The first one I owned was a Micron P90, 16MB RAM, 14.4 modem, Matrox Millenium vid, AWE32 sound card, 1GB HD, Win 3.11. This was one of the P90s with the floating point bug so it got replaced after pissing all over Intel (cool phone call that was). Got the box in late 94 I believe.

I had played a few computer games previously but they were all on a buddy's Mac.

Other than something to play the original "Reach for the Stars" sim on, I have no idea. I was too inexperienced to realize I was gaming on an inferior platform. You have to remember that the playing field looked like this:

. . . . . . . . . . x . . . o
. . . x . . . o . . . . x . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

and the entire game was monochrome text-based  :D
