View Full Version : [OT - coz im bored] quick question for ya
What was your first ever that you can remember, computer.
Mine was i think a Intellivision, kinda a console thing, cartridge idea, with disc controllers and buttons like a telephone on the front, had a kick ass driving game, and the footy game was litterally "bong, bong" around the edges :lol:
After that i had a commador 64, spectrum 48 ZX, tehn my old Amiga 500 and then my first PC was a 386sx, it had a turbo button to go from 25mhz to 33mhz, i was impressed :cool:
Whats your first computer then?
Spectrum ZX80 128k thingy.
Batman The Movie was the game I first played on it.
Q is up, S is down, L is right, K is left. Space shoots thingy's and Space+Direction shoots your bat cord thingy. Yep, I still remember the keys.
I completed the game too, and it wasn't easy.
Oh, and Atari > Amiga.
Nuff said.
that was a cool game, driving the bat mobile was great fun, using the hook on the posts to get around corners, i remember completing it too, killing the joker at the end before he got away in his heli :p
Classic.
The old Atari wooden effect with the plastic joystick red button and a Pac man game..where my addiction began! ;)

Apple 2... this owl game at school where you had to put these letters into a word or soemthing to win...
It was teh bomb
Oh wait, the first game I played was Grannys Garden on the BBC @ my Primary School. ^^ :p
Anyone remember a game called Decathlon? was it Daily Thompsons? and like the old joysticks used for the game you had to wiggle at high speed left to right to run, what a killer on the hand lol

Hmm. I wonder why they don't make games like that anymore. :p
Haha, they where so bad! :lol:
I had a "space" version. That was the bomb. Can't remember the name though. :D
Well lets see.. I'm old enough to remember the classic "pong" game - it had pong - that was it. Never had an Atari 2600 although my uncle did.. my first real computer was a ZX81, followed by a Mattel Aquarius, then I think a Vic20, Acorn Electron, Amiga A500, Amiga 1500, Amiga A1200 (which I still have). While I had the A1200 got into PC's, starting with an Olivetti PCS286S (still got it in a loft somewhere) then built a 486SX25, a 486DX4-100, then the first Pentium was a P133 (still got it). Around this time I aquired about 5 ZX spectrums, and two BBC Micro Model B's, a chassis of a BBC Master Compact (remember those?) and two old IBM XT's. I also found an old Commodore Plus 4 After that was a PIII 450 (now my network firewall / file server) and the P4 1.9GHz which is my main PC for NC :). I also use an Apple PowerBook (Alu) G4, and just ordered a dual 2.5GHz PowerMac G5. Oh yes - I also have an old Solaris SPARC box somewhere, along with a Psion 5MX organizer and a Toshiba PocketPC. Had several Palms but sold them on.l
At work I have around 40 servers, ~1600+Windows machines along with ~200 Macs.
Obsessed me? Nah.
Any bad boys remember the Bitmap Brothers?
[/EDIT] Oh wait. Not them, they made The Chaos Engine.
What was the name of that Oldschool bunch of pirates?

IBM XT 4,66 Mhz with a CGA 4 color gc ^.^
Blimey - I remember when my primary school got "The Computer" - a BBC B - I was allowed to "see" it unpacked on the Headmistress's desk (not plugged in) as I was er.. "interested" in computers.
Good grief I feel old.
ZX Spectrum +
then atari 800xl (5.25 floppy!), atari ST, atari STE, then some archaic PCs (286-386-486-pentium, pentium 2 and so on)
All I remember was my first computer being 24 mhz I think.
Old games? Wacky Wheels, Mist, Terminal Velocity, Duke Nukem 1&2, Doom 1&2, and some more....

I'm not like pong old school but I played the first good games a lot lol.
well, my first game (except pong, that is) was probably Montezuma's Revenge (dont remember exactly, it was looong time ago, like 15 years omg...) on my first zx spectrum...
Awesome game... Anyone remembers it?
my first PC was a 386sx, it had a turbo button to go from 25mhz to 33mhz, i was impressed :cool:
Whats your first computer then?
Lol I remember the turbo button, what was the point of it really? "Hmmm, today I think I will take slow, let the computer work easy today as well, jupp you and me ol' pal, just chillin yepp yepp yepp".
pc wise
it was a 60 mb intel something or other really crap and stuck in dos :p
its my old family computer they let me have ;)
speccy ZX was my first, was my dads until i got hold of it.
used to play games like sabrewulf nightlore, jet set willy, manic minor
then got Kick off when that came out and spent many a happy hour playing that
Sigh...
ZX Spectrum with garfield on cassette :( pwn
amstrad 1512, phear my twin 5 1/4 floppy drives and momchrome monitor
my very first computer was the Sinclair zx81... eventually I purchased the 16k expansion... Next one was the timex-sinclair 2068 (every time I got more than 150 lines of code in it would crash... exchanged the first one for another and it did the same thing)... after that a vic-20.... then a commodore 64 (killer graphics for the time especially compared to the ibm graphics of that era)... after a burglary used the insurance to buy my first ibm (4 mhz but with a turbo mode {7mhz I think}
first game.... can't remember the name any more... something like wizards isle (for the zx81)....
bitmap brothers I do indeed remember... anyone remeber Phreakers fortress, afterburner or mr dews castle (old bbs's of dubious nature that provided me with much of my old commodore softs)?

The first one I owned, was the ole amstrad CPC 464, then it was the Amiga after that.
Amiga > Atari
(Actually, I liked them both, but seeing as I owned an Amiga and never an Atari, I have to stand on my side of the fence for that old war :D )
PC DRAGON was its name i think
very old
Could it be a Dragon 32?
Actually I just remembered I also own a Speccy+ with Interface 1 and microdrive! Boxed, and it still works.
Don't you mean Nintendo Game And Watch?
Yes! I stand corrected - just looked it up - I had this exact model. Still have it somewhere I'm sure.
