Stoner/Doom Bassists 53: Loud Noises

Y'all are bringing up some serious memories, King's Quest, Space Quest, etc just nuts. Those games required almost zero "ability" just be able to think.
Anybody do the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy type, you know the ones you typed? Drug wars, anybody?
 
how do install them on a Wii?
I've got one and didn't know you could "install"games.

Gotta hack it! It's actually pretty easy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_homebrew

Easiest version is Letterbomb: http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/Letterbomb

Then there's an app for point and click games called ScummVM.

There's a good list here!

I remember some of the earlier Space Quest and King's Quest games had a command line. It wasn't until later they integrated the mouse.
 
@Ron:

What GK head do you use? Why do you like it?

Well I've owned an 800rb (maybe 2 I can't remember) a 700rb, 1001rb, MB500, and a few combos over the years.

I currently own a 1x15 combo from the 80's.

I like them because they can get a real pleasing "grind" to the tone (the boost knob is key for this). Also they're simple to dial in a good tone with and reliable.

I really dig the 800rb's they are just cool amps, If I had a use for one, I'd probably pick up another, but between the Orange and Sunn I don't really need another amp...unless it's a tube amp....maybe.
 
I am a huge fan of the old 80s and 90s point and click adventure games. I have a bunch of them installed on my Wii. Sierra and Lucas Arts were the kings.

I used to play all the old Sierra and Lucas Arts games on PC growing up. Some of the early Sierra games and text RPG games on an Apple IIE that we got from a family friend, after helping them move, when they got a fancy new Mac with a hard drive.
