Gaming platforms

[Guest Scathane]

Which do you have/own? It's a PC and an X-box for me.

[Krytos]

Dito

 

I use my PC a lot more for games than my X-Box, though the X-Box is good for a quick game (generally arcade style)

[Trejiuvanat]

PC...

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

Just a PC for me. I can't really get into the consol games.

[Mad78]

PC(surely the crapiest one on earth ), Gamecube, PS2 and XBox

I tend to buy the consoles several months after they come out at the point where their prices become a quarter of what they were.

[AdmiralFishface]

PC (surely crappier than Mad's).

I used to have a Sega Mega Drive. I intend to buy an X-Box. Eventually.

[Mad78]

IMPOSSIBLE!!!

My pc is surely crappier than yours. How dare you try to nick the title of worst pc on the forum

I wonder if yours has a 575Mhz processor and a 12 Gb HD?

[AdmiralFishface]

Celeron 500 MHz, 8 GB HD. 128MB RAM.

Touché.

[Mad78]

Core Blimey! So it does exist.

[Trejiuvanat]

I use my laptop now, but my old Celeron 400Mhz, 96 MB RAM and 12 GB HDD is cathcing dust next to me, not too mention it is running (crashing) Win ME. And it still does have some games installed (Rebellion, Dark Force, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Age 2)... And they run... More or less...

[mawshiye]

I use a pc and an old, old, old NES

 

AdmiralFishface, I think I can beat you for the crappiest computer. I still have a 333MHz processor, with 3.3 GB hd. It's even running Windows 98!I am now the master of crappy computers!!!!!! Mwahahahaha!!!!

[Evaders99]

I still have a 486 sitting somewhere... what, I think its less than 100 mg HD....

I swear it still runs!

[Mad78]

I still have a computer running Windows 3.1 and how doesn't have a cd rom.

Who has the crappiest pc now?

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

Well, somewhere I have a computer that predates DOS. It has a mono-colour screen that displays everything in yellow, with a 13 inch monitor. Everything had to be run off of the old flopy disks (can't remember what the measurements were for those), because there wasn't enough HD space for even the most simple of tasks. Hell, I don't think it even supported word processing! All it had was a football and golf game. THe football was entirely numbers, as was the golf game until you got the "ball" in, which was displayed as a block sliding across a bar until it fell through a gap. Very impressive indeed!

[Trejiuvanat]

5.25" I still have a handful of them, and probably still work.

[the_mask]

GAT, that sounds like my old and legendary C-64. But this one didn't even have a hdd

Oh and yes, hundreds of 5,25" floppy discs. These were actually the days, when I first started altering games, since the "programming" handbook was not that helpful.

 

Ok, what is in my room ? The Pc, a notebook, an old NES, an old Gameboy, my second, dead PSOne, yup, that's it.

[Lord_La_forge]

C-64 all the way!

 

For all c64 lovers, this page is essential:

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

Hmmm, nope, even the graphics on the C-64 blew my old PCs away. Imagine a picture printed off on a DOT Matrix printer, then reduced in DPI (if that term can even be applied to such an antique), and displayed only in black and yellow. There was no shading or colour variance, just solid blocks. I sweaer the resolution was restricted to 10x12.

If I'm not mistaken, it was a Dutch computer. It was sort of a hand-me-down from my aunt, who married a Dutchman.

[Guest Scathane]

Dutch computer: that must have been a Tulip computer, then....

[Mad78]

Well GAT it6 seems you have won the competition of the worst pc. How does it feel to have such an inferior machine?

[Grand_Admiral_Thrawn]

For the moment, the contest is truly between you and Trej. While I still have the piece of junk, I'm not using it .

[Mad78]

Already told you you can't get rid of me so easily.

[wormie]

Getting back on topic... I have a PC (obviously) an X-Box, PS2, Gamecube, SNES and an NES not to mention almost every kind of GB known to man or woman..

[Mad78]

I have a Game Boy colr as well. I guess I would need a spade to get all the dust off

[wormie]

I forgot to mention my N64 .. i hve one of those as well.
