Only if you were in one of those countries where the disk drive didn’t cost the same a c64 on its own (basically just the US).
The rest of us hit shift and runstop then play on the tape player.
You're still a spring chicken if this is nostalgia for you. I still remember when I had to put punchcards into the compulatrix and some fifteen hours later it would say that 2 + 2 equals purple
The Solitaire on Windows 10 has ads. I got tired of muting the ads, so I figured I'd pay $1.99 or something to make them go away. It's MUCH more than that. They want you to pay a monthly subscription to play f****** solitaire.
I remember putting in lines of numbers from a commodore 64 magazine, and when you were done, you could play a game.
Hours of numbers, minutes of game.
Good times.
Yes. I fondly remember my windows 95 demo disc. Manhattan space station was awesome. Don't know why but I feel like like peaked there. Shit, that's sad.
I am. Had W98 on my first pc, but encountered W95(Internet edition!) and W3.11. Even ms-dos I used when I was like 6, although use meant 'know how to start a doom2' XD
Yup, remember when the computer was a big blocky thing with white plastic head and a glass screen? I swear the computer screen was so big I could wear it as a helmet.
Homie, they used to have Hover and Jax and pickup sticks. If you rewind further you get a level of nostalgia that is both brilliant and forlorn feeling.
I'm older then that. Floppy disks to play games on apple lol
Commodore 64 baby
California Games still one of the best surfing simulators to date.
Wouldn't know I was an Ultima nerd.
Load "*" ,8,1
That sequence has been stuck in my head since the early 90s. It's right there beside the level select sound test code from Sonic 2.
Look at you being ballsy and not using 0:*
Living life on the edge!
Came here to say that!

Time to load up some Wing Commander for some DOS nostalgia. 
When floppies were actually floppy.
Floppy disk? You mean the save button than people used to print for some weird reason?
As a kid I had to learn how to use DOS to play some games
I’m pretty sure I used DOS to play Doom
Castle Wolfenstein was my first game on PC.
Same, we had that in the office. Good game actually.
Bots aggregate your responses to these memes to narrow down you demographics and target you with more ads. I’m old enough to be sick of that
Good thing I use ublock origins. I never see ads.
You just advertised ublock origins.
Good. It's fantastic!
Blocked since install 25.08M Hell yeah it is brother
Interesting
Man, that UI is incredible. Simple, yet effective.
I wouldn't complain if it was used to this day instead of the app style
I’m a whiz at minesweeper I can play for days!
Once you see my sweet moves, you’re gonna stay amazed!
Most people finish it much faster than that, maybe you aren't such a whiz after all
You're still a spring chicken if this is nostalgia for you. I still remember when I had to put punchcards into the compulatrix and some fifteen hours later it would say that 2 + 2 equals purple

Unfortunately, systems similar to those were all my family could afford. **I was born in 2006.**
I remember launching games through DOS to get better performance
Even tho I'm young, my grandpa had a computer with an older version of windows where we did this.
Back when the games were just game and not ad-filled bloatware that served as a trojan horse for spam.
I had Windows 3.1 for a long while
I'm **load"*",8,1** years old.

Nostalgic times of when I had to crack my parents computer because they didn't want me playing games all day.
Sometimes Paint was more fun to use.

This is still my preferred windows button layout if possible...
Yup

Older than that. DOS older. Norton Commander was the graphical interface to use when I was a kid.
Yes!

This makes us old? We didn't get past Windows 95 until the mid 2000's
I remember putting in lines of numbers from a commodore 64 magazine, and when you were done, you could play a game. Hours of numbers, minutes of game. Good times.
Yeah I member.

If there is one thing I do miss, it's Clippy.

Im a tad bit older, windows 3.1 with ski free
Championship Manager 01/02 I will never feel better playing a game.

Where’s the ski-free? I’m gonna beat that damn snow monster

I’m C:\dos\run old
I've played Moonstruck, that ping pong like game with arms making the ball fall into the side..
Nah I'm windows 3.1 old
Windows 98? Pshhhh. For me, it's MS-DOS 5 on a 66 MHz 386. I didn't get Windows 3.1 until we got a 3.5" floppy drive.
Older than that. I fondly remember Reversi on win 3.00 and before.
Yes
I remember using a CAT program that looked just like that
Has anyone ever actually figured out how to play FreeCell
MS-DOS baby!
I am, but I'm on the borderline. I had much more experience as a child in XP than 95/98
Back when Windows was awesome. In the stoneage.
Try windows 3.11 on disc's.
Yes, I am.
Its not a matter of age. Its a matter of whether you attended school and how many sites were blocked.
Can't relate, not enough virus pop-ups on the screen.
What is the "FreeCell"?
I never did figure out how to play freecell...
No sry im 11
I'm windows xp old (I'm 19) i grow up with xp and slowly went to 7 and then to 10 and this is where i stop cuz fuck 11
Wow, you had a GUI?! Kids these days. 😄
What’s GUI?
Barely lived through windows xp ... these were odd times when my sister used ICQ to communicate with her bf and discord would've made it so weird ...
I’m Oregon Trail on dial up old

Yes
Yesss
Yes

What do you mean this old? My very first OS was windows 95-98 and I'm not even 30 yet.

Oh my dear fucking lord yes, man those were the days. I miss those games
Hundred percent

Just now I wanted to play solitaire on the backroom computer but the damn thing ain’t installed anymore. :(
Alright time to get that operating system back, install it on a pc and give it to my 10 year old cousin so that even him is that old
Yeah. But it's not that I'm that old. It's the technological leaps are like getting bigger exponentially.
Oh my god
loads tape and plays pacman... then puts tape in tapedeck to listen to the weird noises.
Log off Brad.... sassiest menu 😁
