Oh, yeah the 2600. My first console experience as well. I also had a C64. But I loved my IBM PC XT. 4.77 MHZ, 640K (with full-length AST 6-pack card), 10 MB hard drive and one 5.25" disk drive. Oh, and a CGA adapter card (full length as well).DeadPoolX wrote:I remember the Commodore 64. I never had one (my Dad got us an Apple IIc before moving to a 286), but my brother and I wanted a C64 or an Amiga, because the best games were on them at the time.
The first console I ever played on was an Atari 2600. I was really young and can recall mispronouncing "Grand Prix" (an Atari 2600 game) as "Grand Pricks." Obviously, that'd be a different game entirely.
I think Maia had an Intellivision, but I don't know for sure.
As for Get Lamp itself... I was interested, but the price seems a little steep at $45.
My fondest memory of Zork on the XT was every time you'd get past a puzzle, the computer would pause a moment and spin up the floppy drive (presumably to get some new data for the next room, puzzle, etc). Great memories.
