Memories - Your first PC

What was your first PC like, What were it's specs and what games did you play at the time? When I think back to my first computer I laugh when a I realize how far my system has come since.

Here is my first computer as best I can remember:

OS: MS-DOS 5.0/Windows 3.1
CPU: 486DX2 @ 66MHz
RAM:8MB
Video: 2MB SVGA Card
Sound: Sound Blaster 8-bit
HD: 100MB
CD: 2x CD-Rom Drive

That was my PC around 95. I loved that PC and it was a long time before I got an upgrade of any kind. I played Games like Spear of Destiny, Commander Keen, Journeyman Project, Space Quest IV, Jazz Jackrabbit, Day of the Tentacle, Corridor 7, Terminal Velocity, Warcraft, Wing Commander... Sometimes I miss those days and that old rig. Like, remember when you would go to your local Computer Store just to get the latest Sierra game or ID Software release (or worse, mailing money to the publisher and waiting to get the game in the mail). Now computer stores don't even carry games... Oh well, Can't wait to see what your PC was like so start listing off...

My first PC was the good ol Commodore 64. I was to young to know any of the specs, or really care, I just loved playing Jumpman, Frogger, RiverRaid, among many others.

Ah, the good ol days, LOL

Load"*",8,1 HEHEHEHEHE, wow I can't believe I remember that.

I also had a Commodore 64, but my very first PC was a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A, complete with cassette tape storage drive. It was a thing of beauty on Christmas Morn circa 1983.

CPU: TI TMS9900, 3.0 MHz, 16-bit
Memory: 256 bytes CPU RAM
Video Memory: 16 Kb video RAM

I think mine was a Commodore 64 also, dang hilarious.

Some games I remember were (not sure if they were all on the commodore 64)

• Classic Concentration
• Alley Cat
• King's Quest 1
• Rush n' Attack
• Hero's Quest: So you Want to be a hero? (later called Quest for Glory)

This was my first PC, still got the old magazine ad for it:P

Use to play duke nukem 3D, Sim city, commander keen, big red racing, quake....and a bunch of other dos games.

We had Amiga and Commondore but I wouldn't call them PC.

We had numerous 286/386/486 even a portable 386.. haha it was huge when talki'n about laptops.

then dad dropped the ball an bougth a 90mhz beast, (atleast a year before any other had one) kidz all over the neighbehood were just glooming over that wounderfull pice of hardware, we played diffrent 3D games like nascar/stuntcar/Doom we were amaced about the performance.

that was way,way back when PC's were very expencive, he* my s60 cellphone is much faster.

The first own PC i had was a 133mhz old thing, for mostly it never worked well.
