In the late 80's or very early 90's I won a Commodore 128D from a radio station contest. I still have it, and was using it up untill 1995. A catalogue came with the computer with all sorts of things you could by for the Commodore, like a 20MB Harddrive! This was my first computer, but not the families first. We had a TI-99 4/A that we played Space Invaders and Barrage on constantly.

What a blast from the past.
My first computer was an Amiga. I found endless enjoyment as a boy swapping disks furiously. The only games I played (despite having a fairly large amount) were Cannon Fodder, Monkey Island (1+2) and Mortal Kombat.

Mine was/ is a 1995 Pentium. It could play CC II but didn't have enough grunt for III.
I still use it as a glorified typewriter. With no modem, security i not an issue, although I'm starting to wonder how I'd extract its data when some critical component finally blows.

I bought my first pc back in 1990 when I started a college course. It was a 286 with 4MB of RAM and a 40MB hard drive. I had DOS 5, Windows 3.1, Lotus AMI PRO 1.0 - which I still believe is the best word processing package I have ever used - and an early version of a Modula 2 compiler. I installed a few games such as X Wing and Links Golf.
I remember thinking "40MB of disc space? I'm never going to fill that up "

My first computer was Commodore C=64 - I think it was in 1992.
C=64 in Poland was hell - I had only a cassette recorder and 9/10 of original games were horribad unbalanced platformers/shooters like this and this.
There were pirated versions of some more ambitious games - tactical wargames, flight simulators, etc. but most of them were castrated rips that allowed playing only one level.
My favourite games were:
Laser Squad, Gunship, Legions of Death, Ikari Warriors, Ultima I, Archon, The Monster, Hostages, Great Escape and Falcon Patrol II.

Commodore Vic 20. My dad bought it for educational purposes but I ended up playing games on it. The first PC that I bought for myself was a P60 running on windows 95 and had MS Office installed (what a luxury !)
