The first computer I played on was the TRS-80 (affectionately called the Trash 80)
Sample of the Hardware:
Hardware
The Model I combined the motherboard and keyboard into one unit, in what was to be a common case-design trend throughout the 8 and 16 bit microcomputer eras, although it had a separate power supply unit. It used a Zilog Z80 processor clocked at 1.77 MHz. The basic model originally shipped with 4 KiB of RAM, and later 16 KiB.
Look at that RAM baby...
Anyways, want to read more about this dinosaur.... CLICKY

All I remember was that it had a Voodoo 3.
I remember it like it was yesterday.
Tandy 1000 EX
The Tandy 1000 EX was designed as an entry-level IBM compatible personal computer. The EX was a compact computer that had the keyboard and 5.25" drive built into the computer casing. The 5.25" drive was accessible from the side of the computer, on the right hand side. The EX was marketed as a starter system for people new to computing, and sold for $1000.00 from Radio Shack in December of 1986.
King's Quest was my favorite!
funny thing when the 386 's came out we sold it for 500 including the floppy games, the guy that brought it was tickled pink to get all the games with it, looked like a kid in a candy shop carring his treasure when he left.......
Commodore C 64, the brown and rounded one, not the ugly white and boxy one, this was 85 or 86.
Had a tape drive.
Sold it for about 50 Euro, nowadays that particular model is something of a collectors item I hear.
But if I stll had it I would never sell it.
Wasnt to long ago I downloaded a c64 emulator along with about half a million games and had trip down memory lane.

Commodore 64. My 1541 drive had it's heads all screwed up thanks to fat tracking and bad sectors, the common copy protection schemes of the time. The only way I could get it to work toward the end of it's life was to lie it on it's side. Eventually replaced it with the Ferrari of Commodore Drives: The Indus GT. WOOT!
