You were a desktop computer?
That's pretty neat. Last edited by Calderyon; 19-07-2020 at 11:34 PM. |

Windows XP desktop complete with the anthemic David Byrne’s “Like Humans Do” pre-installed on Windows Media Player. Them were the days!

Jeez I don't know, we had a big humpy green screen thing at some point. I remember in later years when i was a teenager when the internet was becoming a thing but it wasn't even worth the effort waiting for the dial up and it was so slow plus there wasn't much to look up anyway

Posted these on the "childhood games" thread a few days back, but here they are again anyway
First computer was a Commodore Amiga that just plugged into a little portable telly. It didn't even have a hard drive, everything ran off floppy disks My first "regular" PC was this beaut, a Compaq 486/66 all-in-one unit. It came running Windows 3.1, we upgraded to Windows 95 not long after. And of course, wonderful MS-DOS. 300mb hard drive, 4mb RAM (I later upgraded to a staggering 16mb)... What a dream machine . |

I did have an ancient (late 70's) digital "space invaders" handheld when I was a kid, that I bought at a garage sale for Ł2. It would be worth over Ł100 today. God knows what happened to it .

How could I forget that we also had THIS piece of archaeology
An Amstrad CPC 464. Games came on cassette tapes! You could copy them using a dual-cassette HiFi Again we never had a "proper" monitor for it - it just tuned into a normal CRT telly. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 21-07-2020 at 02:58 PM. |

What actually really blows my mind is that we went from the Amstrad to the early 3D games era (N64/Playstation) in under 10 years.
Whereas now... This (Mass Effect 1) was 13 years ago. |
