What was your first home computer and how powerful was it?

What kind of home computer did you and your family use? How powerful was it? What kind of programs did you run?


My family's first computer was an Amiga 500. I used to play Capone and F/A-18 Interceptor on it. My parents never used it for work.

It had a 7MHz CPU, 512kb of RAM, and no hard disk. Every program had to be loaded from a floppy disk.

It ran on a proprietary operating system called AmigaOS, also loaded from a floppy disk each time.

Betrayal at Krondor

Absolutely great game (based upon a great book series). The Moredhel chests were my favourite part of the game.

Riftwar Legacy was fantastic for being more accessible than LOTR but much higher quality than David Eddings. Definitely a major part of my adolescent fantasy reading.
