I got the A500 with a 1084S monitor and external hard drive. Nothing like booting up AmigaDOS on the built in 3.5" drive. Played the hell out of Shadow of the Beast on my 500.

Divardo Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Commodore C64 with tape drive :D Same here, got one of these when I was in Junior School, oh those were the days :-). I remember getting a light gun with it (bloody huge thing) and pointing that about 3 foot from the screen shooting little planes that were flying down hehe. Also having to reset the counter on the tape machine was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrCheese Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 C64! Quality machine, even if you did have to wait 5 hours for a tape to load :p I think we had one cart game that loaded instantly which was pretty amazing back then. Soon got replaced by an Amiga 500 which was our main system until 1997 when we got our first real PC. Funny thing is that I remember my dad bringing home an internet magazine and me saying that we didn't need it and the internet was useless, heh. I never really owned a console system until the N64 in 1998 :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncoday Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 My first own personal computer, back in 1996, was a Cyrix 686-100Mhz with a 640MB HD, and I think 16 MB RAM. My father was a computer geek, so we had all kinds of computers going back to early 80's. Atari, IIe, commodore and so forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badtz-Maru Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 my parents were programmers, and had one before i was born. i screwed up the 5.25 floppy drive by putting something inside it, and sometime later, they got a new one (from what i remember): Micron Computers Pentium @ 266Mhz 1 GB Hard Drive 16MB RAM I still have the mobo in my brother's room. And I've still been screwing computers up since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hak Foo Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 386SX-16, 1M memory, 40M hard disc, both sizes floppy drive. DOS 4.01 + GeoWorks 1.0 (honestly, there was a unappreciated system-- it did more than Windows 3.1, and ran slippy-smooth in 1M of memory!)

Argote Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I can't recall the specs, all of my life there's always been a computer at home, the oldest i can recall is a 16Mhz 386 PC though i'm sure we had some older ones before that...
