I don't post much and hide in the shadows. If you know what my avatar is from without a reverse image lookup you might be an old geek
It wasn't an old PC game was it? Like MS/DOS old? It's bugging me now hahahaha

Thanks @freitasm. I must've played in on the Amiga 500. Must dig out old Amiga 500 and disks now to see if I still have it hahaha

Speaking of Amigas, in case this is of any interest, an FPGA-assisted A3000-alike.
From my initials - DB (or rather it should be dB )
My initials gave me my first username on the Cambridge University 370/165.
My director of studies was openly envious of people with 4 initials. He was RJS1.
What more could I ask?
I bought a book about Linux ("Linux Installation and Getting Started "), by Matt Welsh, at Quay Computers on Lambton Quay. About 1993. It included a CD with Linux kernel v0.99. I installed it on my 386DX-40 (with 16MB of RAM) and Trident i9000 SVGA card....the only one at that time with good Linux support for SVGA.
It was a revelation. It took me about 4 hours to recompile the kernel to get the SVGA drivers built into it. This was awesome.
I became "Linuxluver".
Now, with Android on most of my personal devices......I have linux everywhere. Even my SONY TV.
