To eBay!
And in a GAME shop in Leeds I've seen PS1 games from 1995, and PC games like Lego Stunt Rally too. PC games seem to be still sold new even if they're 10 years old as well, because other publishers buy them and sell them as budget games. I got Worms 2 and Worms Armaggeddon in a twin pack for £5 in such a way.

Oh wait.
Does Amiga count as a PC?
I know we used to call it a Gaming Computer.

In that case I believe I played Simon the Sorcerer, Cannon Fodder, and James Pond as first games.

I don't remember exactly, but I think it was pacman or pong, packman could have been on 8bit aswell. I remember people telling me that I was 3years old when I started atleast:)

Exide: Amiga was one of the first pc's in the world, so why would you not?:p

Edit: It gotta have been a remake of pong I played. Since pong was an arcade game released in 1972:eek: Silly me:p

Don't know what I played first, but I certainly remember these games:

Scooter's Magic Castle (1994)

The Secret of Monkey Island (1990)

Now that's old!:
police_quest_1_4.png

Police Quest 1 (1987)

The Magic School Bus: Inside the Human Body (1989)

I barely remember some of the screenshots of police quest, I have vivid memories of Monkey Island, and remember some of the (pointless) stuff I did in Scooter's Magic Castle.

There are quite a few other games I remember playing (some I don't even know the name): Eagle Eye Mysteries (in London), Kids Works 2, and a game where you helped Peter Pan rescue the lost boys from Hook.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
