What was your first game and computer

[DEATH eVADER]

"This will run on my 486"

This quote inspired me to create this thread. Well I can honestly tell you my first computer was a 486, the specs can be found below.

Processor: 486DX/66MHz
Memory: 8Mb Ram
Hard-Drive: 200Mb
Graphics: 2Mb intergrated Graphics
Sound: Sound Blaster (forgot which type)

The computer was shipped with two games:
Steller7
Kings Quest 6 (I think)

But the game I liked playing on was Transport Tycoon which I bought immediatly when it came out.

The computer that I got now is:
Processor: AMD ATHLON XP2000+
Memory: 768Mb Ram
Hard Drive: 40Gb
Graphics: 64Mb GeForce4 MX440
Sound: Augiby2

So, what did you have? Computer and Games

Captain Comic on a 286 with a monochrome screen. I don't know what the other specs would've been.

 

[Dynasty]

i had a 486 (LMAO). first ever game was the lion king, which you had to install in DOS...omg that was so long ago. ahahahahahaha installinng games via DOS ahaahahahah.

but then came the legend of all games: C&C. mmmmmmmmmm.

lol just remembered that my first even seperate gcard was a vodoo 2...............(stop laughing at the back!).

Can't quite remember all the specs:

Amstrad 286
4 or 8 MB RAM
120MB HDD (I think)

PC speaker sound only.

First game was F-19 stealth fighter and some Grand Prix game (well the first I remember).
Got a load of random games bundled onto floppys, probably still got them somewhere.

I remember when the first doom came out, it only just ran on this, at about 5 fps, lol and pc speaker sound, no music.

Next comp was a 386 laptop, then after was a P120

Operation WOLF on an amstrad machine of sorts

It was great! Me and brother struggled so hard, but never got past the second level ;(

Some stupid golf game on PC with a two color screen (orange and blue? WTF!!!)

I had a 128 mn ram, 32m graphics card, 1.5 ghz uber- shiity machine before i got this one. the first games came with it in a bundle- "lander", which i couldnt control; mechwarrior, which i couldnt complete the first level; rollercoaster tycoon (which was fun) and some rally game the i hated.

overall i thought PCs were pretty shit- bear in mind that i had a playstation and it was about 5 years ago

Pac-Man - Atari

I had a 386. It came with a cartoon making thingy, but the first proper game was Wolfenstien. Har, I was there. I grew up on Wolf then doom then quake then HL. I was blessed.

 

[Warbie]

ZX Spectrum!

First game was Eric and the Floaters (before it became Bomberman)

 

[-JeZ-]

ZX Spectrum 48K (rubber keyboard!, before the 48K
and the 128K machines) and I think it was Horace goes Skiing!

 

[KagePrototype]

Hugo's Haunted House on a .286. I could hardly even play it let alone solve any puzzles, so I just hung out in the scientist's laboratory and get shrunk and stuff.

 

[The Dark Elf]

I think mine was C5 Clive on the ZX Spectrum 48k. First proper computer and me, my sister and my dad sat around for ages trying to work out how to make it load a game.

Spectrums rocked!

 

[Epyon]

Hmmmm...when i got my first computer, which was actually the "family" computer i was to young to know what it was, but the first game i played on it was ether some side scrolling mega man game, or Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego.

 

[dawdler]

An age old Atari was my first... And after that an uber DX4/100.

I cant remember my first games... I do remember one though: Corncob. Shooting triangles and spheres is so cool!
Actually it was a pretty advanced game, sort of like a primitive BF1942 without multiplayer.

[Some_God]

I was too young to remember stats but It was a AST comp... my first game was DOOM!!!!

 

[Asus]

The first all new PC I bought and built myself was my AMD Athlon 600MHz PC.
The first PC my parents had and that I played on was a Tandy Z80 (Motorola) with Tank and Space invaders which they got back in 1983-84. Then they got a 8086 based Sanyo and a 10MB harddrive a few years later I believe, woo hoo!

 

[Adidajs]

first family computer - 486 computer. A10 Warthog first game. awesome. i wish i could find that game. SOOO much fun taking out tanks. i was hooked on computer games after that.

my first computer 486 sx2 50mhz. i still think we have it at home somewhere.

 

[Roland Deschain]

I am pound to say that my first PC game was HL1. Yes, HL1, and I was naive enough to belive that all games on the PC would be so good.

I played it originally on a 133 CPU, 32RAM, no graphics acceleraton on 600x400 (software). Good times.

 

[DarkStar]

I think my first PC game was Monkey Island 2. Good way to start.

 

[CrazyHarij]

My family had an Amiga before I was born so I grew up with it. I loved games like Turrican and Project X.

 

[gh0st]

MY first computer was a 486/66 w/ elite turbo button. which bumped the fsb up to... something. MY first game that i actually bought was fleet defender gold.
