this.

and they weren't actually mine, but belonged to my parents/grandparents. my maternal grandpa had a couple old beige terminal computers next to a pachinko machine he brought back from korea. my paternal grandpa had several beige computers that took 5.5 inch floppies and he'd show me how to get games on them.

Some Siemens piece of shit that had pentium II in it.

ibm 5150
long obsolete when I got it
but as a kid I was happy to have my own computer.

Mine was a Russian clone of ZX Spectrum called Delta S, the same as on the pic.

I'm in the "some beige" camp too, i knew it was a "286 with 1MB ram" but no more than that. It only had a 5.25'' drive and i would put a floppy with Prehistorik1 to play on it. The fact that DOS would start up automatically means it had some sort of hard disk installed.

A Macintosh II. Belonged to the parents and it's the last Mac I ever used.

>it's the last Mac I ever used

CPC-464, the entry level model with the cheaper monochrome screen, not the more expensive monochrome with the glass plates. Had the light pen addon for it too which was neat but mostly useless.

Eventually upgraded to the colour screen and it blew my fucking mind.

Ashamedly I used it more for gaming than I did writing essays on, absolutely adored "Lords of Time" by level 9, never did finish it.

Wish I still had the machine so I could give the old game another go.

The first computer in my house was an Apple IIc I think

The first computer that was mine was a Gateway Astro

>>59724909
Besides "some beige", the first one to my name was an eMachines with an athlon 64 4400+, 256mb of ram, and a 80(?) gb hdd. Circa 2004, if memory serves correctly

>>59725168
You didn't succeed financially as well as your parents did, uh?

Me too.

>>59724909
Some Packard Bell 486 SX/33 thing. 4 MB of RAM. Played a lot of Doom on that bitch.

My mom had some version of the Macintosh SE, first memory of ever using a computer. Some years later my brother got himself some random DOS PC and played DOOM with me when I was 5.

I still own that Macintosh, it works but its just decoration now.

>>59726180
Just checked, it acutally is a Macintosh SE FDHD, even got the picture right.

It was an outdated piece of crap at the time and Apple computers are no longer good. Of all places to find a normie Apple dicksucker /g/ is not what I would expect but keep eating up the memes, dumbass.

First computer pictured but I feel the same way about its rubber-keyed successor as you do.

What is it about the 48k spectrum that evokes such feelings? A machine with soul.

>>59725238
Hah. Lodestone to get the keys from under the shed. Use the mirror on the Narcissus. Enter clock, turn cog #, swing pendulum.

Didn't finish it either but I can remember it perfectly even after all these years. It felt vast.

Text adventures were great.

So what you're saying is that you didn't succeed financially as well as your parents did

It was an amstrad, my best friend had a commodore 64 but I always assumed I knew more about computers and thusly thought out little old amstrad was the dogs bollocks

>>59728356
Oh man, just read the manual (which I, er, never had at the time).
You're supposed to do the time zones in order? FUCK.

On the bright side I finished Manic Miner under emulation the other week. Took me 34 years. Valhalla next I think.

>Manic Miner

Holy fuck, my fave game of my 8-bit era. I never did complete JetSet Willy tho. It was fucking impossible.

>>59728267
I agree though, but they had quite great machines after the Macintosh II line.

I believe it was the Amiga 500. I used to play Silkworm on it & probably some other games. But this game was thee only one I really remember.

I had a C64 when my niece got one of these years ago. I was slightly envious of the higher colour palette. I loved my C64 tho.

I had one of these when I was just a wee lad

It was some cartridge-based toy thing made by VTech, got it when I was 7. Black on grey LCD pixel goodness. One of the cartridges (and I think the only one I ever got anyway) ran BASIC. I may be far too young for Commodores and the like but I still got to play with meaningful computing at a young age. Familia did me a solid on that one.

Some Gateway running Windows ME. I don't exactly miss that thing comsidering I had it until shortly after Vista came out.

>>59728433
I've never finished JSW either, I believe it was bugged so literally impossible to complete but this only came out years later.

Speaking of 8 bit classics, this is literally the strangest thing that ever happened:

I recently cleared out my loft and found my C64, boxed and still in its original protective bag. I'm scared to power it on in case it blows up.

Some Beige Shit. It had a turbo button and a key lock. It had Commander Keen 4, that shit ruled

same senpai desu. It works, mostly, but I don't have all of the system software
I remember when I was 5 or so and I walked in on my brother and his friends playing a game, he told me it's not for kids and I should leave. I remember I made a note "it's like you can see like the guy does and he kills monsters". I'm not certain but I think it was Half Life. My brother isn't into video games any more so I never asked
