Around the time I got my A500, my neighbour's dad bought a PC that ran California Games in CGA at about one frame per second. I'm sure there were much better PCs available, but it didn't impress us kids much. They _did_ have Leisure Suit Larry though...

Sounds like something like Amstrad PC1512 - ~$100 cheaper than Amiga 500, cheaper even that Atari 520ST with mono monitor.
