Oldschool!

I had one of those Pong, TV games for a while, got it from a St Vinnies for $1, it was actually pretty fun.

Growing up across the road from a deli caused me to become addicted to arcade machines at an early age.  I remember sneaking into the shop on the way to school for a quick round of space invaders.  

I still love arcade machines, the games and the machines.  I've owned several cabinets, It was unbelievable when I found them in the paper for a few hundread bucks.  Me and a mate used to share a flat with a gamesroom full of machines. Blacktiger is still awesome.  I even went on to put an A500 inside a Jamma cabinet, the hookup is easy and sraightforward.

Now I have a PC/arcade cab running u-name-it emulators.

Right, my collection isn't as big as some posted here, but I still like it.

I would still want to have a ZX Spectrum of sorts and a CD32 somewhere but anyway, here's the list:

Have owned:
1x C64 - Bought '89, Sold in '93.
Several PC's - Bought '96 and later. Sold/gave away most of em.
1x Gameboy - Bought '99 IIRC. Mario/Zelda goodness.
1x Playstation - Bought 'right after the pricecut'. Spend hours on FF VII.
1x GB Colour - Bought '01 IIRC. Coloury goodness. Tiny R-Type!
1x Gameboy Advance without Backlight - Bought 'when new'. Where's my character? I can't see!


Own, roughly in order of 'currentness':
2x C64 - Never sell Commodores. You'll end up with double the ammount!
2x C128D - One on my desk.
1x A500 - Bought in '91, works but the memory expansion died.
1x A2500 - Bought in '02. Actually, the label says so but it never had the extra cards.
1x A600 - Bought in '04. On my desk, needs a memory expansion because it sigh died.
1x A1200 - Bought in '95. In tower, with Blizzard 1230-IV and some HDD/CDRom.
1x Playstation 2 - Bought in '02. R-Type Final Rocks btw. So does Rez.
1x Gameboy Advance SP - Bought 'when it came out'. FF Tactics was nice, Castlevania rocks.
1x Gamecube - Bought in '03. Resident Evil 4 Rocks. Metroid Prime gives me motion sickness.
1x XBox - Bought in '04. Surprisingly little use for this one. Outrun 2 is nice from time to time tho.
1x Sony PSP - Bought in '05. Impressive device! Daxter & Lemmings rock. GTA ain't half bad.
1x Pentium IV (640) PC. 2GB ram, 160GB HDD, NVidia 7800GTX & Soundblaster XFi. On my desk.

The consoles where mostly an attempt to get 'Commodore Style' twitch games back in my life -which failed miserably, I ended up playing all the RPG's instead :-P-.

These days I just play on the good old Commodore's themselves when I feel the need to be destroyed by Project X -no special edition here-.

thank god for wireless networks

If it was so good, US soldier in charge of radio-communications must use special "anti-radiation" suite with a special helmet to use wireless phone ...
Some independant experts told not to use more than 3 minutes per day a GSM with such equipement ...
Think about that.
There were a high rate of leucemia here in a nursery school in France, due to a very close GSM emetor...
Lots of people around 40-50 years old have headaches while living too close of GSM emetors or too close of very high voltage power line... Some of them developp also cancer, but there is still no explanation why some have (a few), and why so much haven't...

All I can say, use wire as much as you can.
PS : I work for a big compagny of Phone services (inc. GSM), and there is a GSM emitor on my desk, but its power was lowered, much more that the one in activity on dwelling ...  :idea:
Keep the Faith !

My main computer is a Dell Optiplex GX 150 which I added an ATI Radeon 9250 graphics card, USB 2.0 and a SATA 100 GB hard drive into.  Running Ubuntu Linux 6.06 (Dapper Drake).

I am considering a new Toshiba Tecra Laptop which will also run Linux.  I have a Macintosh Mini with 10.4.x on it and of course my beloved A1200.

I would go totally Amiga if I can get expansion done because I like the OS and wish that 4 would get released.  I probably will keep Linux running because failing all else, it is my OS of choice on normal hardware.

Bloody hell.  I remember those days.  The faithful old Yamaha CX5M.  Fantastic computer and still I cannot find software that will let me write notation and playback sound and control it to the degree of this old 8-bit.

Thanks for the flashback.

Machines owned in the past:
- A500
