What is your computer/console history?

[edd_jedi]

I always think it's interesting to see what computers people had when they were growing up, as nobody had everything back then, and often I think it led on to career choices in later life (certainly im my case.) I'll go first. It's probably worth pointing out that I have 2 younger brothers, so most of these were shared.

1) Spectrum +3 (1987)
This was my first computer, and I got it for my 6th birthday. Great present. My favourite games were Gift from the Gods, Skate or Die, and Batman. This was our only computer for a long time so I remember it well. I had this until about 1994 when I sadly blew it up trying to fix the RF signal with tin foil! (I was young and foolish...)

2) Sega Master System II (1992)
Our first console. We really wanted a SNES, but our parents got us this instead. I can't believe we only had this for a year as it felt like a lifetime (I guess time passes much more slowly when you're young.) My favourite games on this were Alex Kidd, Mickey Mouse, Asterix, and all the Sonic games.

3) SNES (1993)
Finally, we had a SNES! The only reason we wanted it was for Street Fighter 2, so that and Mario All Stars were the only games we had for quite a long time.

4) Amiga 1200 (1994)
This was my first proper computer that I did anything other than gaming on. I was 13, and used to love art so I spent just as much time playing with Deluxe Paint as I did playing games. This is probably the computer I have the fondest memories of, hence why I'm still on this site. I had it for about 3 years until we got a PC and Amiga faded into obscurity. My favourite games were Monkey Island 1+2, Cannon Fodder, and Simon the Sorcerer. I was more in to graphic adventures and strategy games on the Amiga than arcade style games. It's also worth mentioning that most of my friend at the time also had Amiga's or CD32's as well as other consoles, so I think that's why I wanted an Amiga in the first place. I know a lot of people that have never heard of them.

5) Compaq PC Pentium 133 (1997)
Finally we were all of the age where we needed a proper computer for homework, so we got a PC. This was my first exposure to the internet, which is mainly what I used it for. I played Quake a lot, but was never a massive PC gamer. I mainly played older PC games on it like Sam + Max, Tie Fighter etc.

6) Nintendo 64 (1997)
Great machine, Mario 64 is still probably my favourite console game ever. Pure genius and completely ground breaking at the time. I was also a big fan of Wave Race and Rogue Squadron.

7) Sega Saturn (1998 )
This was the first computer I bought myself with my own money when I was 16. I loved all of the Sega Arcade games of the period like Virtua Racing, Daytona, Sega Rally, Virtua Cop etc so this machine was a real dream. I'd love to have another if gun games worked on LCD TVs

8 ) Apple iMac (2002)
I was at art college and we had to use Macs, so my parents got us a long overdue upgrade (we'd had the PC for 5 years!) This was my first Mac, and since then I've never looked back. I ended up working as a web designer/developer, and this computer is the main reason why, it was my first exposure to Photoshop/Dreamweaver etc.

I've had a lot of other computers since then (new and old) including a Game Boy and Game Gear at some point during my youth, but these are the ones that I'd say influenced me the most. I lost interest in consoles after the Saturn so have never had a PlayStation/XBox or anything like that, modern games just don't appeal to me.

Hello. When i was a child, i had to drawn something for the tooth health at my school. I won a cinema ticket for this work. I saw TRON and said to myself, " i want to do some 3D stuff !"
Many years later, at my first job, i ask to the MAC seller of my job what i need to do some 3D stuff. This idiot laugh at me and said "you need a million dollars computer and a million dollar software" (it was a long time ago)... I was a bit sad and told it to a friend, he said "my brother do some 3D stuff with an Amiga !" 2 weeks later i found an A2000 for a little money, and my life was suddenly under the light !

[fitzsteve]

My first Console was an Atari 2600, probably 1985. Hooked up to our living room TV I used to love paying Centipede, I'd have been about 6 years old

A few years later my Stepdad moved in with his Spectrum 48k and I was lke WOW. It was such an awesome system to use I guess I was 9 or 10 at the time. He shortly got the 128k(Toastrack) and the following XMAS I got my very own 128k +2b Used to play it on a 20in Black & White TV in my Bedroom, I doubt I ever got any sleep. I used to love playing the Dizzy games and classics like Manic Miner, Odd Job Eddi, etc.

