Playing Elite in the BBC Micro at my friend’s house because the internet didn’t exist.

How fucking old are you people ?
(About the same amount as me, I guess).

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Not as old as my comment would imply! I guess anything pre-internet seems really old to anyone born during its existence.

Average amount. My friend had donkey Kong on his Commodore 64, and it was so cool, but we had jet set willy on our spectrum 48k, and a bunch of pokes from computer magazines to give you infinite lives or make you immune to monsters or make them disappear. Happy days.

Our colour chart for JSW was getting dogeared, so one day Dad took it to be colour photocopied and laminated. Legend.

Ok, I've been scrolling a while but I finally found a comment that sounds like gibberish to me

I'm '94

EDIT: Ah, I see. UK-specific. I have lots of old stuff around the house from my parents and grandparents. Won't stumble upon this one in Romania unfortunately lol
