My first computer was a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A. It had slot for catridge games. I guess that's why I still don't understand why people are PC or console snobs when it comes to gaming. Whatever floats your boat.

An IBM 300GL with a 233MHz Pentium MMX processor, 2MB Cirrus Logic graphics card (LOL, 320X240 in most games), 4GB HD, 64MB RAM, Win 98. It still works.

I got into the computer game late, so my laptop is my first computer

I forget, all I remember is that it didn't even have Windows on it and ran off of DOS and all I did was play this one game where you were an @ sign doing junk.

I hope that's descriptive enough! !!! !!!

...

Compaq Presario with AMD something 2400, 128 MB RAM (16 MB to video), 40 GB HDD (only about 30 usable with the recovery tools), and Windows XP. Sucked ASS.

It was an Amstrad PCW 8256

256KB Ram
4Mhz Processor
2 color screen
3" floppy 180KB
I dont recall this having an HDD. I was saving on Floppys. Also it didnt had ROM (read-only memory)

I remember the PC magazines at the tme. They had games in, but you had to copy by hand all the lines of code of the game, save it in a floppy....and then. I remember it as it was today

Insert Drive A:
> Load batman
> Run
>.......

Things have changed so much

The first PC I owned:

Intel Pentium Processor with MMX technology (166 Mhz)
16 MB RAM
2.1 GB Hard drive
Win95

This PC still works!
Never changed anything in it.
Hard drive is bust (bad sectors that are unrepairable) but it still boots up win95 (takes about 10 minutes though).

I started with a Mac 512KB, "Fat Mac".

No hard drive, two 3.5" floppy drives, 8 MHz 68000 CPU and 512KB of RAM.

IBM PC one. My father was head of a design department at his company and had access to those...(I often worked during the WE and I could play on one of the machine).

Games were included on a boot disk (I swear to god...).

It was faster to actually stop the machine, set another floppy disk and restart it to launch a game.

We eventually had the opportunity to buy one for home.

Commodore 64, about 1985.
