BF2S Forums When did you get your first Computer?

12.. yup I worked all summer for 5 bucks an hour at my grandparents and wasted 1800 bucks on it, not having a clue what I was buying. I could of done so much better for that amount of money but, what can you do it was 4 years ago.

1993 Macintosh LC 4/80 = 4 Meg RAM, 80 Meg HD.
Which in those days was more than enough to run Word, Excel etc.

I don't remember when, but it had windows 3.0...

C64 in -84 methinks. First game I played was Falcon Patrol.

since before i was born

then my family upgraded to a 386 in 93 or so, im not sure if that one had windows on it or not

i remember playing pharoahs tomb (the sex) leisure suit larry (..well...)(i was 4 btw) alleycat, chips. some wicked pinball game, tfx and more that i cant think of.


i also remember playing in explorer making the folders have stuff in them. i didnt know what i was doing but i didnt want my little suitcases/folders empty

then i was the wizkid in primary school on the shitboxes they had, i didnt like windows so i only used dos and they were like.. um.. this kid is better than any of the teachers at this school lol

BBC Micro Model B, in about '85. I'm 27 now.

Great little computer. Had to open it up and solder bits in all the time and with a bit of soldering I could hook it up to my lego and control my robots with BBC Basic.

Elite, Revs, Castle Quest......       Ah - great games.

Commodore PC10 in 1986 or 1987

Mmm when I was on 9th grade which would be 15 years old.

First pc in my room in 2005; donated it to my school this year. they drooled over it lol

commadore 64..... like 1985 or something like that

Can't remember when exactly or how old I was - I do know that over here the 486's were still being sold alongside the pentium processor based machines. Don't tell anyone but the guy from the store installed a bunch of illegal game/software copies on it. First games I played on it were Heroes of Might & Magic, Command & Conquer and Crusader - No Remorse if I remember correctly.

I believe dad bought mine when I was 10, so that would have been '77. I don't recall what our processors speed was, but I think dad bought the one that had 16KB memory. He actually hooked up my cassette player to use as a tape drive, it worked. I remember him saying that we could hook a telephone to it, and two computers could talk to each other. He never did get the "modem" to work. I just remembering him talking about it, and thinking how awesome that would be. Little did I know where we'd be 32 years from then, lol.

Only game I remember playing on it was a Star Trek game, it was text only. You had to read the text, and try to figure out where the enemy ship was to shoot at it. I failed miserably at that game. I sold my TRS-80 in a garage sale, in '85-'86, for $20. Wish I had kept it! D'oh!
