Swellick Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 When and why did you get into the computer and computer games?For Me:Well I've been playing computer games since I was 3 - how many of you have played Bag Man - he it was great for a 3 year old. I got into computer stuff (outside of games) when I was 13. Why, well because it was interesting (funny how one can never explain why his/her profession intrests them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkAngelBGE Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I got a 486 when I was 8. Played some old games like the "Keen" series with it, which started it all out. Atari is what I used a lot either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I've been playing computer games for as long as I can remember, ever since I was very young. I'll have to ask my Dad about it tonight, he'll remember more clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacker Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 About 7 years ago we got our first computer, and I've been repairing computers for about 3 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Has anyone seen the movie "Short Circuit"? Ever since I saw that movie I was interested in computers and that was about 16 years ago. I didn't start programming until I was 15, that was 7 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkT Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 My aunt worked in the trade (tech support) and we got a hold of one of the early laptops (Toshiba, orange monochrome screen...); shortly thereafter I started programming... that'd be about 11-12 years ago now.

Murchad Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Oh, I have always liked computers. Someone gave us a C64 we had that awhile. Then got a 486 50mhz (we still use it alot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acumen Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I've spent most of my (un)natural life behind a screen, starting with the Spectrum 48k (yes, that's memory, not a product number), and later upgraded to the almighty Spectrum 128k. So we're talking Manic Miner, etc, with pixels the size of your fist (but then, I had very small fists back then).As for programming, that started with GW-Basic on our first PC (an XT), but I dabbled a little on the Amiga 500 before that. My father did some programming on the Spectrum, though (educational programs for the kids, mainly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaas Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 First one was a 486, about 12 years ago. Yep Commander Keen was cool, or Wolfenstein 3D! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
