Forgetting the playstation?
 Okay, i'm not sure if it's just me, but every time i mention the word: playstation.people tend to get confused and say "ps2." then i tell them again. now i know that people sometimes shorted the ORIginal playstation to "ps" but STILL! come one now! im not that old- and i can't say,"oh, it wasn't their generation, so-" no!it WAS their generation! MY generation aswell, so for people to "NOT know" what the original playstation is, is alittle odd for me to hear. (as you can see)   anyway, carry on(JAG, E.D.M.)Guide to the Unknown

Yeah....I've got a Playstation, a PS2, a Dreamcast, an Atari 5400, a Nintendo Entertainment System, a N64 and a Wii....used to have a Comodore 64 and believe it or not a Texas Instrument computer (awesome). I don't know what happened to my old Pong machine though...
I'm actually surprised with how many people don't know what the Dreamcast was..R.I.P.DC |

I remember the Commodore! I used to stay up all nite on my Commodore 64 playing games like Zork, Jeopardy, Boulderdash, Jumpman, Pirate Adventure, Finding Dr Livingston.... There was even a 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' game, that playing Toontown reminds me of sometimes. Text adventures were my favorite. Soooo many great memories!! I used to play with making programs in Basic on it, too, lol. When I got stuck on a game, or found that there was an error in it, I would print the game code out on the dot matrix printer, find the relevant lines, and fix the game or cheat - whichever was necessary at the time, lol. It was so easy back then! Still have a couple in the attic that I hope to resurrect someday.
The first computer class I took at school was on a TRS 80....I used to make cute little input games for my friends to goof around with. Nowadays when people talk about Wii, PS2, Gameboy, etc. I have no clue. There are so many gaming options now it's almost impossible to keep up with. LOL things sure have changed a lot since then (though my gaming addiction hasn't). God, I feel old!! |

I still have a Sinclair Research Spectrum original with rubber keys (big in the UK in the mid 80's) I cut my Computer training teeth on the Apple IIe then moved onto Acorn machines, then Apricots. All sounded a bit fruity in them days lol
