Your first computer?

[Oruc]

Comadore 64 and Amiga 1200 (or was it 12000) Those cassettes took years to load up.

 

[Godwynn]

It was a PackardBell 486 @ 75mhz. It had a really small harddrive at the time. And only had DOS on it. It took me about 2 years to convince my pops to get Windows 3.1

Well the picture won't load because I used it last year in a different thread and it is somewhere else. Can a picture be posted in two threads?

right click, properties it an copy and paste the new link.. that or save it onto your desktop and attach it again.

Man, I miss that logo. The good days in the 90's!

 

[Bozo Erectus]

A 150 mhz Packard Bell. IIRC everyone was in awe that I had 16 ram

 

[Chukchi Husky]

My computer is a Packard Bell.

 

[Mise]

I had a ZX Spectrum 128 with a TONNE of games. Possibly literally

 

[El_Machinae]

The first computer I purchased was a 133 MHz, with 2GB of memory.

The first that my family owned was something with 2 5.25" slots and 4 tone monitor. I played endless hours of Crescent Hawks Inception on that one.

My friends bought their computers after we did (we pushed the tech curve!) - so their computers were always better. Deathtrack, Mechwarrior, etc.

Wait... you must mean a 2GB hardrive, right? Having 2 GB of memory for a Pentium I machine is just insane, and only recently has that amount of memory been a possibility for a computer. 16 to 128mb of memory is more likely.

 

[Lozzy_Ozzy]

The Acorn Electron... what a beauty!

 

[schmiddi]

a 97er Pentium 200MHz with 32 MB RAM and 800 MB HDD.

Its still in use.

 

[ironduck]

I had the Pentium 286

You just mean the 286 The Pentium was the 586 but because Intel couldn't copyright a number they changed it to a name.

 

[Captain Carnage]

I got an Amiga 500 when I was 5 years old.

 

[Wolfe Tone]

Commodore 64. I still have it up in my attic

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Some weird Amstrad 486 with an attached MegaDrive cartridge slot.

Can't for the life of me remember when we got it. Must have been after 1992 though.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

Was that the Amstrad Mega PC?

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Was that the Amstrad Mega PC?

Going by Google and my own memories, aye it was.

Edit: Here she is, weird little hybrid thing, but if it let me play the orignal Prince of Persia, Commander Keen AND Sonic the Hedgehog, I'm happy.

 

[Reno]

My first computer was a 286, a 386 and a 486 (All at the same time, all my Dad's work comps) in the early 1990's (Don't remember exact date anymore.), I still remember how good it felt to play Monkey Island I & II, Maniac Mansion and The Day of the Tentacle on those machines.

 

[ironduck]

Those are some sweet games, especially the monkey island series MI3 is great too.

Well, the harddrive is a type of memory ...

I think we had 32megs of ram, but I don't really remember that.
