I had an Atari 520ST hand me down. North&South, Stuntcar Racer, Populous… so many great games
Me too! I had an STe.
Stuntcar Racer was awesome.
I also really liked Hunter but I only ever wondered around as I never really had a bloody clue as to what I was doing.
Mega Lo Mania was not too dissimilar to Populous
I grew up on an Amiga 500. Looking back, my dad had a great taste in software, I had a lot of the classics.
The first game I ever played on that was Silkworm, and the one that impressed me most was Shadow of the Beast. Terrible gameplay, incredible visuals and sound that, imo, still hold up today.
I taught myself English by playing Sierra adventure games. Used to ask my dad what every word meant until he brought an English dictionary.
I have been wanting a bog-standard 486DX66 or DX100 for some time now. Just a standard tower, 16-32Mb of RAM, Winchester drive with DOS 6 and Windows 3.11, that kind of stuff.
Unfortunately, anything local is either broken, in parts, or both.
I do have a 386, but it’s just not the same.
I’m too young to have use them back in the day but I’m looking to get an Amstrad CPC eventually.
