J3FF3R00 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Ours was this sexy beast. The Atari 800xl. We mostly just played games with it. I think we also may have had an external floppy drive for it. It lasted until I punched the keyboard for "cheating" in a video game. Prior to this, we had a Pong game, but I'm not really counting that as a computer.

Guest disparaissant Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 my dad's work computer that he would bring home all the time and let me play with. then he got a raise and a new position and they comped him a new computer and he got this: only ours was 486dx2 66mhz, 12mb ram, 2mb ATI 3d video card. it was a beast, but it had no cdrom and no soundcard and no modem. so it was years before i finally found out what descent and x-wing SOUNDED like.

Guest Gary C Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Ah, Lemmings. I was quite partial to Zool. My dad was friends with someone who worked for Amiga magazine, or something like that, so we had a filing cabinet full of demo disks. Loved Cannon Fodder and Settlers too. Edit: I even wrote and drew my own Iron Man comic on that thing too. Man, if I could get it back to have a look through all the files... Alas.

murve33 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Agh, I don't know what it was called. It was a word processor that ran off of hard disks. I used a spread sheet making program like a vectory ms-paint, and there was also a disk that had tetris on it. I'm pretty sure that version of Tetris was the first video game I ever played.

J3FF3R00 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Ah, Lemmings. I was quite partial to Zool. My dad was friends with someone who worked for Amiga magazine, or something like that, so we had a filing cabinet full of demo disks. I think I may have been playing Lemmings when I punched the keyboard and broke my 800xl. My big brother had a subscription to Antic magazine and would get floppys in the mail loaded with crappy games and midi files that we thought were amazing. I remember we had a midi file of "Don't Bring Me Down" by ELO. We thought that shit was so hi-tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
