Remember when you were young..

[Iiro]

.. you sat on the computer.

Discuss pls.

[VerminScum]

It all seemed so magical.

[spaj]

I would browse Tamagotchi sites all day and would gasp, in awe, at the beautiful .gifs of the evolutionary stages they went through.

[CuntMuppet]

We had AOL for some reason i'm still unsure of, but they had this thing where you'd put in some information and they made a story based around you. I beat the Spice Girls in an epic space battle that involved me firing CDs at them.

[Tweek]

I'd play for hours on end with my hands and feet, pretending they were people. I didn't have a computer.

[Glowstick]

I'd play simple, indistinguishable computer games with no graphics whatsoever, and get off on them. The nostalgia of games such as Zool, Tanktics and Silver still hit me. The old games were the best.

[Ocellatus]

I'd hold down the z key, watching in awe of the white characters appearing on the blue screen.

[BlackHood]

Nothing beats MS-DOS Chess. 4 Floppy disks per game.

[Tweek]

Oh actually I remember that old old computer. I don't know if it had windows or anything, it was one of those green ones which we just played DOS games and shit on.
Classic.

[Urser]

Hours and hours of Impossible Missions, Karnov, Boulder Dash, and Gunfright.

[VerminScum]

You're still a little kid!

[Tyler_Legrand]

I got ill and then became deaf.

[abbey]

When I was 8, all I did on the computer was go on Neopets and Stupidvideos. Until I moved on to Runescape, but I won't even get into that.

[Ercoledi]

Midnight Rescue, Lemmings, and that screensaver with the train. :hmm:

[Benjaman]

Talk to people in the AOL chats, pretending I was much older than I was.

Not much has changed.

[Matterialize]

Neopets.

[Tyler_Legrand]

Change 'older' to 'younger'

[CalculatePie314]

My friend and I thought it would be funny to visit poop.com or poop.net, one of the two. That's when we first discovered porn.

[paraskeet]

My mom was a bitch and never let me go on. Now I rub it in her face by sitting here all day posting on a internet forum.

[cptlol]

You sure got her, show her who's the boss!

I was 12 before I started doing things with computer. I was an outside-kid.

[Allen]

Doom and Wolfenstein! I beat those fucking games when I was 5.

I remember being 10 and waiting forever for Joe Cartoon and stick figure sites to load because we still had a 56k modem. It was around that time that I found SFDT, which eventually lead me to Stick Suicide, which has lead me to posting here, in this thread, right now.

[jewishjosh]

Neopets and fucking Putt-Putt!

[dragoninforcer]

Tamagotchi and Find Carmen Sandiego.
until i learned about porn.....ooooooo......

[InnerDemon]

There was this site with daily pictures and you could download 5 free pictures per day. And I would download them then set them as screensaver and watch the pictures for hours. I still remember the difficulty of choice because you could only download 5 and there were thousands of superb pictures :hmm:

*Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego

[Casalen]

I remember computers at school, since my family couldn't afford one of our own at first. It all seemed to be natural to me, as I became sort of a secondary tech guy on a close level to the official one. I recall Oregon Trail, various Munchers games and Warcraft which a friend and I installed on some of the computers when no one was looking. Later we had to uninstall those because the instructors didn't understand what was happening.

[DieHard]

My childhood was spent playing N64 and ps2 with a buddy of mine.

[DoctorButt]

I play video games alot and I never played computer games until I was 14. So, I was mostly just playing GTA: SA and Halo Combat Evolved.

Oh, Neopets and Runescape as well.

[Amazingly]

I played my NES until I was 12, then we got an old compaq from a guy my dad was doing floors for, and shortly after got free NetZero. Porn at 6kbps was still so magical. And 6 wasn't a typo, that's the speed we were capped at.

[Dejarr]

Neopets.
^
Also, MapleStory... In fact I almost want to play it again now that I think about it. x.x

I remember that, actually I might have the disk somewhere still. Fuck. But yeah, I didn't discover the wonders of the internet until I was 13, because we had a very very slow internet.

[Blxorz]

Runescape, Habbo (http://forums.explosm.net/showthread.php?t=3290 read that article, its funny as), Neopets, Moshi Monsters (moshimonsters.com for those who haven't heard of it) all of those kiddie kind of games. Ahhh, good times :hmm:

[gizzalove]

First it was Barbie.com and other girly dress up websites. Then habbo and neopets. I still go on all of those websites.

