What was your first computer experience?

[Titi]

Mine was a "game" my dad had installed on his computer for me, it was basically just a program of the 101 dalmatians that let you design letter paper and print it, rofl. It was so lame. Especially since we didn't have a printer back then, so I couldn't even print my designs.
A few years later my dad surprised me with the very first Sims game on his bulky laptop, but it didn't work very well. Near the same time we had our first computer classes at school and I loved to play with the Word paperclip pet thingy.

What about you?

Haha wowza, that's pretty cool!
I was born in 1992 and I don't think I touched a computer until 1997-8 or something.

 

[Kildor]

Way back when I was still three. The first game I remember playing was a game where an egg is falling and you have to catch it with a nest haha.

Can't remember what the game's name was.

My Dad built me my first computer when I was 7 (so 1999) with old parts he'd collected over the years. It had two games installed: one for maths and the other for English. The English one was Muppet-themed. Soon after he bought me Adiboo Magical Playland. Anyone else play this game? It looked like this:

My dad had one that he would let me use, it was a tcp99 monitor and umm.. I think, nope I can't remember, but it was around 96/97. I then when I was 13 got a ?700 laptop for Christmas, this was acer. One of the best laptops I've had IMO. I then got a Sony vaio and then a dell. I currently have a hp pavilion g6 laptop and a hp pavilion desktop.

Also I don't remember the games, I remember "everythinggirl.com" and "pollypocket" and "Barbie"

 

[Cazqui]

Some weird game with space ship like things that chased me around a map. I don't remember the name at all but I remember the game itself so fondly. I was 3-4 at that time back when windows 95 was the norm.

 

[Blu Rose]

I first watched my father play the Descent series on his computer, but my first experience was on a Dell computer that I still use 9 years later, or now.

It was Zoo Tycoon 1 & 2...

 

[Cou]

Uhm, I remember looking up like my favorite celebrities images on google lmao, and also there was a hello kitty game installed on the computer so I played it a lot and uhm, I also watched Prince of Tennis <3

The first memory wit using a computer was playing this series of educational games called 'Learning Land':

I can't remember how often it was but each disk came in a magazine- I think it was fortnightly/every two weeks- that developed on the educational stuff within that issues' disk... I remember getting all the disks that were produced and I recently found out that my parents lied to me about it: I was told that once you turned 6 you stopped getting the magazine when in fact the series had really been cancelled, so no more Learning Land for anyone...
It was quite fun from what I remember, I got all 58 disks in the end, the Christmas editions didn't have any educational stuff in them instead there were just Christmas based games Hopefully I still have the disks, either they might sell for a bit on ebay or they might work on my Windows 8 computer. (I highly doubt it though)

I also remember having dial-up

I actually do remember playing Adiboo O.O...Can't remember any of it but I used to play it at my aunts pub.

My own first computer experience was on a big brick of a monitor playing chips challenge <3
