Don't ask me what year this was, but my Dad bought the family our first computer game. Pong and hockey. Pong had a line down the center and hockey had a plastic overlay for the TV tube as I recall.
By today's standards it sucked large! But back then we were the envy of the neighbourhood!It was made by Magnavox Television. My parents had a TV store when i was a kid. We had one also. Other than Pong, it sucked lol...
I had all those on my Apple II in the early 80's. I think I even had pong for my computer! LOL.Atari 400 for me, late '70s, I think? Star Raiders, PacMan, and Missile Command cartridges were all I could afford after buying the game console. Took a couple months before it started collecting dust.
It launched my career! I became a computer nerd and the rest is history.My boss back then had an Amiga which I believe was a Commodore product. He used to rave about it, as it was more than a games computer, or so he said. I lost interest in the game computers pretty quickly, as prices rose, but performance didn't.
And Univac and Burroghs as well.Me too. IBM and Amdahl mostly. Not Commodore 64.
Nope, just IBM/Amdahl. NCR, maybe.And Univac and Burroghs as well.
They actually wanted a place that looked like a telecom room. They had to reverse the swing on the doors so he could kick them in.I think our computer room security was tad more robust than that.
IIRC?
Wow, I know someone that was almost a famous movie extra? Infamous? Cooool.They actually wanted a place that looked like a telecom room. They had to reverse the swing on the doors so he could kick them in.
And although I was only 10 feet away, I wasn't in the movie. So no autographs!
