Had a Vic 20 and a Commodore 16.

asked my parents for am Amiga for xmas, so they bought a 464+ because it came with a monitor. Obviously i disowned them.

I can't really pick one since they followed closely to eachother, but the list: Atari 2600, C64, 286&386 and the Amiga 500. Those were all a part of my first years of gaming/computering.

Updated the list.

I remember that my brother had a spectrum, a schneider cpc 464, atari 2600 and c64 (but that one very late, after my amiga500, just because of nostalgia reasons) but I was just 5 or so at that time. I grew up with his Atari PC 3 (8088, 8MHz with turbo button Cool )

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

I remember that I stayed several years without owning anything (used to play every single day at my friend's house, who had a C64 and Nes), until in 1993ish my parents and uncles decided that my gypsy life had to stop and bought me an IBM PC, which started this long addiction. Razz

At first I thought "Vectrex" but that was white IIRC.. so perhaps it was the CPC Amstrad? That used to come with its own monitor and the first releases were green-scale, no colour.

Started out with the C64, but didn't grow up on it as such. I only played games on it Smile
Started doing 'grown up' things with the Amiga like learning programming and so on, started out with Amiga Basic. And then Amiga Pascal I think. Played a fair bit with Amiga E as well.

I think you may be right, ty! Very Happy

I distinctly remember playing Moon Buggy, found some footage on youtube. In color instead of green ofc, but it's definitely the game I played.

Called my father, was a CPC6128 Very Happy
