Nintendo's were pretty rare and only the richer kids had them. The only kid with a C64 was the son of a rich doctor who owned like 4 houses and he hated it because no store actually sold any games for it and pirating games is hard when you're the only kid you know who owns one . |
Well the ones from East and West Flanders were always a bit behind on us from Antwerp
In 88 my elementary school was already doing computer classes, which was pretty much 2 hours a week doing some Math/language programs and having some platform game I can't remember and later commander keen as a reward when you got done early.
But yeah, my childhood differed a bit from yours. Most of my friends/schoolmates and myself we owned more than one of the popular consoles/desktop that time. We had quite a bunch of nerds in the area so it wasn't that hard for us to get Floppydemo's and such We usually bought games by the Floppy/Diskette boxes. Each month were usually a few boxes with the new releases (Twas handy having an elder sis financing those xD)

I started gaming on Commodore 64 when I was about three or four years old. Oh man, I still remember Green Beret and the infinite loading time of Bubble Bobble. Yeah, unfortunately I only had a cassette loader so it was s....l.......o....w.

in Belgium and Netherlands MSX was quite popular and through the msx clubs it was easy to get copies of any games.

Binatone TV Master (i think, long time ago) > Vectrex > C16 > Atari ST > IBM PC (Intel 8088 @ 4.77MHz, monochrome/green monitor) > and so on ...
Have good memories of them all, but C16 stands out in the group. First time needed to learn some basic English, fist time with BASIC, going to the black market with a blank tape to get some sick games or better yet tape them off the pirate radio station on old Kasprzak. Friend next door at the time had a ZX Spectrum, still can't get some of those games out of my head. His dad had to load the games for us since his tape reader was a silver Sony boombox that needed head tracking, bass and treble adjustments for different titles (lol). Other friend had Atari at that time, cant recall the model. Don't remember much about that besides Pit Stop being awesome, long ass loading times and (!) too many times. Atari ST was a mind blowing upgrade, still can't believe how good some of those games looked, and GUI! Mind blown. IBM was a different beast altogether. Spent countless of hours playing Microsoft Flight Sim. It couldn't get more real.
Thanks for the memory lane trip.
