Dell!

It was an all in one Gateway. It had the tower attached to the screen and the hard drive. It looked like a television with a DVD player and a VCR built in. Bigger and heavier than the original computer that had to be stored in a gigantic suitcase. It sucked!

A Timex-Sinclair 1000. Tape recorder to store programs. A TV set as a monitor.

Commodore 64. Very basic now but it was awesome at the time. And the games, broadly, were really enjoyable.

It was a TRS-80 Color Computer 2 from Radio Shack, with a tape recorder. The year was 1983 and one of the first things I got was a whole load of tapes from a friend, with proggies on them. I had a field day. I choice the computer over a Brother typewriter and haven't looked back at that decision to this day.

1982, Minot Air Force Base, ND. I haven't met anyone who has had one of these.. Vic 20 It was a pre-Commodore 64. It was just a keyboard and it hooked to the TV. It used a cassette tape to load the OS! It came with a modem and a free trial to Compuserve..only Black and White text, like a BBS to type to other people "online"! It was crazy!
-
Had a Beltron XT I did have a computer before that, it was made by Atari, can't recal the model though nor did I ever use it for anything more than games. So the first computer I actually used for it's intended purpose other than playing games was the Beltron.
-
I loved my old Sinclair Spectrum and sometimes wish that games today relied on playability to the same degree instead of sounds and graphics.

A clone, dont remember what

An Apple II Plus that I used to write programs in BASIC on. I got it for free from someone that was going to trash it.

An Adam. It plugged into the tv for a screen and had games on cartridge tapes! I wanted my son to have a computer in the home before he started school, and it was cheap enough I could afford it.
-
My first system, I put together myself 'way back in the 80s. As I recall, it was a 10 MHz '286. I spent huge amounts of money on a Miniscribe 40 MB full-height hard drive, a real Hercules graphics board and (if I remember right) a Princeton 12" amber monochrome monitor. OH: also, a real IBM keyboard. I also bought the real IBM DOS and Desqview.
