Amstrad CPC464 followed by a generic 386 machine, my memory is fuzzy. I played endlessly from the rich catalog of games on the CPC464 (Roland on the Ropes, Dizzy, Way of the Exploding fist) and of course played Wolfenstein and Doom on the 386.

I finally played Deathtrap Dungeon again, 27 years after it was released. I think I only ever played a demo back in 97 or 98. It's an odd feeling but I realize just how much it is an influence on DQR even though I barely played it or remember it.
