First computer I ever owned was a 286 with a VGA screen. Don't remember any of the specs, but Wolfenstein 3D was the best game I had for it.

First computer I ever used was an Apple IIE. Best game for that is a toss up between Oregon Trail, Cross Country Canada and Lemonade Stand.

Atari 800 - Zork (and all the other Infocom games).

Turbo, we may have disagreements in other threads...but in this thread you are right on...I wasted many an hour of my life playing the zork series text games

**rickholio** · 05-02-2005, 11:58 PM

TRS-80 Model I, circa 1978, which was replaced with a TRS-80 Model II the following year. Yep, the good ol' TRS-80, with its blow-on-it-and-you've-ruined-it 8 inch floppy disk.

The only real game for it was Zork, of course.

It's dark here. You'll likely be eaten by a grue.

I like this thread. I can tell pretty much how old everyone is, just by reading their replies.

Asswipe, don't act like we know each other or that you have been here for a long time, because neither are true.

Work on your pathetic design portfolio.

You're nothing but a surfer with an HTML program and some fugly templates.

BlueWire, you just don't know when to quit, do ya?

Keep it up.

**Downtime** · 05-03-2005, 12:40 AM

First was a Packard Bell Navigator, 25mhz. Best game on it was Wing Commadner 2 - Deluxed Edition. Best part about the game was how all the voice actors dropped the F-bomb constantly during the game. My mom loved that

Fine...truce

I'm sick of being part of the everyday GFY drama...(something tells me there will be another reference to how shitty you think our designs are though)

**BoNgHiTtA** · 05-03-2005, 12:43 AM

IBM Pc JR. my favorite game was a game written in basic, I dont remember what it was called.

oh, and you can't forget Leisure Suit Larry, but that wasnt for the JR, that was for the IBM xt we had

You have chosen wisely.

You don't have to worry about me pointing out how unprofessional your portfolio is either. Just don't be a tool. You were the only person to take David Stodghill's bait. Think about that for a while.

**BlueWire** · 05-03-2005, 12:47 AM

That new one sucked ass. It didn't have Al Lowe designing it, it was just Vivendi's cheap attempt at capitalizing on the name.

I fell for buying it though...

**BlueWire** · 05-03-2005, 12:51 AM

Its okay...we all did

BTW...what part of seattle you from?

Cap hill right now, but hopefully that will change. I have been trying unsuccessfully to buy a house for 10 months now. Fucking seattle inflated prices...

**BlueWire** · 05-03-2005, 01:07 AM

Small world. My house is in North Cap Hill...not the gay part...the rich snob part

................Not that i even give a shit. But there are some interesting parts of Cap Hill to say the least.
