What was Your first Computer?

[cbeerman]

I had a Commodore Vic 20, I wanted the 64 in the worst way. Peeks and Pokes

[cyph8r1975]

I think it was a powerful i386 with 5 1/4 inch floppy drive and a monochromatic monitor.... Good old days.....

mine was a Philips G7000 console. you could programme it to make a little man walk across the screen from right to left, if you were realy clever from left to right. what a beast!

ZX-81 with added ram pack that required a sledge hammer and industrial tape to keep it in the worst ever designed interface.

mine was a CPC 464 colour with the "floppy" 3 in drive.
superseded by IBM ps1 with an 11nch colour screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

neither was that good if I'm honest.

Not a real computer, but the first console I had was the Grandstand. Tennis, breakout & something else at the flick of a switch with two controllers.

Then it was the ZX81 with about 6 button presses just to bring up the 'load' command.
It had the 16k ram pack (I think it was 16k)

The ZX Spectrum followed with a whopping 48k, then the +3 with the 3" floppy drive. I had the box that plugged into the back that allowed you to copy games by pressing a red button. No more waiting for tape loading after that, all my games were saved to floppy.

The Amiga 500 entered my life in about '89/'90. 500KB expansion & external drive. I still have my 500 & a 500+. Every now & now I dig them out & start down memory lane with Wings of Fury, Moonstone, Dogs of War & Shadow of the Beast.

My first was the Amstrad CPC 6128.. My mother had asked for advice from a family friend on which to buy.. it was a choice between a comodor or the amstrad.. and the amstrad won..



My brother lost also and got the 464 hahaha. i laughed because i could stay up and nobody knew.. yet when he played you could hear the game loading for miles hahahaha..
