first computer you ever owned

[BaggedSplash]

i figure that some of us had some really old computers when we were younger so i got to thinking a thread for us to post our old computers would be pretty neat. heres mine.



its a Texas Instruments TI-994a. it was hooked up to our tv and my dad used it to write programs for where he worked at and he could "call in" to work via a modem. i used it to play games on. one particular game i used to play alot was a game called Parsec. it was a space game where you shot stuff. it got rather difficult to play in some levels. heres a link to specs and info about it:

**edit**
heres an emulator i found that has Parsec and a bunch of other games!!!! Software from HarmlessLion.com!

My first puter was a 33 mhz slow ass bastard. Then I got a 133 mhz, then after I got sick of those I bought myself a badass computer, then a decent laptop.

I didn't own a computer until I turned 13. I remember using the school computers though in the 80s. Playing Oregon Trail & Carmen Sandiego on the Apple computers.

[Dana]

All praises to the slow as molasses 14.4K Modem!

 

[Pudding Time]

Yeah I have a Vic 20, then a Commodore 64, then an Amiga 500. After that we stepped up to PC's as we know them today, and our first one was a DX2-66.

I'd have to ask my dad, but I'm pretty sure it was whatever came before a commodore 64 .. but then we also had a commodore 64 and an Amiga too .. and it just snowballed after that lol.

 

[thrawn]

my first was something from tandy that used cassette tapes and a tape deck. then it was an apple ][e.

all hand me downs from my grandfather.

 

[Mase]

Can't remember what it was. But i do remember, that it had windows 95, was slower than a snail, and had little to no space in it. Good thing back then, games weren't so damn huge.
