What was your first computer ?

I'm really surprised nobody said Apple ][ or Atari 400/800. Those were as common as dirt. Sadly I missed most of the 8-bit classics and went straight to an A500.

My first computer was an Atari 1040STf, got it in 1988 I think...
I used to play Dungeon Master, Captive, Turrican, Populous, and so many other games.
At this time, I started to learn programming (68000 assembly language, GFA Basic) and I was addicted to the first version of POV (Persistance Of Vision) with its nice macro programming language!

Before that, in my friend house, I used Thomson MO5 (with its awful rubber keyboard) and Amstrad CPC6128

An now, beside CPU collecting, I try to gather any vintage computer from this period of time (just 10 different ones for now).

i only had a computer when i was 20 yo or so.. was a Cyrix 686 with sd ram and cant remember other details..
since i was a child i dreamed to have a computer.. now i have a big collection )

I think that your dream came true )) Surely we all were children, after ZX I have a SNES then SegaMD2 but all it were consoles not PCs. PCs at that "ancient" time in my country costs like a car, so it was like a dream. Now I have some hundred cpus and several dozen motherboards so I can make any PC from my childhood

Videoton TVC 64k+ in 1989. It's a Hungarian Z80-based home computer, partly based on the Enterprise AFAIK. It had 64k system RAM, 15-color graphics (the ugly basic ), 4 video pages (64k video ram), 1 voice sqare wave, no sprites or special hardware.

But in a few years I got two FDDs for it, together with a DOS cartridge so it could run some early Turbo Pascal

The first computer that my family had when I was a kid was an Amstrad PPC512. Two floppy drives, no hdd and a black and white CGA monitor. (Or, if you really wanted to, a non-backlit monochrome LCD). I still have this computer and it still works. Lots of good old DOS games were played on it.

First computer I had myself was a 386SX-25 that was a hand me down from the family. I soon upgraded to a 486DX2-66 and later a 486DX4-100. Skipped the Pentium era completely and upgraded the 486 to a Celeron 333.
