TIL about the EFCA fraud case that shaped whistleblowing and computerized fraud on a large scale. Read about it in the Hacker book I showed earlier.

Saturday morning disk copying session!
A friend asked for some C64 disks. Nothing easier than that!

For today’s session of Bureaucracy we had to swap C64s. This gentle old breadbin would crash all the time when the REU was plugged in. My guess is a dirty cartridge port. We switched to a C64C and could play just fine.
This machine here was extremely destroyed.
The repair was documented in this video:

How often do you start over with maps for #interactivefiction games? This is my second attempt for Bureaucracy…

Did you know that there were #infocom novels published, matching the games?
