Dork....Well I did take programing class when I was 10. And Im not lying, back home school is tough. Grade three math was damn hard. In grade 6 biology and physics were the worst...

Anyway I forgot all the BASIC language. I remeber few comands, but thats it....

nostalgic, the first computer my father bought (1986) was an IBM with a harddrive of an never seen, end of the world 20MB. In those days even our neighbours came to watch it when I was playing frogger!

[Jabba]

DEFENDER and I have since bought an actual machine that was made in the 80's to re-live my childhood when I used to have to beg people for money to play on it.

My first computer was a Vic-20 with an amazing 3.5 k of ram

Then the 64 followed by a few Amigas then into the PC world with the 286 and MSDOS 5.0

[hemi_fan]

I just born then... so the oldest game I played thats my fav would have to be BOMBERMAN 1 for SNES. (have the emulator now :D)

[spicymustard]

Break Out
Frogger
Ms. Pac Man


There all so good

[snacky]

wow. those computer pix bring back memories.

REVS on C64. it had a driver's in-car perspective, it had realistic physics - under/oversteer/4 wheel drift slides, opponent AI, track elavation changes, wing adjustments, etc, makes you wonder how'd they do that on a 64K machine?

[Hawk]

Gradius. A very adicting game with good soundtrack even back then.

Do you also remember one of my favourite games of all time..PITSTOP II by Epyx for the C64 at all ?

[Matty]

pong would have to be the greatest game ever

[Militant-Grunt]

My first system was a Commondore Amiga 600, favorite all time game for that system would be Lemmings 3. Spent countless hours trying to get those no brained blue bastards to their home.. lol

[crazidude]

lol I spent hours playing lemmings. I never managed to finish that dam game, they always fell into some damn ditch.

[gis]

lemmings is awesome,i bought the game last week for £5 for my PC,its so addictive.

[Kangaroo Boy]

I had that game on my Mega drive...I spent countless hours on lemming but I didn't finish it either..Its really hard game.

[gottacatchup]

asteroids was always my favorite, i played missile command alot but it always pissed me off cause i lost

[Biscuitz]

Pacman without a doubt. That game can get really instense and fast/fun once you get onto the harder levels.

I'm not too bad on it either.
