square owns it nowadays thats why
square

Oh... Then it's a tad odd, yes.

is it ?
so far all square is interested in selling on here is the eidos catalogue

Think there are a few not in that? But then again I have no idea who owns what.

Some old Compaq running Windows 98. It was a hand me down, and I got it in 2007.

Same. I was beginning to think I was the oldest person here. Although we had no color, not sure if that was a different model or what.

Which one was first? The first computer my parents got when I was a teenager? The first one that was in my exclusive use? The first one that was my very own in my very own flat where I lived alone?

Those three would be, in the same order as above:
-- A used 286 Intel processor PC. I cannot remember anything else except playing Lemmings on it :-) Just WHERE IS Lemmings SOLD nowadays by the way?!
-- An Intel 8086 or 8088 processored antiquity that noone else wanted to touch. Not good for much but it was the only computer available to me at the time. I played Falcon on it at a sloooooow pace.
-- A nice guy donated an Intel 386 (speed? DX? SX? cannot remember) with about 250MB HDD, enough RAM (back then) and an eye torturing monitor. Finally a computer that was useful for a lot of things with MS-DOS and a nice menu to start any of the more common programs from. (Thanks Mr. P for the menu! Sorry for pulling that ugly trick on you back then despite you being such a nice guy.)

Sold, not sure, but there is this. Plus some downloads on some (abandonware?) sites. And the Win8+ app (ew!). One for PlayStation too it seems.

My first computer was an Amiga 500 with 512 kb ram (later upgraded it to 1.5 mb ram), no harddrive and used a TV as monitor. First game I bought for it was either Syndicate or Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, loved both of them and still do :)

My first PC was second-hand, and given to us by my uncle. I can't remember the brand, but I remember you had to load the OS from a disk (5 1/2 inch floppy disk, no less!) every time you turned it on, that it ran WordPerfect (this was the main reason we had it), and that it had so little RAM it would crash if you typed too fast.

If I remember right, my first computer was a 1997 hewlett packard. I remember the first thing I did was use this mspaint type of program (maybe it was mspaint, but I think it was a different program, I just can't remember the name of it) and start playing around with coloring and editing a Spiderman picture. I think for the first 3 or 4 days, that's all I used it for.

Then we got the internet. Man, what a thing discovering that for the first time. That's where's I learned about all these PC games I've been missing out on, and I went to Comp USA with my older brother to get Betrayal at Krondor and Mortal Kombat

It all started with a C64 and a datasette.
After that an Amiga 500 followed by an Amiga 1200.
Then my first PC - a 486DX-50 based system with 4mb system ram, Oak display adaptor with 512kb - and a 128mb Seagate medalist harddrive. All hooked up to a no-name 14" svga monitor.

If you buy an old Windows copy of Lemmings, you can import the levels into the SuperLemmini source port and be able to play the game with various fixes and improvements.

Superlemmini

lol!
My dad got an Apple 2 in the 70s, but if you count my own first one, I think it was a 286 that ran Windows 3.1. I became a gamer for life when I played Doom (the first one) and then the gold box SSI games on it. Good times. It had a 250 mb hard drive, which seemed huge but worth it because that was the point at which drives cost $1 per megabyte, or less for bigger ones. That was back when Moore's Law was in effect and upgrades seemed necessary every two years.
