How many of you own old vintage computers or are interested in them. Obviously there are emulators out there now which can bring back old memories (If you're an old grandpa like me) or maybe you're just intrigued by the progression of computing in general.
I remember a game called ballblazer which basically was 3d split screen and involved stealing a circular object from the opposition and firing it into their goal before they could steal it back from you. A simple scoreboard with more npc's added eventually 1987 lucasfilm atari.
Care to share your growing up memories? what was your first comp's. 486/dx 66? pentium 300's? etc. who remembers blood, original duke nukem 3d, first quake.
I had an amiga 500, commodore 64c, atari 800xl, then went 386/sx and so on till now. ahhh the memories
;D your comments r welcome

Atari, Colecovision, Commodore 64c, Commodore 128, Compaq SLT/286, Packard Smell (Bell) 486/25 Multimedia system, cost like $4500 at the time... >_<. After that Penitums came around and upgrades became very frequent, every 1-2 years.

awesome spiffy! hey remember the c64 game skate or die? the 6502 sid music? wasnt that awesome for it's time. i remember recording it to vcr and listening to it at school on my teac walkman hahahaha.
international karate plus 2 was awesome 2 as well as commando.
Jack tramiels masterpiece commodore although i loved my atari for some reason the titles just didn't have it over the c64. sprites etc. games seemed better.
loved my dot matrix printer tho. also long loading times miss that. was almost like every little thing to be acquired gave so much joy. i take it for granted these days.
