Modding on the Spectrum

Scythe Bearer. A moniker I picked up in Vietnam carrying the M-60 Machine Gun. Long story, best left to the history books.

I am old, tired and retired. I now spend all my time gaming and making mods for Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Oblivion, and Skyrim. Why? It keeps the little grey cells lubricated, and keeps my ... ah ... backside ... yeah, backside ... out of my wife's way.

I have been gaming for well over half a century. I made my first mod on an IBM 370 Mainframe in 1978. The game, Colossal Cave Adventure.

Further this respondent sayeth not.

Hello, ScytheBearer! Welcome to the Spectrum

It's good to see a fellow mod author. I tinkered with the games you have listed as well. Do you have a favorite one? Regarding the possibilities to make mods, I prefer Skyrim, but if you ask me what game is my home, then it's Oblivion because I have the most fond memories of playing it.

My favorite game isn't in that list. My first love was Colossal Cave Adventure, and that game will always be my favorite.

If I have to pick one from the list, I'll have to say Fallout 3. The Fallout series of games lets me play in a style I feel more comfortable with and since I spent time in DC, Fallout 3 feels like going home.

My first love was Pokémon Red version on the Game Boy Pocket. I poured so many hours into this game that I lost count. I want to play this game again out of nostalgia. Now that I mention this, where is my Game Boy? I remember that my mother was the last one who used it and this was years ago. I just called her to ask her about it but she doesn't remember anymore where she put it. The next time I visit her, I will look for it. Should I find the device, please cross your fingers that it still works after all those years.
