What was your first gaming machine or pc

[loreon]

My first machine for playing games was an acorn electron (tape based games) or you could program dos games into it, it lasted a few years until i brought a zx spectrum+2

My first pc was a 286 with windows 3.0 and a whopping 250mb hd i think (2nd pc had 0.79gb) lol how things have improved

We played Noughts and Crosses in the dirt..
Then I upgraded to Marbles..

Years latter I could afford a calculator, that I was able to hold upside down and use numbers spell words..

Seriously, a Cyrix 300Mhz CPU, 8Mb VGA, 128Mb Ram, King of the block performance back then.

My first gamingmachine or PC was a nintendo 8 bit

Me and my sister did get that together for x-mas when it was kinda new on the market, long time ago now. We still have it and it works even

Thats just so typical! Nintendo was the most worldwide spreaded gaming system ever created. Strangely enough the clone i got for x-mas was much better then original console in just every aspect. It was also known for an unique hybrid PAL-NTSC mode with PALs enchanced resolution and full NTSC and PAL compatibility. When i got familiar with the original console i thought it was a cheap clone , much worse ergonomic, usability and looking. Yeah... that was my child times i believed the Taiwan is some japanese island, , so to me it was japanese made but it was not.

Thinking of this made me look up the c64 (I was bored) but commodore is back! http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_C64.aspx

My first PC was an Intertan 386 SX running at 25Mhz, It had 2MB RAM and a 40MB Hard drive, I remember upgrading a DX maths co-processor, one of its special features was its 512kb VGA card. No CD ROM Drive because they weren't invented till a few months after I got it.

Prior to that it was everybodies favourite, the Commodore 64, with the dual 5.25" disk drive, ended up with loads of tape cassette player for it as well, also had the commodore dot matrix printer.
