My first PC, which I was technically the family PC. Not just my own, but it was a Commodore 64. Which was quite a good gaming PC, back in the 80's. I remimer I used to play B.C.: Quest for Tires, Back to the Future movie game, Batman: The Caped Crusader, and Fleet Feet, Zaxxon, Karateka , Underwurlde and others. How about you guys, what was your first PC? When we get back from where we are going, we will return to where we were. I know people there! |

Commodore 64? That's high-tech man! I started with a "Timex Sinclair"...heh assuming you don't count the one my brother built with parts from radio shack...but that really didn't do much either. Punchcards forever!

My first PC was 8086, it looked pretty much like the computer above, but was a clone, not IBM. My father's first PC, that I also used was even older and was Wyse brand. I never owned Vic 20 or Commodore 64, but I did have:

I've heard of the Timex Sinclair. My Dad had one, before I was born. I was born in 1978, so it was sometime before then. Lol. My C64 wasn't to high tech at first. We were using data cassettes, that looked like audio cassettes. Then we stepped up a floppy drive. That took the big old 5 inch floppy, but compared to the Sinclair. I guess it was high tech. When we get back from where we are going, we will return to where we were. I know people there! |

The days of windows 3.01 was the first computer I used. 95 300mhz was the first owned. Days of fast paced shot first ask questions later never really went away it seemed. MMO forums are so...dreadful

The first PC that I owned was the C64. The first PC I ever used was a TRS80. My buddies and I found it hidden away in a closet during high school and taught ourselves how to use it since none of the teachers knew. This was in the early 80's. |

Commodore 64? what the fuck is the internet? My first PC was a compaq but grew up with the Amiga at my cousins house watching him play Dragons layer. Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent. |

My first was an Atari 800. After that I had a C-64, and then moved on to an Amiga 500. Good times :p

Yep same choir again I adhered to in the console gaming thread. This time I can remember it was the Commodore 64 on the PC side. I used to absolutely love playing Mail Order Monsters. "The eternal difference between right and wrong does not fluctuate, it is immutable." — Patrick Henry |

First computer was a ZX Spectrum with a Z80 cpu and 48k of ram. :) First PC was a 4.86 66 mhz with 4 megs of ram, no graphic card and 560 mb HD with Dos and windows 3.11 on it. But that was 10 years later.... "You are the hero our legends have foretold will save our tribe, therefore please go kill 10 pigs." |

Take a trip down Amiga Memory lane http://www.lemonamiga.com/ Amigas were by far the best home computer ever created, Music, Graphics, OS, all far ahead of its time. Screw you commodor for destroying a work of art.

386 sx... I played the hell out of Civ on that thing. Had the Atari 2600 too. I bought a Toshiba of some sort in the mid 90's then started building my own from there.

My very first was a desktop by HP 233MHz Intel Pentium with Win 98 in it. Bought it with the hard earned cash from OfficeMax for about $1,400 ! Lol, I was so happy to have my very first PC just because I wanted to play Jane's Combat Flight Simulator 'Fighter Anthology', 'IAF', 'Longbow 2', and 'F-15'. Oh ya, and 'Supreme Comander' with friends over LAN :p
