In 1994 my family got a Packard Bell that had 1 gig of hardrive space and who knows how much ram.... I remember playing Jones in the Fast Lane and Scorched Earth on it. |

Zenith around 1981, can't remember the model. "Never met a pack of humans that were any different. Look at the idiots that get elected every couple of years.

!!!!!!! I had one of those until 5 years ago. I had taken about 15 trips to Radioshack to replace parts though and the laughs at "so....wanna play some atari?" and "no seriously..." and pulling out Qbert were not worth it.

The 1st computer I owned was a Gateway with a 166 mhz Pentium with MMX Overclocked to 200 mhz back in 1998. I built my own after that.
Tho I didn't own my own PC into 98, I played with computers before that in Electronic Class in high school from 92-94 Back then we had IBM DOS then upgraded to MS-DOS 3.1. We had Windows 3.1 but we almost never used it... They computers we had in that class were a Tandy 1000, some 386, and a Flagship 486 (with Turbo Button) Just before I graduated in 94 we got a Pentium 90 mhz. The games we played back high school were: Doom Wolfenstein Wolfenstein Spear of Destiny Conquest of Camelot King's Quest 4 Scorched Earth Stunts Commander Keen A Chuck Yeager Flight Sim and Others..
Scorched Earth got played alot.

My first computer was a Commodore Vic 20. Went throught the programming book that came with it to make it verbalize all the swear words I typed in (that was pretty fun for a 7 year old). |

Apple IIe. Ah, memories of 'Wings of Fury' how I miss that game. Never could figure out how to sink the Battleships though. |

Tandy 1000SX. I remember playing Space Quest on that thing, was freaking epic for its time. Westwood Studios, Bullfrog Productions, Origin Systems, Pandemic Studios, Maxis, and Bioware. What do all of these fine game studios have in common? They made innovative, fun, and popular games. They were communicative with fans and greatly appreciated them. Also, they were all killed by EA. People, for the future of gaming, please do not buy EA products. |

It was epic! Say hello, To the things you've left behind. They are more a part of your life now that you can't touch them. |

My first computer was an abacus... EDIT: Actually, I bought my first computer in 1978 -- an Apple II. I was 23 years old. |

1st - IBM PS/1 with 25Mhz CPU, 128 MB harddrive, 4MB RAM, 1 3.5 floppy, no CDROM drive, and Windows 3.1. Got into the DOS SHELL the first night and accidentally deleted something. I had to call IBM and they sent me about 20 recovery disks on floppy and I had to re-image. Later i bought a 2X speed CDROM for $250.00 and put Windows 95 on it. 2cd - Dell Dimension p200v with 200Mhz CPU, 800 MB drive, 16MB RAM. Put an ISA network card in it and was playing Quake 1 through TEN(Total Entertainment Network) for about 2 weeks, then I discovered Gamespy. Team Fortress came out and I was playing that 4+ hours a night. Then Ultima Online came out and was playing that like crazy.
added: notable games such as Betrayal at Krondor, Gabriel Knight, Leisure Suit Larry, and Might and Magic World of Xeen, Lands of Lore Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL! |

Don't remember if I posted in this thread or not. My first computer was an IBM x86 that had a turbo switch that made it behave like a 286. I remember my father upgrading the ram to 640k, which was the DOS limit prior to Win95, after which DOS became irrelevant.
