My first computer experience was a 386 that my parents bought. It ran some
MS-DOS shell with a textbased GUI. My biggest interest was games, and with
shareware abound,there wasn't any shortage. I think they bought it in 1990,
but my memory is hazy on what games I played. Captain Comic and Commander
Keen always come to mind. Nott sure if I played either ZZT or Kingdom of Kroz
since they both look similar.

The computer later got updated to Windows 3.1, then my dad
bought a Creative Labs multimedia kit -which was a fancy phrase for a CD-ROM,
sound card, and speakers. A bunch of Lucasarts adventure games were thrown in
, too. We really only got that in first place because Alone in the Dark
required a soundcard for music.

King's Quest 6 really stood out on a computer back then, but instead of a CD
we had the version that came on 11 5.25in floppies.
