Title: Your first computer Post by: faringdingdong on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 08:25:08 What was it, either owned by you or the first one you ever used at school etc?
I had a Commodore +4 at home and them shitty BBC thingys at school. Those were indeed the days. :old Title: Your first computer Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 08:49:57 Used to have a commodore 64. Tape games >>>> *.
Oh Mummie Animal, vegtable or mineral paperboy thats the 3 game I remember. 50% of the time I would buy tapes and they didnt work. We didnt mind though, they are only £2 a game. Title: Your first computer Post by: faringdingdong on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 09:19:28 Paperboy was awesome but i completed that outrun car game, was chuffed as can be! :box
Title: Your first computer Post by: Boeta on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 09:26:46 A BBC thing I think. Then a Commodore 64.
Title: Your first computer Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 10:36:17 My first machine was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum....which I've still got in perfect working order.
The adventure games for it, like the Hobbit, were ace, it was so exciting when you found a bit that had graphics as well as just text.

What a classic! Title: Your first computer Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 11:33:23 Sadly I upgraded the rubber button job for a hard shell......you posted the old one off to Sinclair and they posted back the upgrade.
Shame...do people collect them now? Title: Your first computer Post by: Rossi on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 11:34:12 An Amiga 1200 8)
I used to have loads of copied games for it on the old floppy discs. I think I had one game that had 7 discs :D Title: Your first computer Post by: Titch on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 11:47:50 I think i had all of these at some stage! Plus i remember having an Amstad CPC464!! Ah the memories!! :D

Shame...do people collect them now? Probably...they were classics. You used to have to have an external tape player, and those lines/noise while loading used to drive you insane!! Dizzy was a classic.... Title: Your first computer Post by: Dazzza on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 13:34:38 Think I still have a Spectrum 16k, 48k and 128k floating around the parents house somewhere.
Gauntlet, Kickstart and Dizzy where all favourites. Title: Your first computer Post by: DMR on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 14:42:55 No idea
Title: Your first computer Post by: faringdingdong on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 14:59:13 Quote from: "dave_m_russell" No idea cheers for that then. :wall Title: Your first computer Post by: STFCDude on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 15:00:31 My first machine was an Atari 2600, was so over the moon when I got it for christmas once! Then I upgraded to a Spectrum 48k, and I must say Dizzy series is still one of the best I have ever played. I then followed that up with a Commodore 64, and it felt as though I was in computer heaven, being able to program basic without running out of memory! After that, I had to have the cream of the crop, an Amiga. Oh the joys of playing Championship Manager with about an hours wait inbetween seasons etc...Then finally came the realm of the PC, and I haven't looked back!
Title: Your first computer Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 15:03:10 I had an Amiga 500 fucking safe as fuck.

Title: Your first computer Post by: ron dodgers on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 15:31:32 oh no - I must be older than Smeeton - I had a Sinclair ZX81 - can't remember whether it was 4k or 16k memory? ( my memories not that good any more)

The adventure games for it, like the Hobbit, were ace, it was so exciting when you found a bit that had graphics as well as just text. I still have one with over 100 games for it. Nifty Lifty was one of my better games. Title: Your first computer Post by: sonicyouth on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 18:02:14 SNES was my first console, my first PC was a P133mhz, 32mb ram and no intarweb(!)
Title: Your first computer Post by: yeo on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, 23:10:41 I had a plus 4 as well ,they were the poor mans pikey equivalent of the 64 i think.There were no games though I seem to remember enjoying Manic Miner.
Title: Your first computer Post by: janaage on Thursday, March 24, 2005, 14:34:50 I can't believe I missed this thread, cheers to Reg for pointing it out. I have no idea what my first computer was. All I can remember is it was a massive beigey machine, which you could only play hangman and other such games on. Then we went down the plus4, 64, amiga, pc route. Every upgrade was amazing. Emilyn Hughes on C64 & Platoon on the Amiga 500 were particular highlights.
Title: Your first computer Post by: Piemonte on Thursday, March 24, 2005, 14:39:25 Eymlyn Hughes on the C64! classic!!! :mrgreen: :beers
Title: Your first computer Post by: janaage on Thursday, March 24, 2005, 14:41:32 You could edit the names, change the team colours, arrange you're own leagues, cups and tournaments, I loved that game!
Title: Your first computer Post by: Piemonte on Thursday, March 24, 2005, 14:42:41 Me too, me & my mate spent literally days playing it.

Manic Miner & Jet Set Willy where superb. Daily Thompsons Decathlon was a classic as well. I used to love going up against Gus on the tug o' War.
