Diablo II "Obsolete"

Goodness help me, I still have the following:

Red Baron
Age of Rifles
Dark Forces

Of course my first PC was:

486DX-2 66mhz
8MB RAM
520MB Hard Drive
2x CD
3.5mm AND a 5.25in Floppies!

My first PC was:
286 16mhz
1 meg ram
OAK VGA with 256k
40 meg hard drive

This was like in 1991, so no cd rom :)
Oh, no sound card either, I stripped a wire off the Y cable and wrapper it around a PC Speaker jumper. Plugged it into my boom box, so I could hear .mod, mtm, etc., loud and clear (sorta clear).

Red Baron was considered a mighty fine flight sim in it's day. I had Aces of the Pacific and Aces Over Europe from the same company (Sierra) and they were excellent games.

Of course, the machine I played them on was:

386sx 20 mghz
2 mgs of RAM (that's right, 2)
40 mg HD
no CD
I'm not sure about the video card, but I remember I had to buy a new one to upgrade to 1 mg so I could play a game that required SVGA.

I wonder how I can justify a motherboard/RAM/CPU upgrade to my wife. I can't tell her I have to upgrade so I can play a game, for cryin' out loud.

HA! Mine had a hand crank for power.

386 DX (oh yeah that MATHCO addition was worth it)
5 megs RAM (I upgraded from 4)
100 Meg HD (Would I EVER use that much space?)
512k Video Card
No Sound Card (Why would I need to hear it?)
1x CD
3.5 and 5.25

And like Bryan Adams guitar, I played it till by fingers bled

Now I'm just finishing college for 3-d Graphics and Animation for Gaming.

The PC game will always come back because of the upgrade ability and the independent nature of the developers. (same reason the US will always be on top when you think about it)

PS most of my classmates are starting to throw off the liberal programming, it's a real wonder to behold AND it's nice to have some company)
