What was your very first computer/ console?

**Solidchrome** · 30th October 2007, 01:52 PM

Mine was 'Pong' in 1976/ 77

Which was yours?

Wow, now that's some advanced technology right there

Amstrad cpc 464, built in tape deck and GREEN screen monitor, yhey!
We eventually got upgraded to a colour screen, heh
Console wise, I think it was either the NES or Sega Mastersystem

Hmmm, tough question.

Think for consoles it was the Atari.

For computer I think it was a Tandy100/C-64 (same time).

I had something in about 1975 which had a bunch of generic "sports" games on it [All basically "pong like" stuff] and which went wrong a few days after Christmas and had to go back.

I think it cost about £30 which was a helluva lot of money back then thinking about it.

Tandy 1000 back in 90 (I was 9)

I remember playing this game for hours with my dad

M1 Tank Platoon by Microprose

And the first RPG style game I fell in love with (was like 9 or 10 at the time) was:

Conquests of Camelot... I remember thinking how amazing this game was.

**DiP** · 30th October 2007, 03:05 PM

Conquest of Camelot STILL is an amazing game! One of my old time favs.

Wrath of God · 30th October 2007, 03:12 PM

DiP! Finally someone else who loves the game

I always mention it and people are like "no idea what you are talking about"... This game is classic. Remember the cone-shaped stones that asked riddles and you had to answer each one of them? Ah memories....
