It was in a year now long forgoten, back in 1983. It was early winter with no snow yet. My father, my brothern and my grandma went to Austria and smuggled back to Jugoslavija a Commodore 64. It had a tape drive and was hooked to the TV. They also bought the original game GHOSTBUSTERS with it. But alas, they forgot to buy a joystick... So no games untill next week.

Ever since I just loved the old C64 (still have it, and it's still hooked up to my TV). Still works and has a 1451 floppy drive too. Great machine - and probably older then quite a few of our regular mambers here .

my Amiga 600 PWN the Compaq!!!
maybe. but a600 is the worst amiga. i know, i had one. a500 was better, and obviously, a1200 was better than either.. especially with 030 50mhz and 16mb ram n_n [/b][/quote]
Between regular A500 and A600HD, A600HD is much better just because of HD. A500 was more compatible. And yes, Amiga was better gaming platform then PC at the time.

I had A500+ with HD and 1.5MB of memory. (Kickstart 2.04)

But before that I had C64, which was great for games at the time.

First computer I touche was ZX Spectrum 48, and first basic program done on Apple II. :blink:

My first computer was C64 that I got from a friend in 1994, and it didn't work at all, so I couldn't use it. LOL
5 months after I got a 486DX2 66Mhz PC, and it was my first computer then. Imagine, I used it until 2002, upgraded to Pentium 100 though, before I got the current P4 2.4Ghz, now upgraded to 2.8 Ghz.

486DX4/100 with 800 MB HDD (later another 2,1 gig one was added) and 4 MB RAM (later upped to 8 and even later to 24), with a 1 MB video card (and none of subsequent upgrades worked so I was stuck with that). This was ten years ago. PC was sh*tty, maybe, but reliable up to its last hours. Expired on October last year.

Now I have 1,75 Ghz processor, 512 Mb RAM, 80 gig HDD and, I think, 128 MB card. Now that's SOME serious power...

My family had a C64 but I was too little to know how to use it.
Then in 95' My father opened up a PC arcade(not really sure how to call it)
We had 3 PCs (two 486 and one pentium) and a few sega consoles.
It was to play doom against human players, at first the whole neghboorhood was coming bu the business was ended iin 97' cause there was not enough money to upgrade hardware, and people were slowly getting their own PCs/consoles.
