JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted April 5, 2011 Ahhh the good old days. My first was a zx81 then a zx spectrum , next leap up was a amstrad 6128 followed by an amiga 500. Finally moved into 286 that cost me about $1500 i think back then. Now days its just a lappy on the coffee table. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 We had ZX81's at Intermediate school. Beat that. I built my first computer from a kit - the Sinclair ZX80, bright blue keyboard and all. Missed out the ZX81 and went up to the Spectrum - which lasted me until my final year in Uni - ended up with full sized keyboard, microdrives and running a fan-fold printer off it for word processing !Lots of PC emulators around for the old machines to enable you to run the old classics - Jet Pac, Manic Miner, Jet-Set willy, Pac Man, Defender, etc. This is a nice touch to give the old skool feel to it as well.

westy 614 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 Ha. You win. I always thought it strange that we had comps at Intermediate but, by the time we got to College, they'd all disappeared. Girls were more interesting by that time anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wom 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 We had an Atari 2600 then an Amstrad then thank god for the Amiga 500 yea we started off with an Atari 2600, then onto the master system, mega drive after that we got our first pc, an intel sx25 with a whopping 4meg of ram and a 171meg hard-drive - it could only just run Doom and I could only have 2 games installed at the same time coz of the little hdd; I have fond memories of playing Jazz Jack Rabbit, Doom and Master of Orion on that pc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pjay 8 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 I recently downloaded all of Commander Keen and a Dos emulator - Not the oldest, but one of the coolest. Earliest game I remember playing was Colossal Caves on a Mac Doorstop. Sega Mastersystem/Megadrive were my era. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
