Some really old piece of shit that had only 5 games on it and nothing else.
Nothing. Not even a media player.

Calculator.
Seriously, I don't even know the specs for it, I was so young. I know it was running Windows '98, and it had Microsoft combat flight simulator, Need for Speed: High Stakes, and NASCAR : Legends. (I actually found the disk for NFS:High Stakes, but it doesn't run on XP. Sucks.)

A Dragon 32, bet no-one remembers them, before the days of the commodore and spectrum.
I think they were a challenger to the BBC Micro.

It had windows 98 and had bomberman on it..
It was a dell, and kind of looked like this. It also was setup so the motherboard could get pulled out or eventually bend if you weren't careful with the power cord every time.

Oh it was awesome. That one meg video ram allowed me to play Myst, Doom (original), Doom 2, and the 7th Guest. I was in Nerd heaven. I could have actually paid like $500 USD more and had it upgraded to...TWO MEGS OF VIDEO RAM. All for super awesome gaming. Instead I lived with what I had graphically and spent $200 USD for a new fangled 14.4kbit telephone modem. Thus the introduction of cyberporn to meArtorius said:1MB of VIDEO RAM.GrandAm said:
