Well,when we hear Commodore down here,(it's a car).My second pc was 286 win95 and I got a little muddled up.

The first PC my family ever owned was this guy (sorry for the crappy pinterest link. It's the only one of this model I could find).

I'm not really sure what the bottleneck was since I was young and not too great at troubleshooting the PC at the time, but it always seemed to struggle to play games I wanted to play. Still, I had some good times with it. Doom I and II and Red Alert 1 and 2 were constant favorites. Age of Empires was another. I loved Roller Coaster Tycoon and Worms World Party, but it only had a 1GB HDD, so whenever I wanted to play one or the other I had to uninstall and reinstall to make room.

I actually managed to get the Sims running on it shortly before we got a new computer. It ran at a single-digit framerate and the colors were completely messed up, but it ran.

Other members of my family had PCs long before we did though. Oregon Trail and Doom on DOS were some of the earliest PC games I remember playing.

The first PC I owned was a hand-me-down from a neighbour. It was pretty old at the time, a gaming rig from the turn of the millennium. I remember it had 1GB of RAM, which seemed like a lot even in 2005, and moreso given its age. It had locks on the drive slots, which was pretty weird. I was still using it when I joined GOG, and I remember when my disc drive went kaput I opened it up and found a sticker that said its contents were known in the State of California to cause cancer. The first game that gave me trouble was Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit - I couldn't get past The Storm, which I eventually realised was a RAM/processing issue.

I called it Tadpole. All of my computers since have been named after amphibians: my current laptop is called Gecko, and my current PC is called Salamander.

My first PC was in 2002:
Intel P4 2.0ghz
256mb RAM
40gb HDD

Pentium 166
32 MB RAM
2 GB HDD
Quad-speed CD ROM drive

A couple of years later I upgraded this baby to include a 10 GB HDD and a Creative Labs Voodoo Banshee graphics card. Those were the days!

If we're talking about x86 PCs, then the first I owned (not my dad or someone else part of the family) was:

- AMD K5 Processor - 133Mhz
- 32MB RAM
- 1.3 GB HDD
- Floppy Drive
- 4x Speed CD-ROM Drive
- Dedicated stereo sound card
- Dedicated SVGA video card (don't remember the total memory, wasn't really relevant at the time)
- The most horrible CRT monitor I can remember - 16bit color support with a migraine-inducing refresh rate
- Windows 95

Good times looking back, but I'm grateful for the present and all the nifty stuff we have today.

Are you sure you mean 32 GB and not 32 MB of ram? (32 GB is a huge amount nowadays, let alone back in the day. 32 MB would seem more reasonable, especially since it would be rather unusual to have a PC with more RAM than storage.)

An Amiga 500. Was really when I was like 6-7 years old; only remember playing around with the paint program in it.. guess I had a couple of games too. Too complicated a machine for a young kid to be honest.

My parents split around that time, I lived with my mum who got herself a Mac 68040 Performa (475?); with an external CD-ROM drive running at x2 or x4; using a case that you had to put the CD into first. Played a lot of demos and shareware titles on it (Exile, Escape Velocity, Castles Siege & Conquest, etc...) as well as a few commercial titles I had that would run on it - Return to Zork, Sim City 2000, SimTower, A-10 Cuba!, Lemmings, HOMM 1, Deadlock, etc...

My dad had I think either a Mac PPC (601 perhaps), or a Quadra 68040 - and I used to play it when I came around. I remember playing Secret of Monkey Island, Lunicus and Rebel Assault II. As well as the demo of Achtung Spitfire!
My dad also had a Mac in his office that I would play on when I was stuck there on occassion - that one had the Mac version of Wolfenstein 3D on it

Eventually I convinced my mum to get herself a Mac PPC, a 603 I believe - and that of course was good for me too. Now finally I had my doors opened to Command & Conquer, Shockwave Assault II, Full Throttle, Fallout and so on.

And then not long after I finally got my own computer - an iMac G3. And I rocked it out with Quake III, Civ 2, Theme Park World, Age of Empires, Myth II: Soulblighter, Starcraft, Warcraft II, Total Annihilation and much more.

Hard drives were not that big in those times, so yes, it's a typo.

Haha, yes indeed. I meant 32 MB RAM.

Can't recall the order in particular, as I had some of them all at the same time...

Commodore Vic-20, Spectrum 48k, Amstrad CPC-464, Commodore 64, Amiga 500, Amiga 1200.

After that, although I can't remember the specs, I had my first Windows 3.1 PC. I've been having a nostalgia run recently with some emulator software for different old systems, but the recent emulator site purges are making it increasingly difficult to find a lot of older games these days.

Around 1998:
I had two computers around the same time; the older one I don't remember the specs but I believe it was a bit weaker than the later one which was a flat case Compaq Pentium 1 166mhz 24mb ram with a 2GB hard drive,cdrom drive,built-in speakers; the older one was more likely around a full tower 486 or early Pentium 1 66-100mhz 16mb ram & 1.2gb(?) hard drive with a cdrom drive. Both came with windows 95 originally. Also both were used when my parents got them.

I remember more of the 2nd than the first due to it being faster and lasting a lot longer so I'll be talking about it.
Also I didn't have the internet for over a year til after I got it so I had limited experiences even with this one.

I remember playing: Demo of Tiberian Sun,Demo of Descent,Windows Solitaire,Chip's Challenge,pinball,bass fishing,various learning games like Math Ace and Word Ace.