[timbot]

5.25" floppy disks of Oregon Trail and Number Munchers and Word Munchers. Also some game where you drove a car and had to follow the directions someone gave you. Learning was so much fun. Later there was Where in the World/Where in Space is Carmen Sandiego. Why in the hell did we all think screen savers were so cool back then? "Wow, flying toasters!" "Oooohh...this one has squiggly lines!"

[Blxorz]

You are like a parrallel universe version of me :aaa:

Did you ever happen to run around your lounge room in red underwear making guitar noises pretending to be a member of Red Hot Chilli Peppers?

[InTransit]

Back in my day, we had lego and cars and barbies. We were so cool when we got our Atari and the Commodore 64. Then when I was in High School, we learnt all about the internet. It's this amazing information where you can connect to people all over the world, and search any information you want. Apparently if you're teacher asks you to search information on endangered animals, just adding .com to the isn't a good idea. Thankfully web filters didn't exist in these days.

[Chriz]

Ah, playing Delta Force 2 for years. Excellent. Still the best FPS ever.

[Putzmeister]

I know there's a thread for this. I can't remember what it is called, but you're skiing down a hill. And there are obstacles and an Abominable Snowman that chases you. God I played that game for hours. God how I loathed it at times.

[InnerDemon]

Same here, I remember playing Mortal Kombat 1 or 2 at school.

I recall how, after solving all the missions, I would shoot my team mates or the hostages just for fun. :ahe:

[Fruitality]

I remember my dad looking up pokemon websites for me. Also Lode Runner, Lemmings, Doom, Duke Nukem, Sim City 2000. Good times.

[Acciaccatura]

I used to wait 15 minutes for each level of Batman to load on our Commodore 64.

Now I feel old. :wail:

[Blxorz]

Robocop on an Amstrad

God I'm old.

Wow, that IS old.

[Chriz]

Yeah, the thing was second hand from my Uncles, command line driven, and the games where on huge floppy disks. It was playing a few games, or making a speadsheet.

[timbot]

How old is an Amstrad? I've never heard of that before.
I vaguely remember playing my big brother's Odyssey2. I guess it doesn't actually count as a computer, but it sort of does since it was programmable somehow.
This was before my elementary school put in its amazing Apple II-e computer lab.

[revz]

I remember playing prince of persia on my dad's office computer. I even remember when he instaled some version of windows. It was like 12 floppy disks and shit took for ever.

Also remember playing asteroids and that snake game, but it was in an old shitty computer that only displayed like 2 colors.

[Chriz]

I had something similar to this model, this line started in 1984 and stopped in 1990.

[BreakTheWalls]

Playing Alex Kidd in Miracle World on the Sega Master System was the first game I had ever played, and I can still remember all the music from it. Duhnuh, duhn duhn duhhn, dun dun dun!

Then it was StickDeath.com for a little bit before typing it wrong and going on SFDT.com instead and discovering Joe Zombie. Back then it was the most awesome thing on the intarwebs

[Chriz]

Alex the Kidd, SEGA Master System, I still have that in my parents attic alongside the Mega Drive.

[BreakTheWalls]

I have 2 Master Systems still around for some odd reason (one had Alex Kidd, the other had Sonic). I still have all my old consoles around my room as relics. The wires will probably still be around but doubt they could still be played on anymore. :wail:

[Putzmeister]

BreakTheWalls, where are you in your avatar? It looks like a jail cell. With animal print sheets, and purple curtains that is.

I once went to Habbo and there was a bunch of people saying that the pool was closed due to aids.

Skiifree? Or something like that, I know what you're on about. Only just remembered about it but I used to spend so long on that game, always hated that fucking snowman.

[Putzmeister]

SkiFree that's it! Oh lord how that has annoyed me not knowing the name of it!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ea/Skifree_yeti.png

You bastard!

[Mental]

I used to play on the computer all the time...off. And I always played that rodent game, where you had to avoid the cats by pushing blocks. I also played Pipe Dream, too. Ski Free, I would always jump when that queer thing called a bear would eat me.

[Grunka-Lunka]

Neopets,I also had a Barbie game,when I was younger my computer really sucked,froze everyday.So my memories aren't good.Oh and I also loved watching the screen saver all day.

[Quadros]

There was a star trek game and the original duke nukem, Lemmings and a chess game. I was pretty much in love.

[paraskeet]

5.25" floppy disks of Oregon Trail and Number Munchers and Word Munchers.

