I hear you. My first computer was also a 286, which would have also been around 1992. I also had a Sanyo MBC-550 in 1993, which was bought for $10 in a second hand shop. Both PCs had monochrome monitors; the 286 with an amber screen (with Pizza Hut burned in on it) and the MBC-550 had the original green screen.
My 286 had a 20MB hard drive and went straight to DOS (no Windows on it), and had a handful of games on it. Some of the games would run on the MBC-550, but not all because of the differences between the two systems, and it also only had 2 5.25 drives for storage, and no hard drive at all. Neither system had Windows, it was all DOS back then (DOS 6.22 for the 286, and whichever version of DOS which came with the MBC-550's original Sanyo disks, possibly DOS 3). Sadly, both machines went out in the hard rubbish in around 1995, with my next PC being a modern Pentium 166 unit in late 1996.
