I may as well join in this resurrected thread. I haven't been around the forum for some years but spotted GatEB out in the wild and came to see what the fuss was. Anyways, I'm 62 next month, still playing DROD regularly and have the original Webfoot on the go again. It has been moved from computer to computer over the years, and the following is from the original install.log
*** Installation Started 4/23/97 22:05 ***
Title: DROD Installation
Source: C:\BINARIES\DRODRE~1.EXE
at that point it wasn't possible to complete DROD without a patch which I installed on
*** Installation Started 5/9/97 11:01 ***
Title: DROD Installation
Source: C:\DOWNLOAD\DRODPATC.EXE
So, while I am not the oldest player, I might just be the longest, oldest, continuous, player. IYSWIM.
Seeing as I had to retire, I am now waiting for my pocket money from the wife so I can buy GatEB.
