My first experience with the computers

"The" can sometimes be used to describe things in general, but those are generally situations in which we're focusing more on the concept of something.

My experience with computers started, I suppose, in late 1980’s, when PCs were quite rare things but werebut very fashionable and were athe subject of rumors and semi-scientific stories.

I was a schoolchild on thatduring times, and my father worked infor an organization which used large computing machines and also PCs.

"Schoolboy" or "schoolgirl" would sound better.

Once, he brought me to his work to show me thatan amazing thing – a PC (now I think thait was something like an IBM PC/XT).

Of course, what I could I learn to use at first was some software, and since I was a child, of course that software wereof course consisted of games.

Later, I founlearned the name of one of those games – it was Digger, one of the most famous games ofn early PCs.

By the way, in my opinion, games were much interesting on thatduring those times than they are today,. I meanrefer to scripts of games, because those who made them had to be more creative to make games attractive game in conditions of poor resources of the computeriven poor computing resources.

My elder brother madebuilt for me bywith his hands a home computer, thatwhich was a clone of the ZX Spectrum computer, but in fact, i. It was a real computer!

"Built" is better.

"In fact" suggests an idea that extends an argument that has already been described, so it doesn't work here. "But" also doesn't work here because it's in opposition to "my elder brother built," not "which was a clone." If you wanted to keep "but," I would make split the sentence and write: "It was a clone of the ZX spectrum computer, but it was a real computer!"

Maybe somebody still remembers that cultic computer of the 80s.

Nowadays it may seems to be weird, but this computer used a TV as a monitor and a tape recorder as external memory.

But nevertheless, software companies of thate times managed to make really nice games.

So I started my acquaintance with PCs with games that were recorded on ordinary tape recorders.

Every time I wanted to play it, I had to load it from a compact cassette into computer memory, and it took around 5 minutes, and even could even failed, if the tape wasere damaged.

For tToday, it sounds like absolutely madness.

Soon, I became botired of all thatose games, and I began to think how toabout how I could make my own game.

I started to learn a programming language – the computer had BASIC embedded Basic languageinto it.

It gave mewas a lot of fun, but I quickly realized that the speed of my programs were not sufficient to make really dynamic moving in theement in games.

Then I decided to learn Aan assemblery language.

My last program was 16 kilobytes long of pure Assemblery, but I still had not made a game.

But I was still a schoolchild, and time came to get in theenroll in university, soand I had to prepare to do thisspend time on that instead.

When I became a student, I acquired a normal PC, like IBM-typthe IBM machine, and the work with ZX Spectrum was dropped.

My new computer had a 486- processor, and an MS-DOS operational system (who can remember ithis now?).

And on thatDuring those times, I became familiar with Windows, version 3.1, thatwhich was like a graphical addition to MS-DOS, and software like Microsoft Word and Excel.

The exact rules for "that" and "which" can be confusing, but after a comma, "which" should generally be used.

Then, I sold that computer and bought a new one, that wasa PC with Pentium-1 CPU, and the Windows’ 95 OS.

Then, I upgraded it to Windows’ 98.

And, eEventually, I got rid of that computer….

Sentences should rarely start with "and." As far as I can tell, it's only appropriate if you're trying to achieve a particular style or if you're writing a relatively complicated sentence.

My first experience with the computers

the computer implies one specific computer, computers is more general

My experience with computers started, I suppose, in the late 1980’s, when PCs were quite rare things but werebut very fashionable and were a subject of rumors and semi-scientific stories.

This is not so much grammar as writing style. It's more native sounding this way, but what you had was grammatically correct.

I was a schoolchild onat that times, and my father worked in an organization which used large computing machines and also PCs.

Once, he brought me to his work to show me that amazing thing – a PC (now I think that it was something like an IBM PC/XT).

Of course, what I could I learn at first was some software, and since I was a child, of course that software wereas games.

Later, I found the name of one of the games – it was Digger, one of the most famous game ofs for early PCs.

By the way, in my opinion, games were much interesting oin thatose times than today, I mean scripts of games, because those who made them had to be more creative to make an attractive game in conditions ofgiven the poor resources of the computers then.

My elder brother made for me by his hands a home computer, thame a home computer from scratch. It was a clone of ZX Spectrum computer, but in factnonetheless, it was a real computer!

You could say "He handmade me a home computer, which isn't grammatically correct but a native speaker would totally understand in this context."

Maybe somebody still remembers that cultic computers of the 80s.

Add the for decades - the 1980s, the 20s etc. Cult here to means a group of people are obsessed with a product or a movie, but cultic would imply an actual cult with devil-worship or something.

Nowadays it may seems to be weird, but this computer used a TV as a monitor and a tape recorder as external memory.

More articles - tricky stuff!

But nevertheless, the software companies of that times managed to make really nice games.

of that time/ of those times are both correct. Those is plural, that is singular

So I started my acquaintamy first experience with PCs was with games that were recorded on an ordinary tape recorder.

Every time I wanted to play it I had to load it from compact cassette into computer memory, andwhich it took around 5 minutes, and even could failed, if the tape was damaged.

fixed up the sentence structure so instead of multiple clauses it's an independent clause and a relative one
could + infinitive

For tToday it would sounds like absolutely madness.

Soon I became bored of all thatose games, and I began to think about how to make my own game.

that/those

It gave mewas a lot of fun, but I quickly realized that the speed of my programs wereas not sufficient to make really dynamic movingement in the game.

speed is singular so it's was

moving is a participle, movement is the abstract noun.

But I was still a schoolchild, and the time came to get in theapply to universityies, so I had to prepare to do this instead.

When I became a student, I acquired a normal PC, like IBM-type, and the work with the ZX Spectrum was dropped.

My new computer had a 486-processor, and an MS-DOS operational system (who can remember it now?).

And onat that times I became familiar with Windows, version 3.1, thatwhich was like a graphical addition to MS-DOS, and software like Microsoft Word and Excel.

At that time - one specific time
in those times - more general

Then, I sold that computer and bought a new one, thatwhich was a PC with Pentium-1 CPU, and Windows’95 OS.
