I started with the homemade dick-smith paddle control 2 colour batton tennis ( was 2 crappy controlls with like volume knobs for left and right and a red reset button for the fire button) as far back as i can remember. I then got the Vic-20 and the amstrad (lol , if i remember rightly the vic-20 had 8 colours ..lol), then progressed to the commodore-64 and got into programming and had my part in the production of a easily programable game language called AMOS / for the C-64 ( I earned a quiet few bux from that too ! ). I then got into the Commodore Amiga computers , right from the Amiga500, then the Amiga2000, then the Amiga1200 (which was the best of them imo , I had that on the internet when PC's were still 386's ! ). Ah the good old days , the gfx on those pc's for their days was amazing imo , tiny programs with huge results. It's a shame the the Commodore/Amiga was realy a European ( Big in Germany and England ) based pc , it made it hard to get software for these pc's towards the end of their days / sorta when Microsoft took over with with windows 98 and so on becoming the norm.... And that's still something that bugs me to this day ! - Microsoft always claiming that they produced windows , yet realy they just ripped off the windows/workbench theme from the Amiga !.

Was recently down in melbourne and at the australian centre for moving image centre they had a exhibition called "GAME ON" had all video games from space invaders and pac man thru to online stuff and Wii's.
Oh so many memories, C64, atari, hand held donkey kong. Those were cool gaming consoles. |

"You have selected the 9 iron, may i suggest the putter....You have selected the 9 iron" !! classic

Anyone else go looking for the old glass coke bottles at building sites etc to cash in for 20c to play Space Invaders at the local shop?
No litter around back in those days Then a few years later you could get it on your own TV via Vic 20 and C64 I still have Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr on handheld Nintendo in the cupboard somewhere I think, I haven't had batteries for them for years but, probably don't work anymore A few years back I was in a Museum in the UK and it had an original fridge sized Space Invader machine and this guy was trying to explain to his young kid that this was the same sort of thing the kid played on his mobile phone, the kid was not believing him at all. |
