Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, floppy disks and dreaming of one day getting a huge 17" CRT monitor on a Pentium, that was my early teenage years.


I had a 17" CRT monitor on a 286, with a Trident 8900 SVGA card driving it. Hard to credit in these days, where even using a non SSD equipped computer is painful, I used to happily wait several seconds for Program Manager to repaint itself.


The Dig was one of my favorites. Conceived by Spielberg with a script by Orson Scott Card of all people.


I've got the CD-ROM version of that kicking around somewhere. I'm surprised they haven't made a movie of it or all the other old LucasArts properties.

If they can make a movie about The Magic 8-Ball...


It was really good but I think it came out at a time where people were moving away from the genre. I don't remember it getting the attention it deserved.


I built a retro system a few years ago for old games. It's more for late 90s/2000 (Windows 98) era games, but it can do DOS, too.


Full Throttle!!
