mkreku Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Oh, I just remembered! I also had one of these: Amazing little machine! Read more: http://www.nvg.ntnu.no/sinclair/computers/...um/spec1648.htm The game that is depicted further down was actually the first computer game I ever owned: Jet Pac! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Pidesco Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 I had one of those too! 1983 is really far away now... Jet Pac was great, although my first game was Jumping Jack.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Grimlock. A funky console that had 600+ versions of several NES games (ie, Rockman, Rockman with extra lives, Rockman with infinite continues, etc.). Electric-powered racing tracks. My ZX Sinclair Spectrum 128k. Jumping Jack, Pacmania, The Last Ninja 3, Double Dragon... Fighting Fantasy books. Girls. A Sega Genesis with the 32X addon. Virtua Racing, Doom. A Super Nintendo. A PSX. A PC with emulators and hundreds of roms. Some D&D. Girls.
Diogo Ribeiro Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Oh, and some Ninja Turtles. Donatello. Michaelangelo (even a mug with his, uh, mug). Some weird Foot Soldier contraption I got after seeing it on the comic books, a kind of spider with punching gloves at the ends... Knucklespider or something?

Diogo Ribeiro Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I usually find them roaming the countryside. Some love and tenderness usually gets me some, but rohypnol ocasionally works just as well.
Arkan Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Boglins. Lincoln Logs. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Amentep Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I also had a number of Megos But without a doubt my favorite toys were The Micronauts Wow I never heard of those. thanks for the links In a pointless bit of trivia, The Micronauts line was based on Japan's Microman line which in turn ended up being a predecessor to the changing toy line that became The Transformers in the US. Mego was a huge company in the 70s, but not getting the Star Wars toys killed them in the late 70s. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Laozi Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Dinoriders? People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
Draken Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Galaga. Always. Seriously, only like, three people can touch my body
Oerwinde Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) Also, the best toys out right now: Transformers Classics Wave 1 Transformers Classics Wave 2 (Ignore the "legends" in wave 2. They're just leftover minicons from the Cybertron line they repainted into G1 homages and released under the classics line to bulk up the line. Edited January 11, 2007 by Oerwinde The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I had one of these.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amstrad_CPC "I'm a programmer at a games company... REET GOOD!" - Me
Gfted1 Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Ah I had a Stretch Armstrong. He liquified in his styrofoam container. Sadly, my Stretch Armstrong succumbed to childhood curiosity and a steak knife. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Walsingham Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I had a ZX 128k. I headbutted it to death in a fit of pique when it crashed during Operation Wolf. Who says games make you violent?

Pidesco Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I had one of these.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amstrad_CPC Once upon a time there were the kids with Spectrums, and the kids with C64's, who fought among themselves over who had the best system. And then there were the kids with Amstrads who were looked on with disdain by everyone else. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans.

I've already bought all of Wave 1 I just want Grimlock. He was my favorite transformer when I was a kid. I still laugh hysterically at his antics in the Transformers movie. :D

metadigital Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmmm, level 23, is that? (I know it says "level one", but it ain't the first level of the proper game.) OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Pop Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 When I was a kid I had a computer and I had a Sega Genesis. Nintendo never appealed to me. My favourite toys were - Commander Keen - Raptor - Biomenace - Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure (!) - Rise of the Triad And other assorted Apogee games. They're all dead / freeware games now, ahem. On the Genesis, I had: - Toejam & Earl - Soldiers of Fortune - Desert Strike - Streets of Rage 2 (!) Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
