorrent be sure to not accidentally download and torrents to copyrighted content.
Or use a VPN while you do it.
