The 'how old are you thread' turned into one about old games systems and whatnot, so I started a proper one!
My first computer-me-bob was an Amstrad CPC 464, with an integrated cassette player for loading crap games, slowly (we're talking up to 15mins here), and it had a green screen monitor. In hindsight, it was shocking, but at the time I loved it.

Me too, right next to that was my 'pong' that my uncle handed down to me... The slight chance of a saving grace is that I was about 6 or 7 at the time!!! Am I too old toene playing TW??? Nah!!!

I had a TRS-80, took 20 minutes to load up frogger. Some games would never even load. Then I got an atari 2600.

The sega mega drive 2 was my first game system, I didn't get how to play most of the games but it was fun.

A hand wirewrapped clone of the Altair 8080. S-100 bus, hand entered boot loader in toggle switches. Just about the earliest home computer there was. My dad and I built it.
