Yeah, my brothers and I mostly used the family computer for gaming, and putting the words "gaming" and "laptop" together was a total joke back then ๐
My Dad had a Mac which made it even worse but some of my fondest childhood memories are around playing Full Throttle on that thing. Though Hocus Pocus on my mother's windows 95 PC is probably my first exposure to PC gaming. But I've played NES since I could physically grasp a controller!
With my brothers and me, it was Commodore 64 (Bubble Bobble, Giana Sisters, International Karate, Rockstar Ate My Hamster and many more), then Amiga 500 (Outrun, the first Formula 1, Defender of the Crown and others that don't come to mind right now) and THEN pc gaming ๐
Then you're likely the same age as my uncle. In many ways I'm a bit sad I missed that era, the Commodore 64 really shaped a generation in ways the NES just didn't do because it was "just" a game system. Programming was just so "accessible" in a lack of better words on the 64 and it just didn't get as accessible again I feel until YouTube but it's just not the same. I tried to dabble on PC back in the late 90s and early 00s but it was wild west with poor resources outside of schools/heavy (English) literature and full of viruses! In late middle school I learned Basic and it blew my mind back then. But Java felt like such a let down in University. Nowadays I'm into scripting instead and work DevOps.
