I used my dad's 386, until he decided to upgrade to a 486 and donated me an old monochrome 286. Soon after he upgraded to a pentium I got his 486 (wich was also about around 1994/1995).
My cousins had an Amiga, and the first thing that I noticed was the outstanding sound from Xenon 2 and Lotus 2 (or 3). So I bought of my savings a sound blaster clone for my 486, for a whopping 200 guilders ($100, approximately) only to notice it wasn't supported by Xenon 2 and the sound of Lotus was much less impressive. Wolfenstein, Doom, Dune 2 and Day of the Tentacle were very cool however.
