Sorry, But I dont like this show.

[von - post turned in to almost giving you my entire computer history, haha, so bear with me]

God, now you are starting to show yours and my age, haha. I actually didn't even know what a TRS-80 was, till I looked it up, well, tried looking up Tandy 1, and came up with the TRS-80. I know you have some years on me now, quite a few. But, Zork, makes complete sense now, considering the platform it was made on.

And, Sierra, oh yes. Main titles I remember playing that were Sierra, were, The Incredible Machines, Nascar Racing, and the original Hoyle games. Know, there are a bunch more, but, these are pretty much what I had on the computers I had gotten, well, was the house computer. Mind you, I was, about 6 or 7 working with my first 386, from my uncle. Then moved to a 486/33, had 4MB of ram, but upgraded to 8, and a 20MB HDD, when my uncle upgraded to a 486/66, with a cartridge-loaded CD-ROM drive :)

I really wish I could remember what year it was, but, I will never forget the year at Christmas when my uncle had gotten the first Sound Blaster for the computer, well, mainly me. :) That was a huge leap for me, had already played Wolfenstein 3D and Doom with no sound. Then, when we upgraded from DOS, to Windows 3.1, he gave us a CD-ROM drive; and we are evolving in the computer world :) And, of course, eventually upgraded to Windows 95. And yes, when he had given us a joystick, I played some Wolfenstein and Doom with it (when we still didn't have a mouse), haha. Strafe key was binded to a button on the base.

And, oh god, yes, Duke Nukem, well, 3D for me. Didn't actually know of the original Duke Nukems some years later when I explorered the DN3D CD, and saw them on there, plus, Rise Of The Triad, which was only the shareware, and still to this day, haven't gotten to play the full version, but bet you have. There is, and still will be and itch for that game :) Duke Nukem 3D was the first time experiencing "lag" with a game, but, those were good times. I almost want to say 33Mhz was the minimum system requirements for the game.

Also, one last game that always sticks with me, that no one seems to remember, is, Redneck Rampage :) Never beat it, but, god damn, has to be the funniest FPS I have ever played. Writing about it, makes we want to track down a copy.

"Hold on to your butt!"

Oh, and we can't forget about the original Lemmings, :) That was a game that was on the 386 we had.

And, of course, Atari [ brother had one, he is 38 now, you are probably around there, i'm guessing :) ], NES, first console I owned was a SNES, then a PSX. Then moved on to Half-Life, and expansions, when my mom bought a new computer, ahhh, pre-Steam days :) Then, Max Payne, played the Demo on my PC Gamer Disc before it was out, and got it a couple days after release, and the rest of my PC and gamer days are history. Am a complete computer nerd, went to ITT for a year, and plan to go back, once I am in a little bit more stable place in my life.

After talking about this, I can't believe I got rid of my PC Gamer collection when I moved again, plus, PC Accelerator's. From about 97 to 03-04. Jut was too much of a pain to move, but now regret it.

Still have an old PC sitting, and, might break it out and make it either a 95 or 98 machine. Only windows versions that run TRUE DOS, besides actually running strait DOS, but, duh, haha. Well, and of course 3.1, and ME, but, god, don't even get me started on ME.

Thank you for bearing with me von, but, probably added to the trip down memory lane.

"Now, this is fun." - One of my favorite opening lines ;)


Also, have heard of 8 Bit theater, and almost want to say, I saw the site before Code Monkeys, but not fully sure. But, will definitely take another look soon, thanks.
