"30-almost" is "30-something" I guess.

@Law: Hehe 5 mins. In my day we had to use disk to get internet, and you've got mail was an actual joke among the elite that could afford... dial up.

I am old enough to have friends talk about dial-up, and my grandparents use it.
...Does having two working old 1980's IBM's count? Given they are 10 years older than me...

.-.

It halfway counts. It counts more if you have nostalgia of using them as a child, even if they were outdated by then. If they're more recent acquisitions that's just retrocomputing.

...We used to use them to type up grocery lists...
I have more memory of dad's Atari 2600 playing Pitfall.

i remember when noone knew what the sims was XD

I miss SimLife...actually used genes and phenotypes and Game of Life stuff...

It's kind of strange knowing how old everyone is?
I feel like a baby and I'm not much younger than most of you o3o

And I remember you Panda!
You were everywhere around the time I joined

yeah XD i just mean straight sims1 hahaha, back when my face was like 40% pimples hahaha

I recall an entity known as Sim City that other kids would play in the computer lab when the teacher let them do something other than figuring out clip art and Mavis Beacon.

The first "fancy" computer that I recall my parents buying was an IBM 486. Didn't know what that meant and no google to look it up. You actually had to find people who knew these things.

Lol I remember sim city. I had no idea what zoning laws was or how to level ground, but I sure as hell knew how to destroy a city with a fuckton of natural disasters.

I don't remember what type of computer we had. Our house didn't actually own one until I was almost done with highschool. Even then I had to save up money from my first job to get my first laptop, and that was my sophomore year in college.

my first was some sort of macintosh, which i broke XD then some computer that only could type(black background and green font) then a win 95 then a win 98 then a melenium then an xp XD suffice to say i have had computers for most of my life but did not really /do/ anything with them until the 95' XD

Leveling ground wasn't even a thing in the original SimCity. I think that was added in 2000.

@Coda: I don't remember playing 2000 though. I played it in the 90s along with Oregon Trail, and Where in the world is Carmen San Diego.

Also I don't remember what our first house computer was. I remember my brother ruined it by watching porn.

SC2k actually came out in 1994, so it's pretty likely that's what you had if it had terrain management. The original SimCity had a completely flat terrain.

I've got one for you guys.

Remember that Dolphin game? Where you played a dolphin?

I do.
