My favorite gaming system is the Nintendo DS.

My roblox account is older than most roblox users.

I saw first hand when the pool was closed due to aids.

I watched MySpace die.

My first PC was a hand me down socket 423 system with dual 40gb hard drives, two 24x cd burners, and a geforce4 ti 4600 which I used to pirate music and burn onto CDs.

I still have my first computer, the Apple II plus, and it still works.  First game system was the Atari 2600 and I still have it and it actually still works as well.  Starting to feel like they are in better shape than I am? 🤪

Old enough that I was young enough not to remember my dad's brand new Apple IIC+ when he got it.

My favourite games were Airborne Rangers, where you have to type correctly the name of the game to play it. Dir/w helps.

My first computer as a kid (under 10 years old) ran DOS. Why did I have a PC that young? My parents worked for a tech company; we were swimming in all kinds of stuff. My monitor was black and white, though.

first pc was a 386 inherited from my brother with a Soundblaster Card and a Co-Processor update.

 

i have also owned an Amiga 500 + a C64, and the first gaming i tried, was when my father brought home one of these..  the Magnavox Odyssey 2 i am not sure it was that one, but i just remember the keyboard and the cartridges, and the generic games.. 

 

like a cowboy dual game, a Monkey game, a speedway game and so on .. just a wierd thing.. but first console in the city so a lot of people gathered around it.

 

I was NOT old, this was not bought new, and it was born the same year as i was.. so it was late at it´s life.. or end of life i am not sure.

Shining Force II was in my mind the single best game on the market when my father bought it for his Genesis shortly after it's release.

My first PC was a shiny new Pentium 3 550 (Katmai) running Windows 98 SE.

My first PC was a hand-me-down from my sis, the box said gateway.

I also got owned a lot in Mortal Kombat on Sega console.

My first online chatting experience was on mIRC & ICQ.

LOTUS was the first programming language I learned (Mandatory by my school)

My first online experience included a screeching sound made by a rectangular box near the landline, and getting half-murdered by my Dad for massive phone bill at the end of the month.

There is approximately 99% chance I edited my post

I took this picture on a 3DS XL. You can see a Wii on the very right side.
