Nice, that was our first as well! Fortunately my dad kept it, so in theory it should still work.

One of my oldest memories is hearing that digitized guitar intro of Mach 3 for the first time. I've played so many hours of Digger on that machine.

Same here! Hearing that coming out of a pc speaker was mesmerizing.

Our M24 broke down at some point. My dad took it away to get repaired and just left it there, he said "it couldn't be fixed, they said" :(

Another game that made a similar impression was Mean Streets [1], but this was on my 286 with VGA.

Years after I had moved out of the house I was horrified to find out that my Mom had tossed out all my old computer stuff without telling me (I had two Olivetti 286's, a 16 and 25 Mhz).
