    An Atari ST with Asteroids, Pac Man, Ballerburg, Crsytal Castles and some other ones I can't remember anymore.

    My actual first computer was a 486er with a friggin' TURBO BUTTON! Comanche, Indiana Jones: The Fate of Atlantis and some racing game were my first computer games.

    I remember upgrading to Commodor 64C and playing games like Bruce lee and transformers. Epic. Oh and the last v8! That game was so tough. Once I got my 486 it was 688 attack sub and dungeons and dragons pool of radiance.

    ZX81 here too! We went totally mad and bought the memory upgrade so we had a full 8k to play with. After that came the Spectrum where I spent many an hour typing in BASIC coding for an adventure game from CVG magazine each month - my Dad would then spend many an hour debugging it - and then I would play it, having read all the text there would ever be when typing in the programme.

    If memory serves me correctly, is that the one that made you want to vomit within two minutes of playing it due to the animation of the walls going past?

  13. I used to operate a PC with a Intel 80486 processor. We used to call it 486. It had dos.
    I remember playing games like snakes, pac-man, gorilla, skyroads, prince and tetris :).

    Then came pentium with windows 95. That was a real leap forward :).

    if you had the 486 DX you were awesome, I could only afford the SX as I was a freshman in High School.
     
  15. Well, my uncle had all these PCs. He used sell computers at that time :).
    I loved dos games :)

    Alan Border's Cricket (95) is still my favourite game :)
