Amstrad 1640 The Amstrad 1640, brought out in 1985 was the first desktop PC to have a full qwerty keyboard. It came prepacked with GEM windows o/s and MSdos 3.1. The colour version had CGA graphics and in the model with a HDD it has a 10 megabyte hard disk drive. The floppy disk was a 5 1/4 inch drive. The game lemmings would run on the colour version as it was coded to be run on this platform. Even when 186 and 268 desktop came around they struggled to run lemmings smoothly.
