Loman Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 The one in the commercial looks like mine I didn't use it much, it was pretty much a typewriter for me back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gta_king Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Amiga 500 actually although for me it was used more as a games machine then anything else but I loved it. Pretty sure we also had a computer with Dos or 3.1 on it, remember playing the very original Duke Nukem on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cursed Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) I'm not exactly sure of the brand or exact specs, since it was thrown out a few years back, and at the time I wouldn't have known what they meant. It had Windows 95, and was in one of those horizontal cases, we bought it off my Uncle in about 2000. The first PC we got new was one my Uncle built for me and it had 128MB RAM, an AMD Duron 1.6GHz, 40GB HDD and Windows 98, I believe I also got an ATI Radeon 7500 to play Vice City with (That PC was crap at VC). Meanwhile the 95 PC was kept in the attic, and my Grandad kept harvesting parts before my Dad eventually binned it (Wish he hadn't). This photo is from about 2002, the PC was usually in my bedroom, but sometime near my 9th birthday we bought it downstairs for some reason: Edited April 20, 2009 by Cursed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geomy Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Tandy I forget what my first was, but I do remember the games I had for it. Space Invaders and Skate or Die. During the boot for SoD, there was a menu for graphics settings - CGA, EGA, VGA and Tandy. My four color CGA always made me want a Tandy. lolfloppydisks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asimov Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) I don't even know what mine was, got it back in 1993, it had those huge floppy disks and everything.

SHXC Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 My dad bought our first computer in 1998, and I'm glad he did. It ran Windows 98 (obviously), and I remember we got like, Theme Hospital, Fifa 95 and two other games free, and if I wasn't playing the games I was learning how it worked. The only GCSE I have is a double C in I.T and a BTEC First Diploma in I.T, so I'm glad we got the computer when we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacMaan Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 First computer i had was a Sinclair ZX80, followed by a ZX81. The first computer I ever used was at school when i got picked for computer class - it was a Research Machines 380Z and it made a fundamental impression on me. I was in awe of it, i still am today. It had EIGHT INCH FLOPPYS for God's sake!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmachine Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The first PC I know anything about was built in 2003, but we've had a PC before that which I don't know anything about. The '03 build had a Pentium 4 2.6GHz, 512MB (later upgraded to 1GB) DDR RAM, Palit GeForce FX5600 graphics card (which ran Most Wanted quite well, actually) and an ASUS P4C800 motherboard. Probably cost a lot back then... sold it to a friend about a year ago, still works .

Pagelzilla Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 In 1993 my dad has some massive laptop that I thought was the coolest thing in the world. He gave me some floppy's that had an assortment of classic games on them to play on the desktop at my mom's. In 1995 we had a desktop running Widows 95. I miss those days sometimes.

makeshyft Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Like a couple of others here, I had a Commodore 64. It came bundled with some cartridges, one of which was all about our solar system. That interested me even more than the actual games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
