Astral does a far better job of actually displaying the profile info of accounts and pretty much all events. The other clients, while quicker to load, often don't show the profile info or are missing events. Personally the only thing I'd like Astral to include is likes.

Astral isn't the best performing client for sure, but it's got the best feature set of the web based clients with the fewest issues. The really fast ones often fail to load profile data, are missing event data, etc. It's a trade off: better performance or fuller data set.

He tried Astral but it was far too slow on his phone. Snort is lacking in terms of functionality and has a lot of quirky issues. Native apps provide far better performance as well.

I do the same thing lol. It's fun to zip across the screen at impossible speeds. I first played it on my 486. My 286 was a CGA monitor and while Hero's Quest supported CGA the machine was too slow to play it well.

Tell me how old you are by naming the first game system you ever had. Mine was the Atari 2600. 

Yaaaas! Edit.com! I'd forgotten that it was the same basic editor QBasic used. My first language was GW-BASIC. QBasic was my 2nd. Then QuickBasic and some Assembly language, then PDS, then Visual Basic, then Visual Fortran, then FoxPro, VBS, PHP, JavaScript, Icon, Python, Xojo and so many more.

I'm a software dev but not a hacker, so if the ROM isn't already available elsewhere I wouldn't know how to crack it.

Dwarf Fortress is one of the most impressive games I've ever seen in terms of its ability to randomly generate incredibly complex worlds.

It's still fun to play, which just goes to show you that it's not about the graphics, it's about the gameplay. Just like with movies -- it's not about CGI, it's about story. Too many companies seem to have forgotten this.

Close enough! Full name is Hero's Quest: Quest For Glory. Send me an invoice.

🙏 Lots of work to do. Will be spending most of tomorrow coding on it.
