All this talk about old computers on other blogs makes me want to take some time to reminisce on some simpler times!
Tell me what kind of computer did you used to develop games on/ work on? Before any upgrades or add ons(you can include that too). -Post the specs including the Brand, OS, Processor, Memory, Graphics, anything noteworthy or mentionable! -What games did you used to play (if any)?I will start IBM Aptiva 2165 Windows 95, Pentium MMX 200 256Kb L2 Cache on mobo, 64MB EDO ram, ATI Rage 1(integrated) 2MB, Not ATX, had a funny PCI/ISA riser board, counted graphics card memory as system memory in the start up check, max memory was 128MB would not accept 64MB EDO chips, had an SD Ram slot (never could find a chip that would work, even a 16MB) I used to play a lot the Jedi Knight / Dark forces series, X Wing never worked, Mario Time machine always played too fast, The Sims 1 and Galactic Battlegrounds(Age of Empires II basically) , Roller Coaster Tycoon, Freddy Fish, Putt Putt Saved the Zoo, etc etc
@F1ak3r: I did get used to briefcases in XP, but they phased it out in favor of the OneDrive (Skydrive) included with windows. This is a good idea, but I wanted a local solution for backing up my files, so I ended up using FreeFileSync which I can schedule to do regular backups of my files at times that I prefer.
Works pretty well for me.
