Submission + - Tale of the Teletank: The Brief Rise and Long fall of Russiaâ(TM)s Military (popsci.com)
malachiorion writes: From Popular Science: "Seventy-four years ago, Russia accomplished what no country had before, or has sinceâ"it sent armed ground robots into battle. These remote-controlled Teletanks took the field during one of WWIIâ(TM)s earliest and most obscure clashes, as Soviet forces pushed into Eastern Finland for roughly three and a half months, from 1939 to 1940." The workings of those Teletanks were cool, though they were useless against Germany, and Russia proceeded to fall behind the developed world in military robotics.
Submission + - Ask Slashdot: What's new in legacy languages?
liquiddark writes: I was listening to a younger coworker talk to someone the other day about legacy technologies, and he mentioned .NET as a specific example. It got me thinking — what technologies are passing from the upstart and/or mainstream phases into the world of legacy technology? What tech are you working with now that you hope to retire in the next few years? What will you replace it with?

Greetings,
I recall playing a version of the "Asylum" adventure game on a TRS-80 Model III compatible computer, with its blocky graphics. I was very amused when I discovered the piano-falling-on-head quirk.
I never got past the part in the labyrinth with the mirror, apparently only the second phase of the game (a friend later told me how, but by then I did not have that computer anymore).
A Google search turned up references to the C64 version of the game, which apparently had a version with superior graphics, e.g., [1] and [2].
