Remember the old Radio Shack 100? Sort of a laptop I guess, if you can handle 10 lines of text. Came with 4kb of ram, you hooked up your tape recorder to keep the program you typed into it. Ahhh, memories!

Old Skool

I have an old 386 that I play games like Kings Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, Loom, and Wolfenstein 3D on. Damn the old games were kool.

Wolfenstein, now there's a game I could actually win without cheating! I hooked up the sound to my stereo, had the cops out one night because a neighbor thought I was shooting dogs. :)

Seems some of those games won't run nowadays.

Remember the gave HACKER? It was one 5.25" floppy, with no directions, and ran at 4.77MHz. You booted from the disk and got the LOGON: prompt and had to guess the password. It took me about 2 weeks to get the password but I never did finish. Then I got a 12MHz PC and the game never worked even with TURBO turned off.

You know you're getting old when you can remember the TURBO button on PCs!
