My first PC was:
486 sx 33Mhz 0.5 MB RAM

after I did upgrade to 486DX/4 100Mhz 4MB RAM Smiley

year 1993 or 1994.

Tongue


Wow I remember the difference when I upgraded my CPU from 486 SX to DX (with the dedicated maths processor) - it was amazing! I measured how fast a computer was by how fast I could do a 'dir /s' and have it complete Smiley
I also had an 8086, 286, 386 SX and DX - the whole chain...

Before my SX I had amiga 600 and C-64 for a long time Smiley and then 486.
But my friend was owner of 286 Smiley

Yes - difference between SX and DX was amazing Tongue hehe...

I remember when playing VIVI - I was using turbo button to slow down the game.
DX was too fast for Vivi. Was like Vivi on steroids.

I forgot about Monkey Island and the Lemings...

I think I played Dune also... I forget. Sooo long ago. Tongue

Oh remember those top of the line computers...
586 Intels, 133 Mhz (Blazing fast, 166Mhz if you were rich!)
S3 video by Silicon Graphics... (Total crap but better than SVGA)
Sound-Blaster 16 or Dolphin Audio... EAX was a bonus.
8MB of RAM, 16MB if you had a "Gaming computer"
400MB Hard-Drives with 100MB Zip-Drives
Force-Feedback MINI-Gameport controllers
640x480 resolution, 800x600 if you were rich (Which no dos game ran well on)


Oh, that was the next-gen...

Most of us had... this crap...
386/486 Evergreen Overclocked 99Mhz CPU's
SVGA Video
Sound Blaster (The original. You were lucky it had stereo, and MIDI was a bonus.)
256KB RAM, 512KB if you were rich
10MB Hard-Drives, 16MB Hard-Drives if you were rich
7.25 Floppy-Drives, 3.5 Floppy-Drives if you were rich
640x480 16-colors/256-colors-interlaced (16K colors if you were rich)

Oh, that was next-gen too...

Going to spare you the details of these systems...
Amiga (Top of the line media-computer. 16 sound channels. 32K interlaced-colors. Real games)
Commodore Vic-20 (Yummy, audio-tape-drives for data and cartridges!)
IBM-86/186 (With separate math co-processors)
Atari (Yes they made computers too)

I know what you are talking about Smiley
I have WORKING S3 Trio Smiley  (year 1996)
Cheesy

Nice isn't ? Smiley maybe someone want to buy it for mining Tongue

I heard hashrate 9999+

Ultima III, IV and V

+1 - now known as World of Warcraft...

Out of those I only played Ultima VIII, but I don't see the relation between those games and WoW... other than both being RPGs.

Well me too Smiley Ultima as well was much better than WoW.


Kind regards.   BTC

That was a game!



Is here someone who do not know what is it? Smiley


It looks like DOS version of 1 Guy 1 Cup

Prince of Persia. Never got copy of that game until in late 2007 grabbed a scene release.

Uhh Smiley Playing Prince of persia in 2007 might be harmful Smiley hehe but this game is amazing and I love a way how they did animations Smiley
Very pro as for a oldie.