A couple of years later one of my friend had an A500, I was really jealous but we couldn't afford one I ended up buying an Sega Master System with my Nan's Christmas money and Sonic the hedgehog, I got in big trouble because I was £5 short and borrowed £5 from my friend, my mum went mad lol that I'd overspent and come back asking her for more money!

I loved that Master System, Alex Kidd, the built in game was one of my favorites. Must have been about 1988-1990..

Soon after I got a Gameboy, this was epic at the time. It was second hand but came with about 14 Games in a carry case. I was well chuffed and took it everywhere lol. I remember getting chased home by some travelers as they wanted to steal it from me! I remember my Dad bought me a Booster boy for it, that was awesome

We later got a Sega Megadrive as a family system and I got a Snes of my own year or two later, maybe 1994? I think we might have got a 2nd hand NES too at some point. Some of my friend at school had Amiga 1200's, I was always envious of them

I used to save up money from my paper round and buy Games for the Snes second hand. I loved Mario World, Killer Instinct, Unicycle, UMK3 and the Donkey Kong Country Games although I got my PlayStation 1 when DK3 came out so have never played it to completion (I have it now though!)

I briefly had a Sega Saturn too but I sold it to a friend, at the time I favored the PS1 and loved Ridge Racer, Crash Bandicoot, F1(95) and NBA live

At this time I was working full time and living at home, I bought most systems shortly after they were released and often traded in the old ones. I had a N64 then a Japanese Dreamcast and traded that for a PAL Dreamcast on release, it seemed like ages before we got the Dreamcast in the UK and then the PS2 came out!

I absolutely loved playing HOTD 2, I had a big TV too at the time and HiFi separates, all in my bedroom lol my friends used to love coming over. Girlfriends always though I was a bit sad with all my gadgets!

Shortly after, I guess about 1997/1998 I got my first PC, a Compaq Presario and I paid a fortune for it, it was the first thing I bought on credit, I think it was like 10 payments of about £150

It was a Pentium 200mmx with 8mb Ram! I had to double the Ram soon after as with Windows 98 (I upgraded it was shipped with 95) was too slow! It had only 2mb onboard SVGA, I learned the hard way about upgrade limitations of branded PC's, only had PCI slots but was good enough for my Voodoo 2 8mb that I bought (with pass through)

I played Quake/Quake II, Duke Nukem 3D, Ultimate Race Pro and spent a lot of hours on the internet at 1p a minute lol.

My next PC was a Hewlett Packard, (AMD K62 with 3D Now ) you'd of thought I'd have learned my lesson from the Compaq, had that only a few months and then started building my own PC's, I had many over the years from AMD Athlon 800mhz, 1000mhz, (GForce MX440 upgraded to Radeon 9600 lol) AMD 3200+, 3800+ (GForce 6800 Ultra ) 4400+ X2, (NVidia 8800GTSx 2 SLI) AMD 5200+ and now AMD FX X4 4170 (NVidia GTX260)

I was really hooked on online Gaming, I used to play Quake III online, Unreal Tournament, Soldier of Fortune II (was in a Gaming Clan for years I used to run the Servers) Call of Duty/United Offensive(loved those trip wires!)

Those were the days... I quit at Call of Duty Modern Warfare II when they stopped us from hosting our own dedicated servers

And of course I have a few Amiga's and other consoles now too

My first A1200 came in about 2002? Bought for nostalgia purposes from a Car boot sale. Used it for a few years and boxed it up. Got it out a few years ago to sell it :double

 

[Firthy2002]

First computer we owned was an Amiga 500+ back in 1991.
Cartoon Classics pack is all we had for a while. For pretty much all of the first year we had it hooked up to a portable TV with the A520 as my mum didn't want us tying up the main TV.
After a year though my parents shelled out for some upgrades, it got moved upstairs to the spare room on a desk, with a Philips CM8833-II monitor (with a free copy of Lotus 2! ), 1MB Chip RAM expansion, GVP HD+8 with 8MB Fast RAM and a 80MB hard drive, and an external Roctec floppy drive. I was amazed at the difference just having Fast RAM made.
She lasted quite a long time, although over time she developed faults with one of the sound outputs and graphics glitching. Never opened her up to look but I would guess the battery leaked...
Eventually she died and ended up at the tip after I'd removed the still working RAM and GVP. I've always wondered how long that GVP remained in service after I owned it...

