    Default Your First PC/Console (shared and unshared)... And so on.

    At some point we all had a PC, whether shared or not...

    When did you get your first PC? Was it handed down or bought a new ("for study purposes").

    The first one I had was shared - though it never really felt like it since I seldom got to use it.
    The next was another shared (handed down) but this actually felt like a shared computer.
    The next was my actual first PC bought with money I earned, so the shared one became sole property of my sibling.
    Now, however, I sit with my second new one which has been my most reliable to date.

    NES - "our" first gaming console
    SNES - our second gaming console
    PSOne - (shared) third
    PS2 - 2nd (sort of shared)
    PS3 - 3rd (sort of shared until I won my own)

    Commodore64 was my first shared PC. My father shared it with me and it stayed in my room......al those years ago.

    Thinking back now, I was the gamer of the household but they were always shared between my brother, father and myself.

    We had Vic 20 which made the commodore 64 look like a supercomputer.

    I remember games coming on a cassette tape.

    We first had the good old Golden China TV games, but the first PC we had was a 386... Then a 486... Then we got SERIOUS BUSINESS with a Pentium 1

    Started with a 186, then got a 286 and then a 486 and then the mighty pentium one with heretic, duke nukem, redneck rampage and jazz jackrabbit.

    Consoles started with a nes, then ps1, ps3 and now ps4.
