RoyBatty

I do not have any of the items and I have never heard about "BB Micro" and "Archimedes"... My first CPU was 386SX

DudeBoyz

Geesh, Zardon - that's an ugly avatar change... Woah!

Arghhh another one of these polls. They don't work LOL. You can't give people a multiple choice answer with only one option. Add a combination of the above option big Z.
I have in my parents loft an Atari ST, Amiga, Spectrum, Atari2600, Prinztronic, Nes, Snes, Gameboy original, Gameboy Colour, Gamegear, Xbox, PS2. Or rather I did last time I checked. My father is prone to what he calls Feng shui, not in the classical sense but rather piling loads of junk in his car and taking it to the skip. Silly sod threw out my Army reserve uniform I just hope I don't have to go to war to soon.

God how I miss the ZX Spectrum just for the memories it brings up. Sitting for days at a time as a kid with my dad typing out a billion lines of code from the back of a magazine just to get a simple line-art pub darts game, anyone else remember it? I seem to remember a dog strolling into the bar and widdling. Bizarre. Ahhhh good times, good times. World was a lot less complicated then.


The Atari ST has stirred up some memories of Turrican, Altered beast, Rainbow islands and Cannon Fodder. Oh and also who remembers ST Format the magazine that used to come with a cover disk, how on earth did they ever fit stuff on them.

Nice thread thanks for the chance to relive a little of my childhood in my head.

She looks like an actress in a film set in Ireland, can't remember the name of her or the film but she was kinda cute. It was a low budget film and was about a man who killed his girlfriend by accident, it got a bit twisted after that. She's a stage actress too. Please confirm Zardon.

DudeBoyz

ok - she's "kinda cute" - for a bloody faced horror show freak.

WOAH!

Just a bad image - you have warped my fragile little mind...

I HAD the atari st (waaaay back in 1987ish)...I still remember the day my bro dropped it accidentally and it busted into a thousand pieces; I cried for days :tear:

Al_Vampyre

Still got my Speccy, and my ZX81!

LeanWolf

still have? nope, I'm good at getting rid of old stuff. I like a clutter-free lifestyle

Rayder

I have a C64 emu on my PC. Does that count?

drivehard454

How about the old texas instruments. I remember buying books full of programs that would take hours to type in and then you could run a color line around the screen or make a tune of your own and stuff. You could buy tapes that sounded like a fax machine and it would hook up to the computer and you could play more"high tech" games. Later they came out with cartridges that slide into the side of the keyboard.

Lowfat

agreed.


anyways i am too young for all those.

e!i

My ZX spectrum 48K is sitting proudly upon my wall. Loved that computer.

I still have an Amiga 500 somewhere in my parents' house. The older computers I threw away. I even sold my ZX80 manual a couple of years ago on eBay (fetched 6.5 British Pounds, IIRC).

5*General

Where is the "All of the above" choice?

Lelisevis

It ran off with my 'Some of the above' option and is now located in a trailerpark with loads of baby 'non of the above, im on a public library computer'.

jjfriedberg

when i was young, my dad wouldnt let me get any of those, not even if it was won in a competition, so i never got to experience it

Dukester

I selected C64 whichI ran a BBS off. BUT actually my first computer was the 1st mircro computer made for the home consume. I owned a TRS-90 Model 1 16 k keybiard that cost $700.00 from Radio Shack. Yes I'm 40 and owned it when I was about 11 or 12. It used a tape drive and if the volume wasn't just right it wouldn't load the program. It also used 5 1/4 big floppys and a black and white monitor. The whole setup cost about $4000.00 with the dot matrix printer, 1200 baud modem, expansion bay. I guess I'm a pioneer when it comes to PC's BIG gamer too.
