Deus Ex still stands as one of the best.

I loved tinkering with AUTOEXEX.BAT files although I also don't miss them!

My favourites are Blade Runner. Beneath a Steel Sky, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Monkey Island 1 & 2 in and Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars. Basically anything by LucasArts or Revolution Software.

Came to say this.

ST, Amiga, SNES and Playstation. PC was mostly at school and friend's houses until I finally bought my own in early 2000. My first full play through of Doom was the PlayStation port.

Excellent!

Everything was moving from Quantel and Avid to Mac and After Effects when I started working in TV, but the Video Toaster was still the coolest brand.

We know how the story of Andor ends, however, I would love to see a 3rd season that follows Mon Mothma and the Rebels in the build up to and after the battle of Yarvin. Telling the story of Alderaan and the fall out from its destruction and the race to find the plan for the new Death Star.

Nice find. Get yourself a Video Toaster for your Amiga to edit the video for the full 90's vibe.

The Amiga was the better machine at the time, but to this day I still have a lot of love for the Atari ST. And some of the games and demos coming out now show what the STe was capable of.

Actually Point Blank may be my favourite light gun game. I just never picked it up for a home machine.

Nice. Will give it a go!

Duck Hunt even. :)

100% Die Hard. Also the only light gun game I had for the Playstation! Duck was also great, but a slightly different vibe.

I originally played on my SNES using an old portable Black and White CRT my Nan gave me. It was great, super blurry and needed to be returned most days. I can assure you, any modern screen is better.

I now think this is a great machine, but that keyboard does look hard work. When I was a kid I looked down at the 400 as I had an XE and I was a sucker for the ST aesthetics.

Looking forward to this one. Deus Ex was groundbreaking.

Shockingly, I've never played System Shock.

I'd rather use a machine that looks this cool than Excel.

Aside from hacking cash machines, what did these actually do?

Coffee. Send emergency coffee.

I know, sad times. Granted, I haven't been there in over 20 years.

Maybe a walk to Thunderbooks or HMV after a brew. Miss those days!

They looked good even when switched off. My MacBook Pro is a great machine, and can be hidden away easily, but I miss computers I want to show off!

It's still a design icon. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

It's not the classic set-up, but it works well! ๐Ÿ˜„

Gutted I threw out all my old CRT's 15 years ago! Not that I have room for them in this office.

Boulder Dash, Montezuma's Revenge, Frogger, Missile Command, Centipede, there are so many.
