Your first computer?

You could try eBay, actually. Or preserve them, and try to sell them as antiques in 100 years.

Ahhhhhhh thanks alot

I completed Saberwulf and attic attack, and what was it called underworld. you couldn't complete Jet pac if I remember rightly it just got harder and harder with different space ships, Chuckie egg was the same, someone I know cracked into it and found it just got faster and faster 'til it crashed, man I had the highest score in school for two years 'till they replaced the comps with BBC's.

Ultima the game company of dreams. It may of taken 5 minutes to load but it was worth it. I played Elite on the BBC Micro first then the Atari ST, Elite two had shaded and coloured polygons and it looked marvelous, now it looks like crap, but then it was fantastic. My Brother actually completed Manic Miner which was an absolute git, only person I know ever to have done so, walking up the keyboard at the end was like watching a God ascend the stairway to heaven

Me I never forget the times I had in stores, doing 10 print "Sidhe"
20 code 256.
30 goto 10
Which locked the break key and then watching the shop assistants trying to reset it and having to fart around behind the display case trying to turn it off.

Happy days

Anyone remeber Bugaboo the flea, damn dragon, got him in the end and escaped to Nirvana

Ant Attack,ah the first truly 3d game, well not really but it was damned good fun.

My dad got an Apple 2 in 94, I was only 2 or 3 when we got it, but I still remember it. He then got a PC sometime in 95 or 96 with windows 95 on it, and his obsession with computers started. We now have 6 home built machines, an Apple iMac(old one), a Lap top from 97, and a few more that arent hooked up right now. I think our record for computers in the house is around 11 not includeing the lap top.

A Tandy 1000 comparable to the one viewable in the left image on this page:

It had two high density floppy drives (both 5-inchers) and a 20 megabyte hard disk. Processor speed was 4 or 8 Mhz, depending on whether the "turbo" mode was enabled, and it had 640 KB of RAM.

I think it had MS DOS 4-something on it... I had PC Tools and Norton Disk Utilities installed on it too.

I assure you, I tried. I kept coming up with "Return to Pirate Isle".

I googled 'TI99 Pirate game" and it was the first hit.

I have no idea what it would have been called, but the year was 1980.

This was bugging me so I had to phone up my dad and ask him.
It was a Radio Shack II
And apparently the year was 1981.
Looked like this:
