What was your first computer? Best game on that computer?
Mine was a Mac "LC" . There was the Classic, the LC, and the SC i believe in that release...
It had 25 MB HDD 2 Megs of Ram 3.5" Floppy Drive Best game I owed and perhaps EVER owned...was this game called "Vette!" It was a 3d driving simulator where you drove corvettes around san fransisco. It had ALL the real streets and a version atleast of the real buildings. It was really cool because you would race from like a specific point of SF to another point and you would not only need to race but find your way there. They made it so you really had to like bust out the SF map...couldnt just follow a dot on a map. I know there is midnight club now but nothing has really touched Vette in my mind for capturing the element of finding your way around a city in a race... Unfortunately Accolade is out of biz now i think :( The hardball series kicked ass too... |

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.

Commodore 64. It was my dad's, actually. I was really young. My favourite game was Football Manager. It was free on the cover of a c64 games magazine. Cassette tape games ruled.

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. :winkwink: |
Always gotta get the last word in dont ya? :moon

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... |
Its okay...we all did :(