Holy shit, number munchers! I had that game when I was younger and I would play it all the time. I used to get so excited in elementary when they would let us go to the computer lab just because of those games.

[Septem]

Putt-Putt also! And I had a SEGA pack of games from the 90s, like 100 of them. Those side scrollers. Angry Video Game Nerd talks about a lot of the games I have played. Man they sucked.

[Amazingly]

The original Oregon Trail was the shit. I was the only person in my class that could ever live to the end, keep in mind I was in kindergarten. I was like the most badass guy around because my family always made it to Oregon.

[BreakTheWalls]

I once went to Habbo and there was a bunch of people saying that the pool was closed due to aids.

I remember one time on Habbo when a bunch of guys wearing pink shirts were cornering guys a lot saying "Bobba" several times. Weird.

[Allen]

I also remember playing Paper Boy and other such random fucking assorted games as Push-Over (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push-Over), Chessmaster 2000, and RoboCop 3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop_3_(video_game)#RoboCop_3) on my old IBM.

There were two sets of games on that computer. The crappy ones in Windows which were education tools, and the awesome games mentioned which were only accessible through the DOS prompt.

You are like a parrallel universe version of me :aaa:

Did you ever happen to run around your lounge room in red underwear making guitar noises pretending to be a member of Red Hot Chilli Peppers?

Not exactly that. But I did know all of the words to Suck My Kiss at age 5. Singing that in front of my parents was when I first learned that fuck is a bad word.

[Septem]

I sang a song, where you show with your fingers what you're singing. It's like: A hill, A valley, a hole, a johnny. You make a hole with your index and thumb and with the other index you go inside when singing. I did that before my mom all the time, didn't really know what's wrong with it.

[Chriz]

Cannon Fodder FTW

[BreakTheWalls]

I played that game on both the Mega Drive and later on the Amiga. When I saw the Amiga's opening credits...
PiYuq6Ac3a0
Goddamnit was I in awe. That was when generational gaps were tremendous breakthroughs in technology. Cardboard cutout models and CD audio sounded like the best thing in the world at that time. :hmm:

[KaOzWomBaT]

My Brother still plays that game .. i never did though.

[Ikin]

Zoo Tycoon. :hmm:


o and i typed tlike this lol.

[laugh]

I played that one game with the purple car, I forget what it was, but the purple car had eyes and a mouth, could speak, and went on wacky adventures. Also, Pajama sam.
Those are both for little kids, and I played both.

[Pelican Man]

Earliest I remember was some dinosaur colouring game, or 'Stunt Driver', the graphics in that were so awesomely bad. And the sound of glass shattering... brilliant.

Not long after that though, and much more memorable... The Incredible Machine.

[shawnshank]

The earliest back I can remember is having an old ASUS motherboard with an AGP slot. This was back when I knew little about computer components. I remember using a Geforce 4 graphics card, and it being new at the time, I think this was back in 2003.

My best computer escapade memories come from excite chat, aol chat and newgrounds. The thing is with all the new sites I browse today it's extremely difficult to remember what I've been doing since then. I remember playing America's Army as well.

Oh and Unreal tournament. And Wild Metal Country for Windows 98. Oh and who can forget all those hours wasted on runescape. The first computer game I ever played was Oregon Trail.

[Jah]

I used to play this weird bunny game. You were able to chose between 3 different types of bunnies, one was muscular, the other was like averaged out in all ways and the last one was like super slinky, Well it was all about killing some little bug things or soemthing, but i remember wasting my whole childhood on that game.

[Adamski]

School was ten times as awesome when they had computer games.

Hip-hip Zooooombinis!

[koots]

I played Oregen Trail whenever I had the chance to go on. Grade 3 was awesome because we got to play the newer version in class. I have both versions sitting on top of some porn I borrowed from my neighbor lady.

Also I remember playing this Mickey Mouse game, some game with a Jamaica kid, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, there was a bunch of ones my dad had. And there was a math game my dad got, some weird little gooey creature was on it and you had to do all these math equtions to get to the top of a mountain/pyramid.

[Arthenon]

I think the earliest I can remember using the computer was beating the entirety of Doom at my uncle's house with nothing but the chainsaw because I couldn't figure out how to change weapons at about 5 or 6. Played Oregon Trail an ungodly amount. Stopped fooling around on the computer until about 13 when I discovered porn, then Runescape. Now it's mostly work related that I'm on a computer.