In 2000 my parents got me a HP(cost $1,000 at the time) that was a small tower micro-atx, amd k6-3? 500mhz,64mb ram(upgraded to 192mb years later),20GB hard drive, a cdr write drive,windows 98, no AGP slot,this was really my first computer that was in my room and not my parents. I used this by FAR the most as it was my daily driver to use the dial up internet til 2010 (we finally got high speed internet then). The computer was buggy and required 10-20 restarts in a day(I'm not kidding).

On that I played a TON of games: Wolfenstein 3D, Diablo 2,Starcraft 1,Warcraft 2,Pandora's box,mech warrior 3,red alert 1&2,half life bs,infantry,planetarion,nuclear strike,unreal tournament,Civilization 3(very slowly),sim theme park,lots of demos,many many emulation games.

After I built a new linux based computer and had high speed internet(spotty 4G wifi of all things) that worked with it, me & a friend took a sludge hammer and destroyed the hp (taking turns) - I do not regret it. I still have the broken amd k6-3 cpu to remind me of times with windows 98 & dial up(mostly things I hated).

The amount of games played after this computer would be in the thousands, I am super thankful for gnu/linux os'es that allowed me to build a affordable computer that was stable and high speed internet which I consider a blessing beyond imagination.

I'll bump this thread by posting about my sister's PC, the second in the household.

Genuine IBM Pentium 90, i think. Windows 95 os (any other specs I didn't have a clue).
Bundled with a few games like Silent Running and Cyberia. She had DOOM II, Duke Nukem 3D (remember the old censored version? lol), some CIA game that I can barely remember, and a buttload of freeware/shareware titles/demos. I was sooo envious at the time!
Unfortunately I found out some time after she left home that she had dumped all her old games, which flabbergasted me.

I've never thrown out a game, unless the media it was on became unusable (damaged).

First computer, a ZX Spectrum clone called Cobra made by a guy, 48k memory, hooked up to a black and white TV (guy soldered what was needed on the TV's circuit board and drilled holes into the side for the jacks to go in) and a casette player, and which tended to overheat after about 2h.
Games played on that, aside from various simple type in things from some magazines or books, recall dad getting some tapes with various stuff on them (and that the stuff that started on one side and continued on the other didn't load), there was Track & Field, Dynamite Dan, River Raid... not sure what I played Karateka, maybe Paratrooper, and some game with the Pink Panther on, may have been on that.

First x86, 386 SX 16 MHz, 512 kb probably Trident video card, 2 Mb RAM and I think 120 Mb HDD. Some chance it may have just been 80 Mb. The guy making the accounting program my mother used kept complaining of how slow it was (program made in FoxPro, he kept coming over to apply changes, be they due to regulations or stuff my mother asked for, and he'd compile it on our computer, guess that was DRM at the time, and it took a long time). That one never was in my room, but used it a lot.
What I played on it and what on the next (486 DX2 66 MHz, same video card as before, 4 Mb RAM later upgraded to 8 Mb (for Warcraft 2), 540 Mb HDD - first that was also in my room) tends to be blurred though, just some 2 years between them and the 2nd taken as an upgrade, parents handed over the first one to some guys and I guess paid the difference and got the new one back, with everything on the HDD as it was before. But going through games I identified as having played, let's see... Sure about Dynablaster (Bomberman), Mice Men, Grand Prix Circuit, Sharkey's 3D Pool, most probably also Prehistorik 2 and Lotus: The Ultimate Challenge, possibly also Body Blows, maybe also Alcatraz, not sure if Alley Cat was also on that, Arkanoid, not sure of Titus the Fox or The Blues Brothers, really not sure of Amazon: Guardians of Eden, probably F-15 Strike Eagle II, possibly the first 3 Larry games (remember dad getting a later one too from somewhere and it not working), possibly The Lost Vikings, possibly Quest for Glory 2, quite sure of Oh No! More Lemmings, maybe Another World (but very briefly), and of Serve & Volley, possibly Space Quest 5, likely Stunts and Test Drive, and a lot of Supaplex, and there is a chance Wolfenstein 3D was on that too, maybe a few rounds of Arcade Volleyball too if that was on a computer I had at all, possibly either Elite or Elite Plus, whichever one I did play, Blockout if that was the 3d tetris game I remember, and on that note maybe Sextris as well (heh...), likely Operation Wolf and Wings of Fury, plus various sharewares (Jill of the Jungle, I think Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion, maybe Kiloblaster and/or Overkill...). Guess that's as far as I can dig up, going by release dates and memories of which room I was in and what else I had at the time.

My first PC was Pentium MMX (200 Mhz) with 16 MB of RAM (later upgraded twice, once to 32, second to 128 MB) and some unknown to me graphic card (with 1MB memory :P believe it or not, but it was upgradeable to 2 MB, I still don't know how it was possible, but I remember that it showed changed value in manager of devices). And initially Windows 95 on board, later 98 and ME (the last one was due to my brother's decision, ugh, it was a bad system).

My first games were some small stuff made in times of Windows 3.1 like Bow and Arrow or Diamond Thief, plus second Prehistorik and demo of Trolls (this weird DOS platform game). A bit later I started to have some full games from magazines about video games with included CD. But my first "true" full game, in box, original and not from gaming magazine, was probably first Croc. And it's still a good game :) To be honest, IMO it's better than highly praised back in 90' Super Mario 64.
I've lost my copy from childhood, but about year ago (or two?) I've decided to buy Croc again, together with Croc 2 on ebay.

I'm really glad that somewhere around beginning of XXI century CD-Projekt started to release first Extra Klasyka series (older games for 19,90 PLN each), it was my main source (aside from gaming magazines) of full games in those times.
