This was also the first game I played on my OWN computer, around the age of 6 or 7, an at that time already extremely outdated, Olivetti M24SP with amber screen, was a beautiful and VERY computery-computer.
Sopwith, AllyCat, 3Deamon, Digger and PCMan were the games I fondly remember from it. There were some floppy disks, but at the time I didn't know how to use them, and could only use the few things that were on the MFM harddrive.
Later I got a C64, which, gaming wise, was a huge upgrade, I bought it from a guy in my town who was saving for a Pentium.. :)
- stevage 2y agoI had a similar experience. Also Boulderdash and Moonpatrol for classic CGA gaming...
- pan69 2y agoWe got an Olivetti M24 in the home around 1986 (I was about 13 years old at that time). It had a CGA color monitor, 2x 5 1/4" floppy drives and no hard disk. It ran MS-DOS 3.3. Sopwith along with Alleycat, Digger, Centipede, Winter/Summer Games, Lode Runner, Bruce Lee, were just some of the first games I played. But I looked with envy at my friends with C64's and one of them even got an Amiga 500 around 1987. I learned programming with GW-BASIC on that M24 machine.
