Your prior to pc experiences

Had a thought, I wonder if u could click on this poll where applicable.

8bit = Commodore, Sinclair, Dragon, BBC, Oric, Amstrad, Apple etc..

16bit = Amiga, Atari, Apple, BBC etc

32bit = Amiga, Atari, Apple, BBC etc

64bit/ppc = Amiga, Atari, Apple etc (for arguements sake a Falcon, G3/4/5 psuedo 2x32bit Amigas, and PPC expansions)

Not pc x86 at the same time, unless it was "because u had to for work/school". And u used them like u would use a pc today, as often, daily etc.

(u can multi select if necessary)

What would a 166mhz intel proccy, 16mb shared gfx and 64mb ram come under? I wouldnt call it a pc

I had all of the above Amiga was really when computers started to get "good" though and I took a lot more interest.

Back in the early 80s I had a Vic-20 (it was over $1000 with all the accs.) than a Commodore 64 than it went in the closet. And I never touched a comp till about 3 years ago I found a Pent1 in the garbage.

Chocolate milkshakes are good too!

 

[mrapoc]

I concur ^^

Strawberry milkshake got my vote.

Too young to remember these things

I was 13 when i started on a Vic-20. So you guys could have been doing what i was doing instead of having those shakes.

I enjoyed playing pitfall on the atari when it came out, Manic miner was my favourite on the spectrum, i think it was commandos on the amiga (pete burns you spin me right round music was the theme tune to it) or was that on the commodore 64? monkey island on my first pc , cannon fodder was also good fun.

Oh how the memories of a life without worries come flooding back.

Daley Thompson's Decathlon on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum ftw

Gah I remember having to get Mum and dad to buy me a new joystick almost every week when I had that baby!

 

[PP Mguire]
