One of the games that came with the Amstrad CPC 664 (Green Screen), written in the back of the manual. Had to type it in using BASIC (hardcore! ). You were flying a bomber coming into land and you had to bomb these buildings to avoid crashing. Have no idea if it had a name. :mrgreen:

First console was the NES, with Super Mario Bros.

I remember we used to buy books that had games to type in yourself on the Spectrum. used to spend hours writing games youd play for 10 minutes!!!

Typed it in on the ZX81, an even worse keyboard and at least a year earlier. Think at least one version of it was called bomber, very original title.

was my 1st computer, with the green screen... I remember one day my dad came home with a box that allowed you to plug it into your TV and get basic colour

My started on my mates apple something..., had an external tape cassette drive, and used to play things like lemmings or prince of persia on it.

I vaguely remember having to type "chain" and stuff at a command prompt.

Then I got my first every computery console. Binatone something... played pong, tennis (pong with a different name, and scoring system), squash (both paddles on one side), badminton (slower version of tennis), and various other pong like games

Then upgraded to a console I cant remember the name of but it had basic colour, with plastic inserts that would slide over 9 button control pads to give you different key combinations to play games like frogger, or space invaders. Something like Maxivision? or multivision??



WOOT!!! FOUND A PICCIE of it!

Then got myself a NES and it kicked ass!!! remember coming home the day my parents bought it, found them in my room having played super mario brothers for hours and hours while I was around my mates for the day (was meant to be a surprise for me).
