Member when you edited your ~~himem.sys~~ config.sys and autoexec.bat to play your game?
Remember when you had to navigate through DOS to start your game?
Remember when you had to make boot disks for games?
Remember when you needed a cassette tape for games?
Remember when you had to find a stick for stick and hoop?
Ug ug ooga ooga? Ug ug!
Remember when you had a quickload cartridge in the expansion slot but not every game would be able to use it? And when you blew the video card pulling the keyboard too hard since they were all hot connections? I still haven't fixed that.
Ahh the good old days when you had to flip dip switches on expansion cards to avoid IRQ and address conflicts.
Freaking sound cards sucked back then.
Config.sys actually. Himem was a line in the config.sys file.
Oh, fuck. Right. config.sys! I'll return my old fart medal right away, sir.
