I had an Atari ST after my C-64 that I played a of games on. I might
count my intellivision before the C-64, All I remember liking was the
D&D game, tennis, and blackjack, though those aren't PC games.

Well, those old computers are personal. ;) Even Macs.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, the 3 games I mentioned were on the

I remember something about people using one of the PS iterations for running servers with Linux because the HW was cheaper at the performance than PC hardware. Sony of course tried to kill that off.
yeah, the PS3 was priced as a loss leader, on the assumption that people would buy more games. Of course then it turned out it was a great way to get hardware for a cheap price. It was a thing for a while.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_cluster I remember using GEOS on a c-64 for my mom's business for a bit, though a c-64 is a PC, just didn't come with an WYSIWYG os.

Yeah, I wouldn't call the C64 anything but a PC really. But I do remember that it started back then when they decided to split up categories into C64, Atari ST, Amiga,... and the (IBM) PC
(Macs? Macs were circling the drain for years. Noone wanted a Mac. That company wouldn't exist in one or two years...)
