Welcome here brave z80 visitor! I was born in 1976 and my dad bought his first computer in 1981. At that time I was arround 5 years old and together with my older brother we were amazed by this machine. My dad bought one original game (TI Invaders) and we played all day.

After a while we where bored and we decided to make our own simple games in TI basic. We spend mabye years playing with TI basic. One basic commando: CALL VCHAR$ i will never forget! We used this computer for many years.

One of my school friends at primairy school owned a MSX machine and in my neighborhood there was a MSX Club (MCCA) that came together once a week, on Monday evening.

Around age of 10 I bought myself a secondhand MSX computer. The MSX Toshiba HX-10, complete with tape recorder so I could play games and program small basic programs on my own computer.

The MSX was so much more advanged then the TI, not knowing at that time the TI was even an 16 bit machine. After the MSX-1 I bought my first MSX2, Philips 8220 and later on a Sanyo Wavy MSX-2+, I was really a fan of this machine! During the years i enlarged my hardware expansions for MSX. I also was an Sysop on my own 24h MSX (OmegaBBS).

During my primary school I used the Acorn in school a lot where we played games like Chuckie Egg during lunch breaks. The Acorn version of Chuckie Egg is still my favorite.

I used my MSX machines for a long time. Until 2000, my last MSX was a Turbo-R which i bought in the same year. At that time i had Moonsound, G9k and IDE and SCSI mass storage. After the year 2000 I lost interest in MSX, mainly because my work in IT, but I never lost completly interest in MSX and I was always a member of msx.org
