no shame on that, we all started with 2 fingers typing, and i still do that form time to time.

exactly, and while there are keys combo to press for games / software…etc, knowing how to remap keys are basic to do things ur way.

I remember feeling like an absolute boss when I “built” my first 386 and played music from the CD tray while checking email.

Earliest memories of computer game was Bubble Bobble. I fucking loved that game. Can’t remember what computer it was on though.

Later memories include wolfenstein 3d, commander keen, crystal caves, prince of persia… man there were some good games.

You all make me feel old as fuck with my fond memories of Tunnels of Doom on the TI99/4A my brother bought. Before that we had a pong console, which was fun for a day.

Get off my lawn!

Command and Conquer, age of empires, and heroes of might and magic taught me how to stay up until 3 AM. Classics. I heard a new command and conquer may he coming out but haven’t seen any updates.

Speaking of Doom, first online game I ever played. Waiting for my buddy around a corner with the dual shotgun was literally a blast.

An unknown-name adventure game and a Star Trek shooting gallery game on an HP3000 minicomputer in 1983. :grin:

Only available on the operator’s console in the computer room so we had to play after hours.
