Es muy interesante jugar esto y darte cuenta de que las nociones de esperar, anticipar y esperar resultados en videojuegos se estaban codificando en una computadora de algún campus de Estados Unidos. La versión que jugué procedía del Apple I y era muy difícil de pasar, principalmente porque los números subían y bajaban de forma bastante aleatoria. Pero me obsesioné tanto por conseguir la cantidad correcta de cultivos que acabé poniéndome nervioso tratando de impedir ningún gasto innecesario. Que un programa tan antiguo me pusiera ansioso dice algo sobre el poder que tiene esta cosilla.

It's very interesting playing this and realizing that notions of waiting, anticipating and expecting things in-game were being codified in a giant computer on some USAn campus somewhere. The version I played came from the Apple I and it was very difficult to beat, mainly because numbers seemed to go up or down based on pure randomness. But I got so invested in getting the right amount of crops for each turn that I became nervous of any expenditure I made within the game. That a game this old made me anxious says something about the power of this little thing.
