Kane99 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 For me, my first initial time with a PC was back when my parents got a commodore 64 used from someone. They included a bunch of software and games. I wish I had that software yet, wouldn't mind going through it to see what I had. Anyway, that system didn't last long. Not sure why, but I hear that when they're older, they tend to die out faster. I got the thing in the mid 90s, so it wasn't new by any means. I had it in a shed for years after and I think we eventually tossed it. I regret that, as I wouldn't mind looking it over again to see if I can maybe even fix it. After that, the parents got a windows 95 pc, and that's when I started to enjoy the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was it like to use that thing? Also, What size was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empire Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I have always been a gaming PC user since the very start. Like anyone else when you are at a very young age in your family home with your home PC. My granddad had a very old 1994 Pc that he had that only get used once in a blue moon and didn't get into PC when I was 9 or 10 years old when I used them at school. Gaming wasn't a thing for me from the start till I learn more and more and just bang into some basic games. Remember every week I went down the road from my home to use the public online centre for two years playing games till 6 pm and then go home. Back then we did not have cable. XP was around then. Gaming became big when I had my own gaming PC rig in 2012 that can handle most games back then, At the time of getting a built PC in 2012 that's the 5th PC that I own. Had two Laptops and two desktops. Like I said 2004/2005 was when I first go into PCs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DudeThatsErin Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 My first game was The Sims 1 Complete Collection. I loved that game. That introduced me to PC Gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I wonder how many folks who started gaming in 1990s to 2010 time period still have lot of boxes. I guess after some time we end up forgeting which was the first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to go through all the names of the PC games I played as a kid before it comes back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Do you still own those boxes? I am starting to get rid of a lot of old things now. I am not going to keep things with me. That keeping old stuff around is affecting my lifestyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I began PC gaming in 2015, after a year I can only describe as the worst I've ever experienced in video gaming. I guess my tale begins in 2013 when I'd bought a Playstation 4 in advance to play The Elder Scrolls Online, except it saw delays. A few other games I wanted for the PS4 were also being delayed, so I eventually grew tired and traded it in toward an Xbox One to play my highly anticipated Sunset Overdrive, which didn't appeal to me as much as the Sunset TV marketing campaign did. Following disappointment after disappointment, pre-order after pre-order I eventually sold that to put toward a Wii U and enjoyed what few games I played on it. In March I decided it was high time to get a PC, which took me about nearly 2 months of research and a budget of just over £400 to custom build what was pretty much no better than a seventh gen console. Oh dear. I hadn't had many good experiences with that PC as the GPU once died on me. Eventually the motherboard gave up the ghost, and in less than 12 months after having it repaired the PSU began to make insufferable noises I wasn't going to tolerate much longer. I bought a brand new PC, named it Wizard Peak, and having upgraded it just last week I've renamed it to Nosferatu. Oh, and I should add I've since played The Elder Scrolls Online. It's alright.

skyfire Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I have not been able to remember some of my old games. For many reasons I can't keep up with various games that I have played over the years. It is just not regular for my mind as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I remember i was around 4 or 5, it all started with flash games, moved later to the oldies such as GTA 3, VC, Max Payne and the good old 18 wheels of steel series ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
