    Commodore 64 checking in, but my first video game 'console' was Pong.

    Even before arriving to Houston, Texas, United States and America, I had a Pong back in Mexico and then "upgraded" to an Atari 1600. :eek: PONG is not a computer you actually messed with, SeƱor ReyChita.

    I remember my first computer. It didn't have a screen yet. I think it was just a typewriter.

    my first experience with computers was in school with black and green screens. We played math games and i always loved those (#s came naturally to me). Anyways my parents bought my brother, sister, and I a windows 95 computer and I played heroes of might and magic 2 on there. Probably some of the best memories I have of gaming as a kid. From there the Internet came and my Allah, has the world changed since that bad boy came into existence. I'd say the biggest jump in computers came around 2000 when the Internet became a familiar territory for everyone.

    I always liked computers growing up but my parents could never afford one. Finally, when I was in 10th grade my parents gave me and my sister one for our Christmas present but with no internet :(. Thankfully I had a friend who was really good with computers and he would hook me up with games and p*rn and stuff. Anyways, once I moved out on my own I was able to get internet and stuff and have been hooked ever since. Thinking about going to school for Computer Science, but still got a long way to go.
