Must be the Spectrum ZX81. 1 whopping KB of RAM (if the screen was empty).
Was then completely blown away by the C64 Smiley
Good old times!

You know what, I take it back.  My first computer was a Sega Genesis.

Mine was an Atari XE, not sure the specific model now but all their 8-bit computers/consoles looked the same.


Then I had an Apple IIe and a 386/33Mhz monster was my first real "PC".

Commodore C=16 Plus/4

I loved my c16. I've still got it wrapped up and stored away in the loft. Not sure why, I just couldn't bare to get rid of it.

The almighty Commodore PET. It's still in a cupboard at home somewhere.






Those screenshots make me tear up.

Pentium 100Mhz PC was my first own machine, I feel young Tongue
But my dad had all kind of stuff in the late 80's / early 90's, I even have a photo of a one year old me pressing buttons on a Commodore (dunno which one was it) somewhere.

Mine was ol' good Windows 98.
It was golden, I could play anything with it. Until one day, we got new computer and 98 got carried somewhere, and I have never seen her again.

How much I loved her.  Corny Laugh

Some DOS thing, or maybe Windows 3.1. A family computer. I just remember playing Snarf with my brothers, and Commander Keen (probably a bit later, I don't know the chronology).



I know that we used to load some games onto my grandparents' Windows 3.1 computer though, we had a lot of fun with that. Keen 5, In Search of Dr. Riptide, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, and Ultima 1-5 (it couldn't run Ultima 6) all got a lot of face time on there.

Acorn A3010. My parents bought it because they thought it was educational. I wanted it to play Pac-Mania.  Kiss

(There must be someone else geeky enough to have one. Anyone???)

ZX Spectrum 48k, then later various PCs.

I always wanted one of the Acorns we used at school though! I remember playing PrimeSolv on them and thinking it was amazing, though it seems really hard to track down now. Sad

WIndows 98 from 2000 specs were probably 8gb HD, 256mb or 128mb ram and Pentium III. I were about 10 year old then. I still remember how I was at start afraid to press "Start" button since I thought it would restart the computer or something Smiley Guess I have advanced since then.