Despite much pestering over the years, it would be 1995 before we got our first console, a secondhand MegaDrive 1 (which I still have). Got most of the well known classics for it and all of the Sonics.

Also in 1995 we decided to get an A1200 as constantly reading about it in Amiga Format had wet our appetites. A Magic Pack A1200HD arrived that Xmas and we were in awe at the AGA goodness. She remained as stock for just under a year (although the external drive moved and another monitor was purchased) until we got a Magnum '030 with 8MB (IIRC) of Fast RAM and a Squirrel SCSI and CD-ROM drive.
She would remain in that configuration until I sold her in 2001, a decision I have come to regret.
Although the 1200 and 500+ were both set up, the 500+ got used less and less as most stuff ran happily on the A1200 and then JST HD installers took care of the rest.

Then 1996 happened and we were exposed to the PSX. Again more pestering ensued and we got one that Xmas. Mostly demo discs, not sure if we got that one chipped.

1997 rolled around and the N64 got released. Me and my brother were unsure about it, until a trip to our cousins' house. We were amazed by GoldenEye 007, Mario Kart and Lylat Wars (Star Fox 64). We briefly saw Super Mario 64 which pretty much sealed it.
Again more pestering, but this time there was a cost, we had to give up the PSX!
After some deliberation we agreed and soon had a shiny N64 of our own (still got it). We built up a pretty good collection for it, even getting the expansion pack for Rogue Squadron.
Think 1997 was also the year I got my Gameboy Pocket. My brother had been bought an original Gameboy in 1992, AFAIK it's in a loft (not sure if his or ours!)
Then in 1999 I sold my Gameboy Pocket and got a Gameboy Color (still got it).

It would be 2001 before we got a desktop PC at home, although I'd used them at school for a few years and had a school-provided laptop I used for schoolwork.
We also got dial-up Internet which I loved, after years of part-time 'net access!

2002-4 I went to uni and this is also when the collecting bug hit me.
Most would probably say it was highly irresponsible, but I ended up buying a DC, NES, SNES, Mega CD2, Sega Nomad and C64.
My mum wasn't too happy with me!

2005 I got a classic Xbox. I was unemployed at the time, but thanks to Gamestation's offers I was able to amass a fairly large secondhand collection for much less than what it would have cost at full price. At some point I also got a Gameboy Advance, although I've only a couple of games for it to this day.

The classic Xbox is the most modern system I own. We also ended up with a PSX again but I forgot how that happened. It was chipped so most games we have for it are copies. My brother still has it I think.

Since I became properly full time employed I've added a SMS1, Atari Jaguar, Spectrum +3, VIC 20, C16 and Plus/4 to my collection. Except for the VIC-20 I've got at least 1 game for each.

My mum says I own too much. I'm inclined to agree!

[mike_cc]

Hand held LCD games were my thing when I was under 10yoa. I had the single screen donkey kong with the birds above and the crocs (or moving bear traps, whatever they were they were scary!) below. Remember clocking it in a head to head with a kid in the year above at school - now that's multiplayer for you!

Wasn't til way later we finally got a second hand Spectrum +2a from my dad's friend - his kid was upgrading and I was probably 13 or something then. Rolling Thunder was so bloomin' difficult.

By then my friends already owned a bbc micro and an A500 respectively so I spent a lot of time over theirs playing meaty oars, ghosts 'n' ghouls, xenonII, F/A18: Interceptor and Blues Brothers (and a lot of Rick Dangerous).

