I'm going to crack a Jolt Cola and turn up the Pixies now. Oh Jolt Cola... Also tfw you remember your old IBM 286 (2MB HDD, 512K RAM), 5 1/2" floppy drive, and 1200 baud external dial up modem (text based internet ftw) memories... Kryptik Kai pls. Your age is showing. 486 SX (no co-processor), 4MB RAM, 2400 baud modem, 1x speed CD-ROM running Microsoft Encarta, Myst, and AOL on Win 3.1. Magic Carpet in real-mode DOS.
My first computer: year 1996, processor AMD 386 SX @16 Mhz, 1024 Kb of RAM, 20 glorious Mb of HDD, 1x 5 1/4 floppy and 1x 3 1/2 disk. Later expanded with a 387 coprocessor so it could run AutoCAD.
Didn't had any internet until 2001, though, and back then it already was running on a 56 Kb modem and the Internet bill was the cost of phoning the ISP. |

The first computer I used in 1988 was our equivalent of the IBM XT. 4.77 MHz and 128KB ram. What a beast! Well, "used", couldn't actually read yet, and Prince of Persia didn't come out till 1989, so I was just mostly mashing random keys in the prompt for my amusement. Probably could pass as a Holywood hacker.

I had just an abacus when you had computers. All you could play was "math" and very primitive form of music. It could serve as a rattle when you jiggled it.

I have vague early childhood memories of playing some kind of Space Invaders clone, the original Prince of Persia and a game where you had to make a frog to cross a busy road and then a river full of turtles and snakes. (It ended badly for the frog). That was most likely on a XT.

I vaguely recall playing some pacman derivative and Dangerous Dave. ****** if I know what system that was on, though.

I don't remember my first pc which I owned in 1993.But the first PC game I ever played was Home Alone on a Windows 3.1 office computer at my dad's workplace.In that game you had to set up traps for the burglars in a very VERY limited time and I didn't know the controls except moving so I failed again and again.I was more of a handheld gaming device geek.Then one day my dad bought me a Sega Mega Drive 2 console.I think I also had an Atari but the memories of it are a bit hazy.

Shooting torpedoes at various enemy starbases last night, taking a shot whenever I had to reload the launchers. At some point after the third starbase I'm pretty sure I got fleet warped a couple of times without noticing, then woke up to hear the FC telling us to online our bomb launchers, kept waiting for orders on where my squad was supposed to bomb.
Pretty sure I logged out at the safe spot in that system (behind enemy lines). Woke up this morning regretting that last half a dozen shots or so. Why is my portrait so blurry?

So, you're a bounty hunter. No, that ain't it at all. Then what are you? I'm a bounty hunter.

I got my first computer in the late 80's, Amiga 500, which I upgraded to have 1 full MB of RAM. I used it to mainly play Simulator and Adventure RPG type games. I still have the games and computer stashed in storage. I know I'm forgetting some of the games I have but here's a list of what I remember :
A-10 Tank Killer Another World Carrier Command Civilization Dungeon Master (and series expansion) Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (and series expansion) Eye of the Beholder (and series expansion) F/A-18 Interceptor Hole-In-One Miniature Golf Keef the Thief King's Quest (and series expansion) Leisure Suit Larry (and series expansion) Loom Lost Dutchman Mine M1 Tank Platoon (and series expansion) Midwinter (and series expansion) Moonbase Quest for Glory (and series expansion) Railroad Tycoon Space Quest (and series expansion) Spirit of Excalibur Starflight (and series expansion) Swords Of Twilight The Secret of Monkey Island (and series expansion) Total Eclipse Ultima (and series expansion) Wizardry: Bane of the Cosmic Forge Xenomorph
I haven't looked at these in decades, not even sure if the disks are still good. I should probably pull the Amiga computer and games out of storage and see if they still work.

Dad bought me 2nd hand Commodore 64 around -87, way too pricy for a teen back then. 99% of the time I used it was playing Elite, with some helping hand of my godfather who was obsessed about it Just tossed it away few weeks ago, since it's been dead for decades...

*checks inbox*
No, no answers yet. Guess that I'll have to go with my best guess that this all is some practical joke.

Ah Twilight Zone and Rod Sterling... And there was also The Outer Limits. As a teenager I stayed for middle of the night to watch modern episodes in TV, they were aired so late in the night here. But I did not had nightmares. Few years earlier than that it happened few times. Especially when I watched Leviathan. It was a lot scarier when I was so young. I rewatched it fairly recently and it is not so good as I remember it from my childhood...
