Oh yeah, my first PC had no hard drive at all, just dual 5.25 floppy drives. Top that bitches!
EDIT - Oh yeah, thanks for the free game GOG!

First game I bought, absolutely classic for me.
That's a real surprise. A free game, and a game that I've never even heard of too! Might just be what I need to curb my boredom during this period. On top of that, it looks fun too!
Gracias GOG, you guys ROCK!
Well, my first PC (and I'm not counting my MSX, C64 and ZX Spectrum before it) was a 286, with 1 MB of RAM and a massive 40MB HD (which I thought I'd never be able to fill). That was back in 1990.

Vandal: Yeah, I remember having to upgrade to 8MB of RAM (from 4) and it cost about $130. Crazy.

Throdax: 8MB? Show off
I remember upgrading my Amiga 500 from 512k to 1MB ram... Whooooo extra features in games :)
I also remember playing Monkey Island 2 in 13 floopy disks... on the Amiga 500.
Good Old Days.

No you don't. Monkey Island 2 was 11 disks, 12 if you counted the "optional" savedisk.
Finding Monkey Island 2 original in the mail was one of the greatest days of my life. Oh, how I miss those days.
Never heard of this game before so... downloading and playing it. ^___^
Thanks, GOG.

Pardon me :)
Old Age has jarred my memory a bit :)
With all this retro talk, I've suddenly remembered 'Hired Guns' and enhancements you got with a memory upgrade on the Amiga.
Very cool!
Thanks for the free game, gog team.
Here's to nother 100 games!
I hope you'll have a little party, to celebrate this milestone. It's quite an achievement. Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into this.

Aliasalpha: Ahh extra features like sound in Their Finest Hour! It made all the difference. I had a super fancy upgrade card that could support up to 8MB of memory! Of course I could never get anything more than the 1MB it came with, BLOODY expensive in those days.

Ah, extra features. With my upgrade to 16K, I got MS-Cassette Extended BASIC. It allowed me to have vector graphics.

Two Words: timex sinclair
Specs: membrane keyboard, 2K ram expansion, cassette drive connector
what an ungodly piece of crap
oh yeah, i had access to a TRS-80, and an Apple IIe (not quite as old)
our first "real" PC was a 128KB dual floppy $1700 Tandy 1000, 16 color capable, mono green monitor
I have to be honest its not what I was expecting but it's a free game that definitely looks worth trying. Plus lets not forget the real news. Happy 100th Game GoG!

I recently upgraded to 2GB from 1 and it cost $30 CAD. :D
To GOG: Congrats on reaching 100 games, and thanks for the freebie. :-) I seem to remember playing it a little (back in the nineties), and from what I can remember it was pretty fun. I'll probably have a look at it later.
As for the first computer thing - well, mine had 20k RAM, a built in cassette player and a monochrome monitor (also built in...). I am old. :-(
