Just wonderering what everybodies favourite computer has been? It doesn't necessarily need to be one you had. I'll start... The Amiga 500.

I think it would have to be my Pentium 286(or was it 386? I don't remember). Ah... the memories, I learned how to type from it, as well as being exposed to vulgar humor at a very early age. Hehe "hmm... C...D... SIERRA...[Enter] leisuresuitlarry.exe[Enter]" Ah, so many strange memories, like learning how to lock my friends out of my PC by making a password to my screensaver. Hiding random files around the harddrive. hehehe.

Good old Spectrum +2A. From the days when games were good - you just had to wait for the tape to load - which used to take a while with those 128k games.

The Treble

My old Sun SPARCstation 5, now with 64MB RAM, 2GB HD... Still working good with Solaris 8 and Linux SPARC.

Not nec. my favorite, but it had some fond memories - the Tomy Tutor, because it had some great home conversions of Konami arcade games, like Pooyan, Scramble, and Jungler. Plus, it was just so damn obscure. :)

You typed .exe? heheh...yeah...fond memories of smut, like using Norton Commander to look @ BMP porn...good times

Hadto've been my 486/66...that thing lasted me a good 6 years before the harddrive went kaput. Learned to type on it, played Apogee shareware on it, and didn't install windows 95 until well into 1997. Nothing like connecting to AOL on a 14.4 modem using Win 3.11 when 56k was broadly availble...

Some great stuff for the amiga came out of that place, Alien Breed, Project X, Superfrog, Worms

I remember me and by bud would just load up some of these games just to listen to the music (Allister Brimble is a god :)

Ahh the memories :)

I'd pick the FM Towns by Fujistu, the first "32-bit" system or machine of any kind for gaming. It could run games extremely well, often aracde quality. It was kind of like "Japan's Amiga" but that could also be the Sharp's 16-bit X68000 (i'm trying to get an emu working for that) But back to the FM Towns, it came out in 1988 or 1989, had the first built in CD-ROM (at least in Japan) it was IBM/DOS compatable i think but had better video hardware than any IBM PC of the time (1024 sprites, 16m colors) FM Towns had alot of awesome games, even better than PC Engine, MegaDrive, SNES, Atari ST or even Amiga. And MUCH better than a regular PC, even though FM Towns used a 386, later 486. Fujitsu later made a console out of FM Towns(like Amiga CD32) in the form of the FM Towns Marty, it was released in 1991. Marty could play most of the FM Towns computer games, like CD32 could play Amiga and CDTV games. Some of the best games for FM Towns were supposed to be R-Type, AfterBurner, Scavanger 4, Splatter House, Tatsujin II (Truxton II) Turbo OutRun and an awesome conversion of Galaxy Force 2.

I wish I had an FM Towns!

I'd like these gaming computers in this order:

Fujitsu FM Towns
Sharp X68000
Commodore Amiga 1000/ 500/1200/3000/4000 etc.
