Over half a century old and still playing computer games. Been dabbling in the damn things since the mid 1970's. That's before Bill Gates MS-DOS even thought of appearing. To tell you the truth, if I ever meet Bill Gates he will be talking in a very high squeak several seconds after I do meet him. Started with our Uncle Clive's calculator in the late 1970's and carried on from there.

 

My (very loose) user history is:

 

Sinclair Executive Calculator.

You had to learn a whole new language to use this - http://www.vintagecalculators.com/html/sin...t_calculat.html

Sinclair ZX80

Sinclair ZX81

Sinclair ZX81 + 16Kb memory

Sinclair Spectrum

Sinclair Spectrum 128

Commodore 64

Commodore 128

BBC B (Does anyone remember 'Elite'?)

Atari 512

Amiga 500

 

First real game that I played was 'The Hobbit' on the BBC B computer.

 

The next one I fondly remember playing is 'Elite' by David Braben.

Wiki (copy & paste) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_(video_game)

 

Video of Elite II on the Amiga (copy & paste).

Quote 'Gameplay from the beginning of the game including menus, combat against several crafts, docking etc.

I made many long and short cuts in repetitive parts (including combat).'

 

I suppose the modern equivalent of the original 'Elite' game is 'Freelancer',

but Elite did not really have a storyline and Freelancer does.

 

A big pause of several years ... then ...

 

After about 15 to 20 changes and/or purchases over the years I ended up with my current system.

I have nothing against more mature people, but only a very small portion of forum goers are over 30. Given the limited number of choices, discrimination in more popular categories takes priority.

 

 

 

I am 18 and a half

Because spirits in the most way are "a-temporal", consider I'm very young with 48 and half :biggrin:
