Computers where more exciting in the old days. I went the commodore route.

Vic 20 then Commodore 64
First games I remember playing where Duck Shoot on the Vic 20.



Every Saturday we used to get the bus to Brighton and visit a computer shop called Gamer. Does anyone remember this shop? When you walked in everyone used to gather around the commodore Amiga 500. Everyone was blown away by the juggler demo



A few years later, and after getting my first job, I managed to save my money and get the Amiga 600. It was brilliant.

I miss those days.


Aah Gamer, down by The Cannon cinema. I worked there when I was on the YTS scheme. It was brilliant just sitting there playing computer games all day!!!

Can't remember [MENTION=307]Biscuit[/MENTION] may know, All I remember is the games were all on floppy disks and it was almost keyboard shaped.

It was from an Amegia 64! It would have been either 'Monkey Island' or 'Prince or Persia'. Both absolute classics!

There is no such thing as an Amiga 64. There was a Commodore 64 which predated the original Amiga.

My first game was Microsoft Olympics on the Apple IIe

Our was deffo an Amiga so I guess it was the Amega 500?

The very first game I played on a computer was my friend's ZX81. I don't remember what the game was.

My first computer was a Vic 20 and the first game I bought for it was the MASSIVELY underwhelming 'Wacky Waiters'.
