I remember those old school copy protection measures. Spinning wheels or find a certain word in the manual etc.

 

Commandos was a fun game. Another game I played a lot was Syndicate by Bullfrog, that was an amazing game.

 

I played Test Drive 1/2/3/4 but 5 onwards didn't look so good for me. I picked up a few of the later versions (Porsche Unlimited was great).

 

Alley Cat and Karateka were some of the first few games I played. Defender of the Crown was my first strategy/war game. Double Dragon was hella fun playing co-op mode with a friend and sharing the same keyboard. My first awesome RPG experience was Battletech: Crescent Hawks' Inception. I also spent a lot of time playing that old Terminator game for PC. Then came Jagged Alliance which was brilliant.

 

Ah so many memories...

When I was in the navy, we build a project for a AT computer.

It cost $20k at that time.

The flavour of the day at that time was a XT.

Nowadays you ask the younger folk what is XT or AT they give you a blur look.

 

But back then tech move at a slower pace. Your computer knowledge can be valid for 6 or 7 years. But now, what tech you know in Jan would be obsolete by now.

 

From ISA to VL Bus to PCI, to AGP...etc

Now use what liao?

 

From 86 to 88, then 286, 386, 486, Pentium, pentium 2, Pentium pro, Celeron, Pentium 3, Pentium 4, core, core 2, core 2 duo, core 2 quad core, i3, i5, i7...did I miss any?

I find technology moving slower actually compared to the 80s and 90s.

Look at us now. everyone is just consuming technology, how many people in the world are actually creating new programmes, new things?

Wow the WinAmp!

I was busily downloading MP3s from Napster from my first Highspeed ADSL Magix and playing them on WinAmp

 

Hahaha when napster was around i was still on 56.6k.

 

Only got ADSL around 2001-2002 [:(]

 

Winamp and Media player have those visualisers. Nowadays don't think anyone looks at all these ...
