I was a kid at the time and we had a Taiwanese IBM PC AT (12MHz 286) clone at home in Moscow which my dad who is a research scientist used for work. He bought it unofficially and it cost more than an apartment. I remember making a very simple space shooter in Turbo Basic on it. For three days during the putsch the computer would not turn on. We still don't know why. Amazingly, the computer still works.
