My first machine was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum....which I've still got in perfect working order.

  The adventure games for it, like the Hobbit, were ace, it was so exciting when you found a bit that had graphics as well as just text.

I still have one with over 100 games for it.
Nifty Lifty was one of my better games.

I can't believe I missed this thread, cheers to Reg for pointing it out.  I have no idea what my first computer was.  All I can remember is it was a massive beigey machine, which you could only play hangman and other such games on.  Then we went down the plus4, 64, amiga, pc route.  Every upgrade was amazing.  Emilyn Hughes on C64 & Platoon on the Amiga 500 were particular highlights.

You could edit the names, change the team colours, arrange you're own leagues, cups and tournaments, I loved that game!

Manic Miner & Jet Set Willy where superb.

Daily Thompsons Decathlon was a classic as well.  I used to love going up against Gus on the tug o' War.
