Its weird how the older you get the harder it is being able to remember what age you are!. It took me a few seconds to think and remember Im actually 24, wtf!?. I'm sure I was only 18, just out of school and going to the pub for the first time the other week!. I'll be an old man in no time!! aaarrrggghhh!!!.

First console/gaming pc for me would be ZX Spectrum, But that was my older bros so probably doesn't count. First thing I owned was C64 then after that I got my Mega Drive and Sonic!!. Back in the day when games mags were full of drawings from readers showing Sonic mutilating Mario with various sharp objects etc etc and you were either a Sega or Nintendo fan but never the two together. SEGA ALL THE WAY!!!  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif

Wow. Surprised to see so many 16-20 year-olds. Well.. maybe not. I would expect my age group, the 21-25 to be much higher though and not so close to the 16-20 year-olds.

I'm 24, by the way.

I sure hope the vast majority of those 16-20 year-olds are at least 18-20. Why? It seems most people under 18, no offense, really, so nobody please say I'm flaming by any means, are a little on the immature side. Then again, they are under 18 so what would you expect?

It's all good. The more people who are members of Xbox-Scene the better, in my opinion, so if you're 15, 16, 17, 12, 20, 30, 40 and an X-S member -- Hey, I'm glad to see you're a member and here on the site. Really, I am - even if you are immature. Haha, joking.

We at first had the version with 4K of memory, later got the much faster 8k version! Had few games so we had to program our own. Saved games on cassete tape drive. Now have 3 powerbooks, iMac, Cube, 8500 and just built my first PC for use as a server. Daughters 3 and 5 yo use the powerbooks and XBMC all the time. Can't wait to see how good they are with computers when they are 13!

Obviously my post was too intellectual for you to understand I suppose because I clearly made subliminal messages that the age doesn't really matter and I'm happy the more people on X-S the better no matter how old they are.

Also, I never even talked about modding. Where did you get that from. Go re-read my post and hopefully you'll understand it better. I gave no disrespect to no one yet you disrespected me.

I'm 20. I can't believe I'm still visiting this website. The older i get reading this website the more i feel like a sad loser geek, ive gotta stop! I mean, what 20+ year old is interested enough in computer games to read an xbox hacking site? It pretty much means you've got no life, time to get one! TIME TO STOP.


Never!! lol!  tongue.gif . Theres no shame in being interested in video games, consoles, PCs etc etc.

Obviously my post was too intellectual for you to understand I suppose because I clearly made subliminal messages that the age doesn't really matter and I'm happy the more people on X-S the better no matter how old they are.

Also, I never even talked about modding. Where did you get that from. Go re-read my post and hopefully you'll understand it better. I gave no disrespect to no one yet you disrespected me.

31 (32 in October) - had a computer or console or one kind or another throughout my life!

First one I think was a 'Grandstand' - an all in one unit with paddles that played 5 'pong' style games.

Next was a good ol trusty 2600, which all I remember was Circus Atari making me laugh as you missed the landing on the see-saw and Decathlon giving you a nasty bruise in the centre of your palm as you tried to waggle the ol' black joystick to get the guy to run!

In chronological order, the following systems kept me amused over the years:

Oric-1 / Atmos, Atari 800XL, Commodore 64, Atari ST, Amiga 500, Megadrive, SNES and Playstation. Have had PCs too, but wouldn't count them as games machines.

Now got the Xbox and 360 - it really is amazing as to how far we've come in the last 30 years smile.gif

I was not outed as a liar in that thread. I'm sorry, but you're wrong. That's funny, though.

It looks like you are the one who needs to chill out as you are the one who seems angry. I honestly could care less.

Seriously, calm down and stop dissing on people. You're only making yourself look worse.

By the way, I don't know what videos you are referring to but they are probably ones I've hosted for someone. I host videos for a lot of people. The only domain I own is g0at.com and I host a lot of videos and stuff on there from various people in the Xbox community. No videos that are linked to that site have anything to do with me.

If you're referring to some other videos then I have no idea what you're talking about.

Seems you got some anger issues you need to work out, though. I wish you luck.

God Bless and Happy Easter. smile.gif

yeah, but you said kids who were under 18 were immature. and then you go saying that it's cool that XS has alot of members. it seems to me like you dug yourself a little hole and tried burying it so that people won't flame you.

if age really doesn't matter to you, then you should have totally excluded the entire statement about people under the age of 18 being immature from your post.

Interesting that you say that. I was pretty bored with gaming up until I found the Dreamcast, while the Dreamcast was big I was big into gaming... after it fizzled out I started to get serious into console modding and most of the last generation I was pretty bored with games. I agree that 99.9% of the time my Xbox 1 was (and still is) used for XBMC. However it's the 360 that has seriously brought me back to gaming. I've had more fun with the 360 then any other console since the SNES. The Dreamcast was awesome but I didn't have as much fun with it as I am with the 360.

ATARI 400.

My dad said if we were going to get a computer system, we needed something we could program on.


30 on the 2nd of June...

Damn, I thought I was gonna be the only one that started programming on an Atari 400. lol. My dad actually made a REAL keyboard for it (weighed about 10lbs though!) so I could actually type on the damn thing. That stock "bubble" keyboard SUCKED as well as waiting 60 minutes for a game from cassette to load but I still have very fond memories of that computer as it lasted me from '82 to '88 when I got a C128.

Long live the days of Basic! Goto, Gosub, if, peek, poke, and the insane DATA lines!!!

Been hacking consoles since the SNES days (Multigame Doctor) and have modded every console since then. Genesis, N64 (Doctor v64), Dreamcast (40wire modchip just for imports!), thousands of PS1s, dozens of PS2s, and over 500 Xbox's modded. Current Xbox is mainly an EMU/Media center with 1.2TB and over 600 xvid movies.

Even ran a 4 line BBS from 90-94 with over 100 online games and had the first 14.4k and CD-Rom full of pr0n for download before anyone else within 200 miles.

I was a n00b back in '88 when I first got online with my C128 and a 300baud modem. Anyone remember those? Watching each letter appear on the screen? hahaha.

Man I'm old.

41- cut my teeth on the Commodore 64, long college days dialing up bulletin boards on my 300 baud modem. I could read the print as it scrolled across the screen.

I used to play Asteroids and Galaxian at Time Out as a kid growing up.  My first handheld was a game called Football which was played on a grid of 3 x 10 blinking lights.  The first home video game I played was Pong at a friend's place - though I can't remember what system he had.