Around that time we got a new-from-the-shop NES and that was awesome. Duck Hunt and Mario Bros came with and we supplemented those with one or two others.

My friend with an A500 offered it to me but I couldn't afford to buy it from him. Eventually he just gave it to me and I started getting more into the Amiga, but by then the A500 had been replaced in my fantasies by the slimmer, sleeker, AGA equiped A1200 and I bought one on HP as soon as I got my very first job, in Carphone Warehouse Repair Centre, Park Royal.

Not very long after I showed my retro tendancies by buying an Atari 7800 boxed and new in the post office shop window, along with some multipacks of games. To this day I rate the little cup style stick on the joypad as my fav input method. So much so that when I went back playing spectrum, I rewired it to work on it (no electronics, just switches).

An Atari Jaguar followed but then I found someone selling a second hand Amiga CD32. I remember friends watching Guardian in action and asking me if I ever got bored of it would I sell it to them.

Last console I bought was a nintendo Wii and you can see that the nintendo spirit is still fully behind fun over specs.

 

[Chinners]

1st?
A speccy 48 in 1983 (I think this was the year). My mum hated that I took over the house TV with it so,

1984 xmas, a nice Amstrad CPC464 with green screen monitor
Played with this till it died. I was too poor to get a new system, so spent my time at school on the BBC B's, Masters and finally the Archimedes.

1989 I got bought my first PC - a stonking 286 @ 12.5mhz with 1mb ram, a 40mb hard drive and a 256kb VGA graphics adapter. An Amstrad 2286/40 if memory serves me well. It was shortly upgraded to 2mb of ram. I also bought my first Soundblaster card for this - an SB1.6 with CMS chips. Woot! It's on this machine I got into the pc demo scene...

Then, in 1993, I got an Amstrad 4386SX. I think this ran at 20mhz, and had an 80mb hard drive. It was a tiny machine, and very tricky to upgrade. I had managed to squeeze a soundblaster 16 ASP into this beast by cutting off parts of the front panel. The sound card stuck out by about 5mm, but it worked!

In 1994 or 1995, I was given (yes, given!) an Olivetti 486sx/25. This was a so-so machine, but could cope with more demos than the 386.

My final bought PC system was a Dell Pentium 90 (with the div bug!), with a 200mb hard drive. This is the machine I really got into programming with, teaching myself the basics of 3d graphics (polys and vector balls), and I had written my own mod player for the gravis ultrasound (about 80% implemented). This PC spent most of it's time without the cover on, until I knocked over a can of coke onto the motherboard whilst it was powered on. A quick bath, and a few days drying out, and it worked just fine!

It was when I was using my P90 I got given an Amiga 500+ with lots of extra goodies (12mhz accelerator & fastram, scsi hdd). I think I gave the lot away as I never used it after the first few weeks. :double:

I have since just bought my own components to build up a PC, usually upgrading graphics cards, then cpu/main board, then graphics then mainboard and on and on. I usually stay a generation or so behind to keep costs down.

Ive had a voodoo, voodoo2, voodoo 3500, geforce, geforce 4, Radeon 9800, a pair of GT7900's, a ati 4850, an nvidia 460oc, and am now enjoying a Radeon 7890 oc. CPU wise - probably all of them, and am now using an AMD Phenom II x6 1100t

As for other computers, I have had in the past:
Sinclair spectrum +2 (a+b), Specky +3, Amstrad CPC464 (v1 & 2), 664, 6128 (a few of these), 6128+, C64, c64c, Amiga 500, A600, A1200, CD32. Atari Jaguar, Nintendo NES, SNES, N64, Cube, PS1, PSOne, PS2 Slim, XBox, XBox360, Apple PowerPC, Acorn RiscPC, Acorn A3000, Gameboy, GBA, DS, Wii, Psion 3, Megadrive 1 & 2, SMS 1 & 2, Gamegears, various x86 laptops... all of which have now been rehoused

To rebuild my ultimate retro collection, I think I only need a few machines:
* CPC6128+ (or a 664)
* A600
* Spectrum +3
All of which would need to be "pimped up to the max". If only time was kind, and space was plentiful.

