rofl

Around a 1/4 of my life!!!

now i feel old

Old eh? The first game I played, on my first computer (which had a 25 MHz 8088 chip, 16 bits of memeory,no monitor, mouse, or keyboard, you'd hook it into you TV, a Tandy Radio Shack TSR80) was a Pong deriviative, and Space Invaders was another fav. Crap, when Wolfenstien came out and I had a smokin' hot 66 MHZ Pentium and a 35 megabyte HDD, 8 megs of RAM and a vid card with 8 megs of onboard RAM, I was walking through tall cotton...

Oh, and the game type I miss the most? Game that have 3 axis of freedom, like the Desent series. I had several force feed- back joysticks and just loved those games. The last vestiage of this type are the piloting games, which unfortuatly, leave me cold.
Magicky

When Wolfy first came out, Pentiums were still a glint in Intel's eye, I had a 486 sx25 at the time, and that cost a fortune

My next door neighboughr had one of the first IBM desktops into the country. If i remember correctly it was 2Mhz lol. Shit we used to play games on that as soon as pc gaming really started i suppose.

this is turning into a monty poython scatch!!

My first pentium wasa 60mhz,8mb ram and a 2mb 2d card, before that we had a amstrad 486 the only games we had were ally cats and lesure suit larry.

right.... (hehe)

My 1st PC was an Olivetti 286, only had a few games, the one I remember was some semi 3D but all vector Helicopter game.

Before that I'd only had zx80/81, spectrums, Ti99-4a, c64, and an Amiga or 3.

Parsec on the Texas Ti-99 4A was awesome for it's day, now that IS old skool.

My first PC was a 486 DX (went Acorn Electron>c64>amiga> pc) My first console was an Xbox 360....

Some classic games up there, Chucky Egg, Rtype, (and XOut, that had cool music if I recall), IK+, Stunt Car Racer were all ace at the time.

Funny thread, but he did ask "on the PC?",

Yea, i dont care about all of your oldest PCs and consoles ect. ect., i just wanna no wot retro games i sud think of buying coz jeez they bring back memories!
