Do you still own any of the following?

tanka12345 · Dec 21, 2008, 12:34 AM

The thing I don't get is how am I supposed to own one if I don't even know what half of them are!

Partizan · Dec 21, 2008, 06:32 AM

My ZX Spectrum is still alive and kicking

BlueMak · Dec 21, 2008, 07:21 AM

I don't own any of them any more, but I plan to buy all of them (and more, like CPC464+6128 etc) when I know I have a steady place to live and work. Hard to collect them when you move every couple of years.

Hey, I like to dream!

My Amiga is still working!

My Spectrum died as well as my CBM64. Oh God, i would certainly like to play all my oldie Spectrum games!

Something else??!!?? Well, i found my old MegaCD

and i still keep some Nintendo handheld games, game&watch, remember those???

Golden days, those were

However, no gta4 back then, hehe

I used to play Alex The Kid In Miracle World on my old Sega, but I haven't seen that in years. I downloaded an emulator with it included and it brought back some memories.

I use it most often and play Donkey kong,Ms. Pacman,etc

No, but I still have some copies of the oldest Wing Commander games.

I still have the original Wing Commander in a double pack with Ultima 4 or 6 (I cant remember which)

used to play WC1 every day when I was a kid, yet i could never finish the first level

I have had a lot of the stuff on the poll but unfortunately I cleaned house about 10 years ago when I sold my house. Maybe I should have held onto some of it ..... I gave most of it to younger cousins, etc.

I finished every game right up to the very end, incl. alternate endings in WC3 (picking either GF).

**dj_stick** · Mar 22, 2009, 05:58 AM

i think i might dig up WC1 and give it another whirl

Liqourice · Mar 22, 2009, 07:55 AM

Needed a multiple choise as well.

Got my old C64 still as well as both my Amigas. The 64 and the A500 is in the basement but my 17yo Amiga 4000 is still running up here and I play around with it, maybe not daily but once a week at least.

Got my C64 just a few weeks after it was released here in Sweden. Those were the days!

We were cleaning out the back at my work and found a commodore that actually ran a piece of heavy equipment. Someone also found a spectrum back there in a box.

~~RE III - Frankie~~ · Jul 8, 2009, 04:45 AM

I was THE BEST at getting the battleship in Space Invaders (although it wasn't called that) on my older sister's old Atari with the weird long prodded handle joypan-sticks things. I believe she still ports that.

Sic Puppy · Jul 16, 2009, 07:53 PM

Still own a Spectrum ZX and Amiga (I voted Spectrum) in my folks loft/attic. Got a box of tapes and disks for them too somewhere. Don't think I have a tape player for the Spectrum though

Davva Mak · Jul 17, 2009, 08:28 PM

i still have my amiga 500 in the loft with a few boxes of disks and the cdrom attachment.
i recently bought an old rubber key speccy with the intention of mounting it on my wall as my first computer (we had a zx81 but that was my dads) so i wasn't bothered if it worked or not but it did perfectly. i then found a website that had a program for speeding the speccy games up about 5x faster while loading. i found some mp3's of some games and connected the speaker out of my pc to the ear in on the speccy. loading times were stupid fast. the speccy can cope with the speed, it was the old cassette's that couldn't which was the reason for the slow speed.

If you own any computer hardware that old I think you must have waaaay too much junk in your house. I hold onto PC's for a few years in case I need spare parts but once they are no use it's just taking up space.
