Haha, to me it was really all the same. I thought Intellivision was the best of the 3 (but that's just bias cause we owned one lol), but I honestly think Atari had way better games than Coleco, for the most part. Maybe even better games of the 3. And believe me, I grew up anything but rich.. I'm not sure how my parents scraped together money for it, but somehow we got that, and some ancient computers (well, ancient now, but fairly cutting edge at the time) I was a huge fan of the "Gold Box" games. I played those originally on my friend's C64 though. That was another great system too. He had Bard's Tale as well, but I never really got into those.. absolutely played the shit out of the D&D Gold Box games though.. I eventually had them on PC as well. The stories were always so good, being based on books, but I really liked the combat in them and could spend hours just creating/cusomizing my character Hah, just turned 50 this year.
LOL, the "onion belt" thing is a joke from the Simpsons.. (and Matlock was too, but that was an older TV show that usually older people watched). I'm not a big Simpson's fan, but both are things Abe Simpson (grandpa simpson) referred to in the show. I was just making a joke about how old I am ;)
oh that's too funny Dang you got nearly 10 years on me, I've never heard of the Commodor or C64 either lol.. is that primarily Canadian?
I'm surprised that you haven't heard of the Commodore 64 (aka C64)... it was a pretty well known computer, but it definitely is a little bit before your time (not much though, which is why it surprises me you haven't heard of it). I think my friend probably still has his (LOL) but we played the thing even as late as the early 90s. Commodore is/was an American company though, and it was pretty big in North America. There were a couple different Commodore computers, and then eventually they started making the "Amiga"... not sure if you've heard of that one, but it was a system that really seriously advanced music production on computers back in the day (among other things). I'm not sure if you've seen them, but maybe 5 years ago or so those Mini-NESes came out, and Mini-Snes, and other consoles.. essentially they're some sort of miniature version re-released by original manufacturers with several games on them and running some sort of emulation. Anyways, they re-released the C64 not too long ago too. I never ended up grabbing one, but they were pretty great gaming computers back in the day.. there are some software C64 emulators out there too.
japanese spelling "oji" pronounced ohgee... means uncle, grandpa is ojisan, but if grandfather is close you can call him oji (ohgee) – If your relationship with your grandpa is particularly close, you could use his name followed by the honorific “oji” (おじ), which means “uncle.” For example, if his name is Takeshi, you can call him “Takeshi oji.” https://howtosayguide.com/how-to-say-my-grandpa-in-japanese/
The Commodore 64, also known as the C64, is an 8-bit home computer introduced in January 1982 by Commodore International (first shown at the Consumer Electronics Show, January 7–10, 1982, in Las Vegas).[4] It has been listed in the Guinness World Records as the highest-selling single computer model of all time,[5] with independent estimates placing the number sold between 12.5 and 17 million units.[2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64 if you run Batocera you can emulate c-64,Atari,playstation etc. on your pc/mac, its a linux based emulator you can run from a usb thumb drive. all the atari roms take up a few hundred megabytes
My first games were (on IBM dos games) Buck Rogers, Digger, Pebble Beach Golf, some others I can't remember and oh, Larry in the land of the lounge lizards Oh, and TD (test drive)...this all happened in 1988. I think I was 17 then. PC's came to South Africa way way later than the US. Our school didn't even have PC's until I was 16 and there was no such thing as a mouse. So yes, I'm old.
Nope, I've never heard of the commodore or Amiga lol. My first computer was a custom build around 96-97. Back when the monistors were heavy as TV's lol. Oh wow I didn't know about the mini either.
