Here's Mine:

Timex Sincliar 1000, with a whopping 2k ram.

Edit: this pic has the 16k expansion, which I had but never worked properly.

This thing a hd a "plot" command where you could draw a dot on the screen, or unplot it and take it away, hours of fun I tell you.

 

[littlewig]

It was a Packard Bell, I think it had a 100MHZ CPU, the fastest at the time. It had Windows 95 on it.


Can't remember the other specs, I was young.

Edit - Sorry, HP wasn't around back then. I think I had the same PC as Jade Knight 08.

Eh, my first pc was gotten a bit late in life. I think it was around 1998.

Pentium II 300 MHz
64mb RAM
6gb HDD
Gateway 2000

It served me well for a long time until I could upgrade. I fixed it up and gave it to my Grandmother, so it lives on.

Atari 800XL

1.79 MHz, 48K of RAM

 

[number386]

Good times, I had it connected to my TV and played a crap load of games on it. Few that comes to mind are Questron, Mail order monster, and beach head.

 

[Grimlock]

The first computer I've ever diddled with was an Apple II. But the "first" one in my home would be an Atari 400-talk about an inert object. The thing could not do anything unless it had a cart in it, and the only one we could afford was Space Invaders. My first real computer would have to be my Commodore 64.

 

[Doublesith]

Macintosh LC II.

 

[Anthropic]

Apple IIe that was a hand-me-down from an "early adopter" grandparent.

To this day, I still use the numbers keys at the top of the keyboard.

To this day the C=64 and the Amiga were the best things to happen to computing, just so much quality gaming overall.

C-64:

Knight Games
B.C. Quest for Tires
Bard's Tale
Wasteland
Dragon Wars
Electraglide
Caveman Ugh-Lympics
Raid over Mosocw
Paradroid
Blue Print

Amiga:
Shadow of the Beast
Speedball
Killing Game Show
Premiere
Lemmings
Worms


Good times

It played Half-Life and TFC online!

 

[belgurdo]

An Acer Aspire. I think it was a P133 with a 1GB hard drive. Still works after 10+ years, and my parents swear by it, despite me telling them to throw it away/upgrade it, or use my old (but still more powerful than it) clunkers

 

[Lonewolf]

Commodore 64 4 life!!!

 

[3kuSaS]

My first comp was a commodor 64.

Then we got some kind of crappy pc with dos. Can't remember the specs obviously.

Years later, I thought we had reached the pinnacle of technology with our Apple Performa 550 :lol :lol

Man, computers used to be so worthless!

 

[Animal]

a 486 given to me by my uncle in the early nineties...i was barely playing warcraft 2 and command and conquer.

Wasn't Packard Bell like the worst PC manufacturer of all time?

 

[The Shadow]

I forget the specs. The only thing I could do with it was log onto BBSs and chat, play text games, etc. This was all before the internet hit it big.

And as a bonus, the first printer I had. DOT MATRIX:::::

 

[SpoonyBard]

Commodore 64C. With a shitty 14" TV, connected via RF cable, and an absolutely amazing single button Zipstick joystick. Those were the days.

 

[Scrow]

I dunno what it was, but I played games that came on these sorts of floppy disks.

I remember the good 'ole days of playing Jill of the Jungle, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Frogger and The Last Half of Darkness. Those were the days when my sister would actually play games. Just recently I was able to get her to play Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat though. :lol

So does anyone know what type of computer it could've been?

[SpoonyBard]

So does anyone know what type of computer it could've been?

Jill of The Jungle was an old DOS game, so it was probably just a 086 or 088 PC.

 

[cubicle47b]

We had a Commodore but I don't remember it ever working. The first my family bought was a Packard Bell 486 DX2 66 mhz.

 

[opkal]

I don't know the specifics, but it was a Packard Bell, and it came with a game called Math Blaster, which I played the shit out of.

[VALIS]

Apple IIe, '81 or so. Some games I remember were Wizardry, Ultima: Exodus, Castle Wolfenstein, The Bilestoad, Bill Budge Pinball Construction Set and nine billion graphic adventure games who's names I'll never remember (besides King's Quest, which fucking rocked).

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

C64

 

[Lyte Edge]

Apple IIgs. We got the computer in 1986, when I was around 6 years old, and kept it until around the end of 1992, although we also had a Macintosh S/E 30 by that point.

I LOVED the IIgs and did not want my dad to get rid of it, but after he sold the computer in a garage sale, he bought my brother and I a Super Nintendo with several games, including Street Fighter II, which had just come out, which did help to ease the pain.

But I loved so many of the games on the IIgs, and I'm glad that sites like Virtual Apple can let me revisit them whenever I want to. Games like Tass Times in Tone Town, Thexder, Silpheed, Keef The Thief, Alien Mind, Warlock, Uninvited, Deja Vu, Shadowgate, and Apple II games like Prince of Persia kept me on that computer for hours at a time back then. Those were the days.
