First games ever was on some Soviet era computers, don't remember exactly.
First big hit on PC for me personally was Prince of Persia.
Prince of Persia was awesome..
probably my first pc game. Found a glitch on the first level to pass without the sword.
Had older games on spectrum but not memorable
reply
Yes, you can finish first level without that first fight. Time was important there. Have you finished it? I did, few times, but took some time to manage that.
reply
No, never finished.
Always got stuck somewhere..
Shit was not easy..

also, I appreciate the username @486DX2, I'm happy for you that you have a co-processor... :)

The brutal truth is that I only actually had an SX25... I never got the 66mhz beast I really wanted and clearly, I never got over it.
reply
DX2 66 MHz wasn't the real beast, DX4 100 Mhz was! :)
For SX25 I would not even switch to 486, had AMD Am386 40 MHz (fastest 386, Intel only had 33 MHz) with external FPU (don't remember what was the manufacturer of that, some other company IIRC) before.

Ahhh but I was coming from a 286 10mhz and probably got sucked in by the 486 hype. I do now to seem to remember those meaty 386s. Good times.
I feel the pain! :) I managed to get Pentium 1 75MHz for Socket 4 and it was overheating...

Pre proper cooling tech eh? I think there were even clip-on co processors weren't there? Cyrix rings a bell?
