My first computer (not counting my sisters' aging ZX Spectrum+) was something called a Nikita PC Vivaz/PC Kid. It was essentially a famiclone with keyboard and mouse, in the shape of a tower PC.
It had quite a few programs like a word processor, spreadsheets, phone book, notes, a drawing application, some BASIC variant, and various games. It was obviously quite limited in what you could do with a 4KB of battery-backed RAM "disk" shared by all applications. It also had a slot for Famicom cartridges to play regular FC/NES titles with gamepads.
I remember my friends telling me it "wasn't a computer" because it had no monitor (the display was a regular TV), and it didn't "have Windows".
This was in 1998, and I still cringe to this day.
(My first x86 machine was a 200MHz Pentium MMX tower with IIRC 16MB of RAM and 1GB disk, in 2004)
Edit: also, I didn't experience the information superhighway until IIRC 2005, in the Uni's library
I remember my brother's ZX Spectrum with what we called a chewing gum keyboard.
He had games! And decades later most of these games are still around, only the graphics improve.
That's late. I remember dialing into the connection I got via uni in the early nineties. Damn I really dated myself now. Well, it's the normal amount.
My sisters' was the more modern 48K "Plus" version, with hard plastic keycaps and somewhat extended keyboard (separate arrow/delete/graphics shift/etc keys). Unfortunately I lost it somewhere in my storage room, and don't think it would even turn on at this point 😕
Yeah, there were some gems there. I'm particularly fond of Sir Fred, R-Type, Nodes of Yesod, and Atic Atac, and regularly fire up FUSE to play them 😁