 

[Templar]

1. Atari 2600 CVS (1982 - 1983)

2. Atari 65XE (1983 - 1985)

3. Amstrad CPC 6128 (1985 - ????)

4. Schneider EuroPC (1990 - 1991) (THE CRAP!!!)

5. Amiga 500 (1991 - 1994)

6. Amiga A1200 (1994 - FOREVER)

7. AmigaOne X1000 (2012 - ????)

Later years is a mix of buying and selling different consoles and Amiga computers mainly.

 

[Justin]

bought a binatone tennis B&W thing, owned masses of stuff since, never keep them long and move onto the next machine.

not a collector, just want to mess around with each system till i get bored.

[edd_jedi]

Some good replies. I think this thread is highlighting 2 distinct groups of Amiga/PC owners - those like myself that originally owned them while they were children so relied on their parents/birthdays etc to buy everything, and those that were old enough to buy their own hardware and so were obviously more able to afford upgrades.

That explains why I only knew one person with any kind of Amiga hardware upgrade back then, and he was quite a bit older than me. Myself and 4 or 5 mates had to get by on 'stock' machines. The only hardware I craved was an HD to save on monkey Island 2 disk swaps The standard 2MB RAM was enough for everything I did.

 

[protek]

Well my history with computers is as follows:
1. Vic-20 (1985-86)
2. Commodore 64 (1986-89)
3. Amstrad PC1512 (1989-90)

From 1990 various PC clones.

From 2003 various game consoles.

From 2005 various retro stuff.

[Azhrei]

1991 - Commodore 64. Up until 1999, various other Commodore hardware, including different model C64's and two C128's.

1996 - "Amstrad" 286 pc's, x2. Didn't use them much, but did take one of the monitors to use as an 80-column for the C128.

1997 - "AST 7133"pc. Pentium 133MHz, 16MB ram, 1.2GB HD. Used up until early 1999. Barely used as time went by, my C64/C128 setup quickly became my primary machine again. Hated this pc, it was crap.

1997 - N64. Threw this out last year and instantly regretted it.

1999 - "Compaq Presario" pc. K6-II 450MHz, 64MB ram, 6GB HD, Voodoo3 3000. Used up until 2002. Loved this pc to bits. Became my primary system and I finally retired my Commodore hardware.

2001 - "Purple" pc. Duron 650MHz, 128MB ram, 40GB HD, Voodoo5 5500. My first self-built pc. Remember it fondly.

2002 - GameCube. Gave away to a cousin. Not as regrettable as the N64 due to the Wii's backward compatibility.

2002 - "Thunderbird" pc. Athlon Thunderbird 1GHz, 512MB RAM, GeForce4 TI4200. Variously upgraded to AthlonXP 2000+ Palomino, AthlonXP 2500, Athlon 3000+, with graphics cards such as Radeon 9800 and X800 GTO.

2005 - "Nemesis" pc. Core 2 Duo E6420, 2GB ram, 250GB/1TB HD, Radeon 4870. Upgraded to Core 2 Duo E8400/8GB.

2006 - Wii. 320GB HD.

2011 - "Phantom" pc. Core i5 2500, 12GB ram, 250GB/2TB HD, Radeon 6870.

2011 - C64G. 1541-II x2. Not in use until I get a tv and the 1541 Ultimate.

2012 - Amiga 1200. Blizzard 1230 MKIII, 32MB ram. Sadly unuseable at this point.

2012 - Wii U. 2TB HD.

Names for pc's are from their manufacturer or the name of their cases (Nemesis is from the NZXT Nemesis Elite, for example). The "Thunderbird" series is one or two pc's that were upgraded several times, and I really don't remember their configurations beyond what I've included up there in the post.

And that's it, as far as I can remember. Not including handhelds, which basically add up to a couple of DS', a DS Lite and a 3DS. Couldn't be bothered to remember what years I got them.
