Note: DOS/Amiga/Mac/IIGS are 16 bit so they don't count. Only early consoles and non-PC micros here.
My favorite 8 bit computer was the Apple IIe:
One of the most incredible platforms ever made. Manufactured from 1977 to 1993 and with its open slot system, the hardware expansion cards developed over its life transformed the machine (double high-res graphics and colors, 3.5" floppy, HDD, Mockingbird sound, etc). Some of the late games were quite advanced and really pushed the system to its limit.
Some of my favorite games: Ultima 3, Karateka, Conan, Swashbuckler, Choplifter, Aztec, Prince of Persia, Spy vs Spy.
I also played on the Sega Master System II a bit, and I liked Golden Axe and Ultima 4.
