Most of the games can be played right from the website. Thanks for the link.
 

Awesome memories! Thank you.

We had an 8088 with a 20MB hard drive and we thought that was a Big H.D..

Then we switched to a PC XT Turbo that had a switch to change it from 4mHz to 8mHz

All I had was a Commodore Vic 20 :laughing7: but it was cool.
 

My first computer was a Timex Sinclair 1000

Ahhh! The Sinclair doorstop! Fun little toys! Nobody wrote software for them & there were only like three cartridges for them. Did you have the little printer that used calculator paper? Gave mine to a friend at work that was using them to control robots.
 

I forgot about the Sinclair. Back in the early 80’s a manager where I worked started using the Osborne. I think it was the first portable computer the size of a suitcase.

I tried a few of the games. Still as bad at it as I ever was. Can never get past the first stage. My kids got a kick out of the website.

Actually I don't know if it was first or last, but Commodore had almost the same setup. Danged thing weighed a ton! Don't think they made many, remember looking everywhere to find one in the day. Oh wait the Commodore one came with just 5.5" floppy but it was easy to put a second in the disk storage slot.
 

We also had a “Radio Shack TRASH 80”

The Osbourne or Kay Pro was the first "Luggable" computer. I have a TRS-80 in my basement that I am converting to run a Raspberry Pi with an LCD monitor. I had to put it on hold when my basement flooded back before Christmas.
