Brought by my father to run his business, this was my first introduction to an IBM PC clone. Costing around £1,200, it had 4 megabytes of RAM, 40 megabyte harddisk, an Intel 80286 12 megahertz processor, Video Graphic Array(VGA), keyboard and 14 inch monitor. My father also purchased MS-DOS 3.3 and Microsoft Windows/286. This is also when I started playing games like those shown below.
Origin, Wing Commander
Virgin Games, Super-Off Road
Accolade, Star Control
