Some comp that used little black cassettes... kinda like a smaller, thicker version of gameboy games, pitchblack. Dunno much 'bout it, as I was incredibly young back then, but my nephew made a program on it that asked 'bout the weather and such, then drew a triangle. After that, it was some computer with a green'n dark green screen, no HD, DD disks and floppy disks on which we played Block Out and Prince of Persia, and dad typed on using some very basic text editor. A bit after that one, dad got a 286 from his work, which was written off there, along with a 386 laptop with monochrome screen. That one was where I learned Dos on, having to call a friend how to start the games he gave us (Titus the Fox and Stunts)

First comp was a TI 99/4A with an external tape deck. Purchased an external floppy 5 1/4 later. They packed some killer text adventures in those tapes! I remember one called Pirates Cove. It had excellent 16 color images that went with each page of the adventure. I also later invested in T.E.X.E.D., it was a voice synth that could be attached via the com port in that back giving it text2voice support.
I sold it after about a year for a C64..... hey...... you couldnt beat a C64 at the time...... |
