PII 333, 32Mb RAM, 8 mb video, SoundBlaster 64 - year 1999
later that year upgraded to 16mb video - 3dfx voodoo3 2000
then after some months to 64mb RAM (to be able to play Outcast)
again about half a year later to 128 mb RAM
and I'm still using it as it is
getting a new one in a few days though

I have no idea, because I did not use the computer for entertainment until I was in grade 9. We got it in grade 9, and I didn't have Internet till the latter part of that school term. So I suppose it's right to say my first puter is Dell Dimension 4100.

The very first computer I had - the one I learnt BASIC on - was an Epson pocket computer. It had about 4 KB total memory (that's 4 kilobytes, not 4 megabytes!), an LCD screen with one row and about 80 characters, a tiny keyboard, and a thermal printer about the width of a supermarket receipt roll.
The first computer I had which was anything like a modern PC was an Atari 800. It was a 64 KB machine, 48 KB of which could be used for BASIC programming. I wrote a lot of adventure games for it, some of which broke the memory limit! Originally, I had a cassette drive, which stored programs on ordinary audio cassettes. To load a 10 KB program would take about a minute. Later, I got a 5 1/4" floppy drive which stored a maximum of 90 KB on each side of the disk. However, if you punched another hole opposite the write-protect hole on one side of the floppy you could use the reverse side of the disk too, which effectively halved the cost of disks.
The Atari 800 had some great games and the architecture of the computer was innovative in a lot of ways for the time.
Many of the games I owned were typed in from magazines.

The first PC I ever owned was a Pentium 15 mhz, 25 when turbo'd =P The game I played the most on it was the old Duke Nukem shareware game for Win 3.1, and of course MS Paint =P
My first console was a NES, where I played mostly Duckhunt and Mario. IMO Mario on the NES and SNES still hasn't been beaten by the 64 or the GC.

Ooh, I forgot game consoles.
The first one I <b>played</b> was one of those black and white "TV games" consoles which had a series of Pong-like games. The graphics were perhaps 200 × 100 resolution or something like that, and the game controllers were paddles which controlled "bats" at each side of the screen. The "ball" was a square blob. The console also had a target shooting mode, and you got a light-sensitive gun with the thing, which you aimed at moving dots on the screen to score points.
The first one I <b>owned</b> was an Atari 2600 console. Cartridge games included:
Space Invaders
Missile Command
Pac Man
Adventure
Pele Soccer
Brain Games
Tanks
