Post your favorite tech/game/software/whatever from the 90s that gives you nostalgia from such a simpler time.

I'll start with this video. I was into the exact same shit as this guy in the video back then. :lol

Well remembering something isn't always great. I remember connecting to AOL, using the free hours, canceling, rinse and repeat.

Also downloading demos from their download section and using the chats with what most likely were the early form of Internet pedophiles.

Remember shareware? Goodness.

I played this game so much and it's a real bad game. Jammit is the name of the game.

AOL chatrooms were the shizz. When I was 18, my friends and I would go on and torment the pervs. Endless hours of entertainment.

1991 game, Amiga version, rather basic till you get past 5:20, really picks up in higher levels. 120 levels if I remember right:

7SgDS-16UFA

I bought serial # 000173 of the Amiga 4000 for $3,000 in 1992 the first day they were available:

1996 Cybervision 64 3D video card, I have this in my Amiga computer:

DACS Switching Frame, I couldn't find the AT&T DACS III I worked on, but this is similar:

I still have my Sharp Zarus ZR-5800 FX (http://www.mikeysoft.com/all_stuff_good/0118.htm) w/2MB memory, 1995, they were about $700 or $800 back then:

1990, Video Toaster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Toaster), and Lightwave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightwave_3D):

http://www.vipvideo.com/amiga/vt4k03.jpg (http://www.vipvideo.com/a4kcard.html)


LightWave was used to create special effects for the Babylon 5, Star Trek Voyager and seaQuest DSV science fiction television series; the program was also utilized in the production of Titanic as well as the recent Battlestar Galactica TV-series, Sin City, Star Trek, 300 and Star Wars movies. The acclaimed short film, 405 was also produced by two artists from their homes using Lightwave. In the famous Finnish Star Trek parody Star Wreck - In the Pirkinning, most of the visual effects were done in LightWave. In Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, the entire film was made in Lightwave 6 and messiah:Studio.

I remember I was like 9 and searched the word porn and got like a million pop ups when I clicked the link. All the close icons were outside of the screen and I had yet to learn you can drag the blue thing on top and click X. I turned off the PC by holding the power button and ran away.

That one goes back to the 80's, 1988 I think. By 1992 or sooner, V3.0 was available:

A good computer from 1995:

http://www.computermuseum.li/Testpage/Compaq-PC-1995.htm

http://www.computermuseum.li/Testpage/Compaq-PC.gif

The Compaq Presario line was very successful for Compaq. The Presario Model 5528 came with a one-piece integrated monitor and CPU, Intel Pentium processor, 75 MHz, 16 Mb RAM, 34Kb Modem, CD ROM drive, and built in speakers.

Yeah D-Rob was amazing; also the Robinson to Rodman alley-oops, WTF

But for 3 point bombing, there was nothing like playing with Golden State: 4 guys in the starting lineup could shoot from 3: Tim, Spree, Mully and Billy Owens
