What was YOUR first/worst PC like?

[Gyorkland]

when I was a child I thought computers were only for work so I never asked my folks to buy one but in 95 my father had to buy one because he needed to learn how to use M. office and it was a custom PC made by some random dude don´t remember about the ram size but I do remember that it had the huge capacity of 1gb in hardrive. and it came packed with lots of games like Doom, Duke nukem with all the weapons activated don´t know how, pitfall and many others,then somebody borrowed me a little game called warcraft II tides of darkness it was soo awesome I love blizzard since that day I remember we upgraded it to" windows 98 plus!" then it passed away in a sunny day of 99.RIP

Mine was this lovely piece of work. I think it's still in my parents house, I should go digging for it.




After that, we bought a Tandy 1000.



Those were the days... I still remember some of my favorite games.

LOL now, but consider the positive aspect of this. Instead of relying on half-ass visuals or filler cinematics, you actually had to use your imagination to create the amazing world. It was awesome. As a teen, I was one of those AD&D geeks. I still find that nothing beats that sort of gaming. It's not as visual and is, frankly, gdamn dorky, but you get to be a kid again and enter a land of make believe. You're not constrained to some artist's vision of a world. Everybody's experience is personalized. That, imo, is what's currently missing in modern PC/console RPGs. I loved the old school use your imagination way.
