Commodore 64 I was 5 at the time. Fortunately my grandfather and uncle where both computer geeks. I still have the first PC I built. I think it was a 333Mhz processor. Back in the when there was no internet and, we had to use bulletin boards. When Wolfenstien 3D was the shit, "My Naval!". I think it had a 900 bauds modem. That's the slowest modem I remember installing anyways. I miss DOS. lol

First 'owned' PC: Compaq Presario CDS 833. Dad bought it only after I sold my NES, SNES and SEGA for a fraction of the cost they were worth. He assumed it would help me 'kick' my video game habit, but it only made it worse.

The only good thing about this computer was the smoke it produced after the fireworks display put inside of it.

My very first ever PC EVER was the Amiga 500 with an amazing 1/2mb RAM,
and my 3 favorite games were Defender of the Realm (kinda like an early version of Medieval Total War),
Silent Service (WW2 sub sim), and the F-19 Fighter Sim
