Commodore 64. My father traveled for business and eventually brought home an SX-64 that I still have! Castles of Dr. Creep! 😁

Grandparents had a Visual Commuter with no LCD.

Grade school had a few TI-99/4As and one Apple //e, until the computer lab was installed with IIgses served by a Mac.

VIC-20 still going strong in 2025 with a MegaCart from Denial. I think my parents bought it for me in 1983. 42 years… crazy.

My first computer that I bought myself was a Dell Inspiron laptop that I bought in 2000. It was about $1,500 if I remember correctly, and had 256 MB of RAM. Sounded like a plane about to take off every time you turned it on, the fans were stupid loud.

The first computer my parents bought was in the late '80s/early 90s that ran MS-DOS. I don’t remember the brand name, but my brother and I used to play “Castle Adventure” on it. We drew maps of the screens on paper notepads to make our own cheat sheets.

Macintosh 128k, followed by an Apple ]|[

ZX spectrum.Fucking loved it.

Mine is a bit embarrassing. The first computer that was actually mine was an ACER desktop computer that had Windows Vista on it. The memes about Vista aren’t exaggerating. It was quite possible the most unstable OS I’ve ever used. The concentration of blue screens is unmatched to this day and it was a horrible RAM hog

Laser 50 Personal Computer

We were poor, but my mom got me one of these. Ran into the mem limit multiple times, but those were good days banging on that. This thing and C64 magazine.

I had 386 pc with ms-dos and windows 3.0 but soon I switched it to Amiga 1200 and I must say, it was stunning computer compared to pc.

Apple IIs were in my school but my first computer at home was a 486 sx 33mhz from Midwest Micro

I still have my first PC. It’s not the first one our family had, that was an old Macintosh and a DOS after that. But this is the first one I bought and built. It still runs, on windows XP. It’s a nice time capsule. It still has Medal of Honor Allied Assault on it.

I honestly don’t know what kind of computer it was. It was something my dad brought home from work when they were going to throw it out, so it was old even when I had it in the early 90s. It ran DOS, had a 5 1/4 inch floppy drive, and a lovely orange monochrome monitor. I used it to write my little stories and play crappy console games. Good times.

Gateway 2000 with Windows 95. I do not know which specific configuration (I was too young). I do remember the games I had though: Tyrian 2000, Jazz Jackrabbit 2, C&C, HoM3, I-war, Flight Simulator 95, LBA 2 and Jersey Devil. Half of them were copies I got from a neighbour that owned a cd-r.

Mine was a ZX Spectrum, my father bought it for me when I was 12 years old, good times haha :D

Technically a commodore vic-20 but I remember the c64 better
