Misled Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 Commodore 64 with the lightning fast C2N cassette unit. Games took a good 20-30 minutes to load. First modem for it was 300 baud. You could actually watch the text roll across the screen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

william488 Posted July 23, 2003 Posted July 23, 2003 I can't remember quite what it was, so I'll give it a shot... 8086 PC 1 mb of RAM 30 Mb Hard drive These may even be high specs that I am getting them confused with another system. ya you prob getting them confused with another system they did not have 30 mb hd with the 8086's. my first computer i owned was a tandy 1000tx, (286) with a big floppy and small floppy, rgb monitor 80 dot pitch with no hard drive, oh, 640k mem. My Ex-Wife's parrents gave me even an older system years latter, it had two-- single sided 5 1/4 floppies, with 64k mem and took AOK DOS, (which i still have). and a green monitor. at the fastest an 8086, but i think it was even older. my next computer was a 386sx 16 with 4 mb ram, 105 mb hd and i upgraded and bought the Massive 1 mb video card, man were all my friends jealous of me! I still have all my games for that system( now converted to cd format, I have about 200-300 games on cd) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
