Where's the Atari 2600?

 

 

The other day I realised that was my first console. It made me feel older than dust from a Summerian tomb.

I remember that old thing. I still have it to.

Played it on the GC. Wouldnt happen to know of any significant differences would you ?

 

Definately qualifies as fantastic anyway.

Well, there's supposed to be a 5 hour storyline where you get to play as Ada, the girl in the red dress. I am sure you remember her.. and her cleavage.. and long legs..

 

Also, new weapons, new costumes for the main characters and some other stuff. Nothing worth paying an extra $50 for. Unless you're made of money or you're Darque.

My first computer was an Apple //e. I don't have it anymore, as it got all melty when the house burned down.

 

It wasn't that old, but it made me feel really old when I saw it in an exhibit of antique electronics from out of the Silicon Valley at the California State Fair. :huh:

My first computer was a ZX Spectrum 16k, which was later upgraded to a ZX Spectrum 48k. They looked and felt like overgrown calculators. Rubber keys for teh win!!

I think my first computer to my memory was a 2.86... but then my parents also owned a computer shop around the time I was born.

Old computers? First one I owned is a 200Mhz Pentium. Still have it and it works. Only used for back up purposes.

I don't mean to make all your musings seem inconsequential, but I shall, anyway. :mellow:" My university had the second worldwide computer installation: it used punch cards for I/O!

 

My first computer (that I used) was a Challenger IP, which had 1kB of RAM (the expanded model had a massive 4kB): I wrote a scorching top-scrolling game I called Lazer Zap for it (a friend of mine tried to write Donkey Kong, but he ran out of memory even though he was writing it in Assembly); good old audio tapes for backup ... my first computer was a bright, shiny, new Apple //e (64kB of RAM, including the whizzy 16kB language card) on which I played a ported version of the earliest Star Trek text-for-graphics game (warping around a grid of sixteen galactic coordinates and impulsing around the squares to kill Klingons and pillage planets) ...

Limited to ten choices, so I chose ten of the more recent systems.

Allow me to repost something I said earlier. I would have included more systems, but the polls are limited to ten choices.

(1)wow, were you even born when that came out? (2) thx for noticing it anyway... at least somebody did :(

1. Somehow I doubt it. What was it, -84-85?

 

2. Not many remember it. It was one of my first games.

It had more to do with the lack of cash, but I appreciate your attempt at humor.

I owned a BBC microcomputer. I still miss it occasionally. It was a nice shape and had the best keyboard I've ever used, though perhaps those role-tinted glasses are involved here.

 

I own a PC, and would find it difficult to switch to console, because there are so few adventure games these days, the PC is the only platform on which you can play nearly all of them.
