Greetings To Gp2x Community

[klejmanm]

Hi All,
I just would like to say hello to all GP2X community.
I've been reading this forum for over a month, and i'm very happy
that there is console like GP2X on the market. For a long time I was dreaming
about mobile substitute of my old great C64 i used to work with for a long time,
not for emulation only to play this old great games, but also about mobile
modern platform for nice developing.
When i used C64, developing on it was like doing something new.
PC will never be that funny in it, becouse you can't do anything, which
was not done earlier. And here is it - GP2X - console with good possibilities,
and still undiscovered areas, where everybody can do something big, and can be
admired by community. That's big thing
So i'm saving money now to buy my first (!) mobile console in my life, and to start
develop, to belong to this great community (i'm already started to learn ARM ASM).
So hello to everybody!

Hello - ive been on here a while and notice very few threads relating to the C64. It's my fav games system, purely from the point of view it was my first real experience of video games (Had a Vic20 first but soon got rid!).

So, what are you favourite games?

My all time favourite has to be Paradroid.

Welcome oh future new owner of GP2X, you won't regret getting this incredible yet little machine B)

Welcome to the community! Can't say I was ever into the C64 (my first gaming machine was a 386, and I've never really developed seriously for anything), but diversity in origins is one of those fantastic things about this place! You've got people from all the old communities from the 80s and early 90s coming together under one roof - tis fantastic.

Sure you'll enjoy developing - and probably more to the point, playing with - your GP2x .

(A much nicer introductory post than *so* many I've read recently)

 

[semyaza]

Amstrad CPC was still the best

Hello

 

[klejmanm]

So, what are you favourite games?

My all time favourite has to be Paradroid.

A lot of
Giana Sisters, Chip's Challange, PP Hammer, Krakout, Cauldron,
and many, many more
I spent a few lovely years learning 6502 assembler, writing funny utilities
and swapping stuff with other people from community
It was very exciting to optimize code in assembler,
and my masterpiece was dissasembler, which i wrote in assembler

Now I see opportunity to enjoy with GP2x, so its my target now.

 

[Sonistar]

wow, first nice introduction ive seen in a while,

welcome to the forums, and i look forward to seeing anything you develop ^^

Welcome, marcink!

c64 was/is my favorite system as well, and it is amazing to me to be able to play it on a handheld. I was just playing Lazy Jones and Mayhem in Monsterland earlier. Brilliant.

Hope you enjoy the GP2X world.

My first console was a SNES!

(I'm 14)

 

[Shikaku]

Where did that silly thread with the GP2X rant go?

 

[dsraa]

Yeah, I'd have to say C64 is my first console as well.

Frogger, Law of the West, and V-8 were the best games I liked. I also liked Shogun...I think that's it.

Anyway, I didn't write much back then, I was less than 10, but there were a few games that I wrote into the system that I had copied out of books and saved onto disks. That was my first experience with any kind of programming, even though I had no idea of what I was looking at...

[OMars]

SNES was my first console. B)

 

[Goity]

Megadrive owned the snes.

 

[jmetal88]

I feel horribly late when it comes to getting into cgame consoles... My first was a Gameboy Color. :lol:

 

[Winterkid]

My first console was the Gemini, a Colecovision version of the Atari 2600, that was smaller, lighter, and a lot more sleek looking. According to my parents, my eyes lit up like a christmas tree and went wide, and I smiled for hours and hours.
*shrug*

Love the C64, my favorite game is Countdown to Meltdown, followed by Paradroid, Zenji, Heart of Africa, Caveman Ugh-lympics, and Wizard of Wor

 

[VGballer]

Damn, I guess I'm one of the younger ones

My first system was the Nes, and I never even heard of any systems before that other than Atari

 

[TwoHeadedBoy]

Welcome to the Wopwhag (World Of People Who Have A GP2X), marcink! You're going to have fun with all the STUFF you know

My first was a ZX Spectrum (which I now know was a +2 model, thanks to Retro Gamer). My dad got it at my school's summer fair for £8 with about 30-odd games when I was 7, to tide us over until we got a Megadrive a year later. Those were the days etc...

 

[X-Code]

Everyone is safe here, my first games console was made of stone, it had a little bit of wood in it and all ( talk about luxury !!! ), and a load of errrr, they named it plastic or something like that back then :lol: , it was neat ( we didn't say cool back then ) , I remember the ROM cards, they weren't too heavy, only around 4 or 5 Kg .

You should see the cereal number, it covered at least three bowls :lol:

Same here. Same age and everything. It's why I want the SNES emulator to get as good as the genesis one, but as it is, neogeo and genesis are keeping me busy for a while.

Ha, I'm 19 and my first console was Nintendo 64! *hangs head in shame*

... though I did own the original Game Boy before that, but that's a handheld.

Anyways, welcome marcink.
