Apple IIc with a green monochrome monitor, a 5.25" floppy diskette drive and a joystick.

A Sony HitBit MSX-2 with 64kB RAM and 3.5inch floppies.
*** EDIT: It actually had a whopping 256kB RAM, although under MSX-Basic you could only use 64kB.***

(I am that old: you know, when ships were still made out of wood, and men of were made of steel.)

My second one was a 286 with 1MB RAM and a 40MB Harddisk.

A Kaypro II, although I didn't get to play with that much. Then a Commodore 64.

My lawn. Get off of it.

Vic-20 with tape cassette. Start loading software, have lunch. I had a bunch of Scott Adams adventure cartridges with it.

Bought a C64 1 year later in 1982 and used it until 1993, through college. Built a 486/DX2 after that.

My first computer i got in 1993 for my first communion was Amiga 600. It did not have hard drive and i connected it to tv. Played the shit out of superfrog but also kick off (or sensible soccer. not sure which)

My second was in 1994 and it was PC
486DX2, MASSIVE 500MB harddrive. sound card (a year or so later tough) 14inch color monitor. it was a beast. First game I bought for it was Megarace 1 i believe, also played CandC, warcraft 1 and of course transport tycoon (not deluxe. that came a bit later). good times.

286, 40 MB HDD, 16 or 36 MHz I am not sure, Norton Commander and the classic games like Prince of Persia, Grand Prix, Retaliator, T602 etc...what a time it was.

Amstrad featuring a 8086 cpu and a whopping 30meg HD.

My EGA monitor let me bask in all the glory of 16 colors. (CGA was for chumps.)

It could play such classics as battle chess, space goose, hot rod, prince of persia and dangerous dave just to name a few.

Oh and of course, Sopwith.

I miss that computer.

I remember when my dad brought it home, I was like "whoaaaaaa, can't touch this!" :D

I had a Commodore 64 and a Compaq where the keyboard clipped in next to the monitor to look like a suitcase. Not to mention it had two 5 1/4 inch floppy drives!

First family computer was a Pentium 3.
First personal computer was a Pentium 4 that I still use to this day (indeed, I'm using it now!).

Strange configuration. My first PC was P75 with 850MB HDD bought from (OPTIMUS for 5k PLN!) and I had only 8 MB RAM.
