Here's mine. It looked exactly as pic related, except it had some other number displayed - I believe it was either 33 or 66. But more likely 33.
On my monochromatic screen you could play games such as:
>Prehistorik 2 >Stunts >Doom (although to play it with nice framerate, you had to lower the details and screen size) >Descent (it worked even worse than Doom) >Heretic (demo only, full game didn't work) >Lotus 3 >Outrun >Electro Body (which had anti-piracy mechanism, which I somehow brute-forced through and even beat the game without cracking it)
I could also run magnificent Windows 3.11 (which didn't count as OS back then, because it couldn't function on it's own, without DOS) and use Norton Commander to browse through files.
Your turn. Show me your first computer.

>Stunts Mah nigga. The track builder in that game was the shit.
Nathaniel Green
Well, the first computer I played games with was my father's 80286 Mikro Mikko 3TT. Alley Cat, Pacman, ChessMaster2000 and such like
Ethan Bell
I was 8 when I got my first PC, so no idea what the specs were. As far as I remember my first PC games were DN3D, Quake, Blood, Fallout, X-Com and Carmageddon. I was 8 when I was playing all of that, yes. DN3D was my first PC game ever and it totally blew my mind.

I had some family computer with Windows 98, and another one with 95. Played: >roller coaster tycoon 1 >railroad tycoon 2 >sheep Tried to play but wouldn't work: >lego racers >star wars kotor 2
I was mostly playing gameboy advance and gamecube back then.
Justin Jackson
First family computer, I had to fight tooth and nail to convince my mum to buy it.
It looked space aged for it's time.
I think I can remember the specs. >566hmz Pentium 3 CPU >64gb RAM >18gb HDD
Ran Max Payne really badly, but playable. I'd love to find this case again.
Austin Lee
Haha, yea! Easy to use and still giving nice results.
I remember I always used to pick one of the gurls and give them the shittest car in the game, while giving myself the fastest one.
Henry Bailey
>64 gb RAM HOL UP
Juan Brown
It looks like a trash can.
Andrew Collins
SO YOU WUZ SAYIN
Robert Ross
I had the exact same case. Mine showed 33 as well as number, however, if you pressed the turbo button it would show a magnificent 66. Which meant your pc ran at 66 Mhz instead of 33. I remember running a SNES emulator on it. Super Metroid's fog would just be solid, so basically you couldnt get past the first bit without remembering it or turning a layer off.

Nicely done.

Good ol' IBM 486. I mostly played Doom, Hexen, and Duke Nukem. This PC was the first of many when I began my expensive adventure into PC gaymen.

Roland in Space was what the Amstrad was all about for 5-year-old me.
My sister and I just called it 'two-seven-three', as 273 was where the game began on the pirated cassette tape.
Nolan Ramirez
My C64 played a lot of TRAZ
That game and Kirby's Blockball were my favorites at the time.
Reminds me that I haven't played any Breakout clones in years.

>my expensive adventure
Great title for an autobiography.
Ethan Cooper
486SX 25Mhz with 4MB RAM and 120MB HDD, no soundcard, no idea SVGA video card (800x600 max res), with Turbo button.
I played Doom, Wolfenstein 3D, Civilization, Colonization, Simcity 2000, Heretic, Duke Nukem 2, Cannon Fodder 2, and countless shareware of various quality.
Justin Bennett
I don't know the specs, since i was too young to care about those, but it had a Monochrome monitor and no hdd, two 5.25" floppy drives, and i remember my brother playing Leisure Suit Larry 1 on it, and he taught me what keys to press to get around town in the Taxi since i didn't know the alphabet yet.
Leo Barnes
How easy is to get working components like these today?

Turing didn't fucking invent the "bombe" either, he just refined it beyond expectations because he was a math sperg and had a lot of good help.
Aaron Ward
Holyshit I remember that my brother had a computer like this.
To play pacman you needed to push a "slow button" or else the game was way to fast to be playable.
Hudson Morales
Those loops and screwdrivers. I still remember the sound of the engine revving in that game.
Michael Powell
Old ass 386 with god knows which specs

Lincoln Stewart
Can't remember what I had but it was some HP that had windows 98. Probably right when it came out because most of my friends still had 95.
>AoE 1 and 2 >Lego Island >C&C red alert 1 and 2 and tiberian sun
>friend down the street had a dad in IT or a programmer so they had almost 5 pcs all on a network >LAN matches of AoE and C&C with him and his older brothers >moved to Arizona a year later :(
Shame I never discovered baldurs gate at the time and my parents were way to keen on the violent video games so I never played doom or duke nukem either but I was able to sneak in playing Diablo at that same friends house
