Comment on it was a waste of time

Fun fact: me and two other guys were the first ever at our school to be allowed to take our written exit exams on a computer. We had to bring our own and, this being 1999, that meant desktop pcs with huge clunky crt screens 😁

My parents got laptops from work back in 95. But a home computer was of course still a fair bit cheaper and far more powerful.

Yeah, my brothers and I mostly used the family computer for gaming, and putting the words “gaming” and “laptop” together was a total joke back then 😄

My Dad had a Mac which made it even worse but some of my fondest childhood memories are around playing Full Throttle on that thing. Though Hocus Pocus on my mother’s windows 95 PC is probably my first exposure to PC gaming. But I’ve played NES since I could physically grasp a controller!

With my brothers and me, it was Commodore 64 (Bubble Bobble, Giana Sisters, International Karate, Rockstar Ate My Hamster and many more), then Amiga 500 (Outrun, the first Formula 1, Defender of the Crown and others that don’t come to mind right now) and THEN pc gaming 😁
