My first memory of a family computer was the IBM PS/2 in the late eighties.
Played a lot of Papyrus Indy 500

Also a compaq presario, but I think it was a couple years later.
I remember that game!
Dambusters is the first computer game I can remember.
since this is a nostalgia thread...anyone else play "leisure suit larry"?
did you have to get your parents to answer the "child-proof" questions to unlock the game?

Yes, we had Leisure Suit Larry. Forgetting to use the prophylactic when with the hooker was the first life lesson as a kid.
It was one of the first 1,000 made so I was told. Also it had a massive 8K memory upgrade.
MOS 6502, 1MHz

Does anyone remember having to use a boot up disk?
In 1984, I was the only guy on my floor that had a computer in my room. It started up with a boot disk (floppy), then you had to load the program disks (WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3) each time. I think it had 20mb hard drive.
I'm getting ready to send 6 boxes of the things off to somewhere in NY to be imaged for this massive archival project. Apparently people just tossed old software over the years so a lot of it basically no longer exists as far as anyone knows.
Commodore 64. Then an Amiga 500 deluxe with a full megabyte of memory!
Apple IIe - with European keyboard layout and 220v power supply.
We had "Apple II plus" at school.

This was my 2nd computer (family computer). The first was also a Compaq but didn't have a CD Rom. I was so hyped for this one though... CD-Rom... The future! I bought wing commander 3 starring Mark Hammil!
386
VIC-20 then Commodore-64. Parents could barely afford it, but I convinced them computers would be big someday.
TRS-80, then later an Apple IIc. Took a 386-20 to A&M and even got the math co-processor!
Apple IIe.

Commodore 64. No disk drive at first. They gave me a big book of BASIC computer games. I'd spend hours typing in code only for a stupid game that I would lose when I turned it off. Man I loved that thing!
Osborne 1
My earliest family PC I remember in the early 90's was running DOS, had a dot-matrix printer, ran dial-up and could barely run prince of persia. No clue on the CPU at the time though.
Family's first computer:
ahhhh, the Commodore 64.
Of course, my Dad didn't spring for the floppy drive. No, he went with the tape drive:
which took an hour to load a game.
My first CPU in college was a Compaq Presario like this one:
