Mine could play all kind of games but most of them were so fucking bad. The few good ones were a lot of fun though. They were expensive as fuck as well. And besides the drawing on the box and maybe a screenshot on the back you had no way to know what kind of game it was.

first in the house - TRS-80
first that was mine - 386 DX40. Think it had 16 mb of ram and a 40 mb hard. Just enough to run autocad and windows 3.1

Tom_PM · 10-14-2012, 11:33 AM

I counted from 0 to 1 on my mothers boobs from quite early on.

As for my first experience with computers it was in the early 70's at my dads work.

I used them at work in the 80's and finally bought a Tandy Color Computer 2 in the late 80's.

I loved to play Prince of Persia.

In 1994 I was just a 7 yo kid.

Now it is your time!

Don't be shy... just tell us about your first computer!
I bet it was better than mine.

Dude, same thing! What a coincidence..remember NEO GEO emulators?

Crazy Enough · 10-14-2012, 08:48 PM

RyuLion, I remember. Cool! We had the same PC...

I'm surprised... I just wanna say thank you guys for answering this topic.

When the subject is something related to our first days with something, the discussion is always cool, and very nostalgic.

There are some computers that I never heard about...

GFY is a nice community with cool people, we're just tired of so many dumb topics with repetitive questions.

Hell, I think I'm gonna cry.

I just remembered a few things...

I had a TRS-80 Model 1 and then later a Model 3. I connected each to a modem and to their own separate telephone lines, both running a BBS that I wrote myself (called Datamate). Each computer could handle only 1 user at a time, but the users could chat with each other because I had hooked up the Cassette ports to each other. My friend Rick wrote a protocol that would let them send and receive to each other, and voila! Chat!

2MuchMark · 10-14-2012, 09:54 PM

totally forgot. When I had my IBM XT's and TRS-80's I also had some of this hardware:

Epson FX 80 Printer.

Hayes Smartmodem:

Radioshack DUMb Modem (no auto dial, no auto answer, 300 Baud

Expansion Interface (held 48k Ram, Floopy Disk Controller, Parallel Printer Port, optional Serial Port

Serial Modem expansion board (for TRS-80 Expansion Interface above). This is NOT a modem - just the expansion board necessary to add a modem. Yikes.

And of course, the TRs-80 Cassette Recorder:

This was used to load and save programs to cassette tape. Yes, Cassette tape. The TRS-80 could read and write to the cassette tape at a whopping 62.5 Bytes Per second. Thats BYTES PER SECOND, not KILObytes or MEGAbytes or GIGAbytes, you spoiled youngin's....

Ah the good old days.

2MuchMark · 10-14-2012, 09:59 PM

Btw: If your vintage computers still work, why not connect them to the Internet? I found a resource site that shows you how. http://www.8bit-micro.com/coverstory.htm

My first was a
Intel 386
I remember the case had a "boost" button that would push it to 25Mhz. Woot! Dialup was at 2800bps. I played Carmen Sandiego on that beast so much. Made my own ms DOS menus, too. Fun times.
