Which computers & consoles have you owned ?

[Alphaloki]

In chronological order, if possible.

 

-Back in 1982 I got the Mattel Intellivision :

 

-In 1984 the ColecoVision :

 

-In 1987 an Atari ST 1040 :

 

 

-In 1989 a Commodore Amiga 500 :

-In 1995 my first PC, a Pentium 75 overclocked at 90Mhz

-in 2000 another PC, this time a dual CPU card (Abit BP6) with two 400Mhz Celerons overclocked at 500Mhz each.

 

Since then I've had several more PC's, the latest being a quad core i5 6600 @3.3Ghz with a 970 Geforce.

 

Tell us about your old computers and consoles

The components are a joke when compared with the ones you get now. Makes you wonder if the stuff we use today will become outdated and obsolete soon.

 

First computer was an IBM. Don't remember the specific model though. It had like 80mb had xD.

Man, the Atari ST and Amiga had no internal HDD. Just 1.44MB floppies. Consider yourself lucky

Holy crap......how did things work back then. But then again, not many had it. Mostly companies for their accountants and for documentation I assume.

Companies had old IBM PCs running DOS (later Win 3.1) with just floppies. Musicians liked the ST because it had a MIDI port. However the Amiga had better sound and graphics than the ST.

We've come a long way since! You think ET could run on any of those machines you posted assuming WiFi existed then with relatively the same speed?

Havent had many modern consoles, and lost some of the old ones now (have some in the attic where I grew up still).

 

Consoles:

 

Sega Master System

Sega Mega Drive

Gameboy Pocket

Sega Saturn

Sega Dreamcast

Xbox

Xbox 360

(have a barcode battler somewhere still I think, does that count? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode_Battler)

Various LCD games, only one I still have is an anniversary star trek one still working perfectly http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Trek:_25th_Anniversary_LCD_Video_Game

 

Computers

 

Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2B

​Amiga 600

Amiga 1200

​First PC with Pentium 133Mhz Windows 95.

First PC I got and built for myself was an AMD xp 3200 with GeForce FX 5600 (a mistake - the fx series in general is one of the worst NVidia made, and the standard 5600 I got was probably the worst out of them)

No way The ST had a 8Mhz CPU and the Amiga 7Mhz (but it had a dedicated graphics chip).

There were a few 3D games though like Starglider 2, Interceptor, etc.

One of my neighbours had a ZX Spectrum. If I remember well the game were on analog K7 (very very slow to load).

 

Much later, one of my friends had a Dreamcast console. We used to play Soul Kalibur. I was playing Nightmare all the time

Yea all on tapes, and the sound of the game loading played through the tv.

 

8 minutes of this to load Robocop for example

 

 

Had limited but interesting sounds, people always assume it could only beep but that was the first one - the 128k was much better than that (the intro song to quick snax dizzy still pops into my head to this day and the Robocop one above is fairly famous).

 

Soul Calibur was a great game (completed all of it, broke a controller throwing it on the way)

Here's the Amiga version :

I loved that game when it was released back in 1989.

I had a Commodore 64 first back in the early 80's, then "updated" it to a Amiga 500. Then I got some 386 or 486 used model as a gift from my uncle who had a pc store lol.

Then I discovered girls and was busy for quite few years and next was Playstation 1 in late 90's, then built my own pc at 2003 with celeron cpu and some grappy gpu that can't remember. It is still working This pc I use now I built in 2009 or 2010 I think and should get a new one yesterday already.

[Scooby755]

Apple 2 E , my first computer and the only Apple i ever owned  

 

[-=HipKat=-]

Consoles, only 1st generation Nintendo and Play Station.

 

Computers, man too many to list.

First was an old 486, not even sure who made it, then I had a Hewlett Packard P1 in 1995, 1.6GB hard Drive lol. Maybe it was 24MB RAM?

 

Next was a Gateway P3 in 2000 which I Upgraded until it could be upgraded no more, then I started just building my own customs.
