Try late 70s. Atari 400/800 baby. Both still work :) Remember getting a hard on buying my first floppy drive for them. No more tape drive, I was in love.

Btw...Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year guys.

My first computer was a Commodore 64 :)  (1983)

First PC was in 1997.  AMD 686 166mhz, 8mb RAM, 2mb graphics!  Think the hard drive was something like 2.3g.

1st upgrade was to 386 sx 20mhz 4 mb ram color VGA monitor so I could play SWOTL - thought I'd died and gone to heaven :)

FWIW

I still own a zx spectrum 48k with several hundred games.  The joy of waiting 45 mins for a game to load only for the tape to finish and find it had crashed.:D

i collect old videoconsole & computers (up to the first 286 nothing newer) just for fun. I prefer to use an emulator if i like
to run some old software/games, though. Hardware only for showcase.
Anyone here with an old ATARI 400 or 800 (NTSC or PAL) who dont need them anymore? ;)
I also search the VCS2600 Rev. A (found only the Rev. B so far)

Hmm, had a Commodore 64 (with the tape player!), a Kaypro at some point, a packard bell 386.. i remember when lightning fried it, and they gave us a mobo with twice the ram. I almost wet myself. Wing Commander 2's speech pack blew me away, after a few hours of fiddling with emm386 to get it to load properly.

486 DX50, Chuck Yeagers Advanced Combat Simulator, head to head dog fights 109 vs F-4 Phantom II. I've still got that game, though I transferd it off the 5.25 to 3.5 floppys. :aok
