I
had stored some softwares from a past PC era that I've bought at the
time, and have decided to display them here, more as a souvenir then
considering them collectibles. Some games as old as 1987, running in
DOS mode only. I'm not even sure Microsoft had windows at that time! I
remember a software called
GEM (found infos on wikipedia) having windows like
the Microsoft well known OS but I don't think I have that software
anymore anywhere.
I've bought my first PC, around 1989. A Tandy 1000 TX with a 286
processor with co-processor. I've then acquired all eras of
processors over time. My oldest computer I still have in hand is the
486 DX4 -100mhz. Still powering up but HD (a MFM which is pre-IDE)
doesn't run anymore.
Most games displayed here have been bought originally at there release
time. I've always been a good gamer. Then, when kids arrived, game
softwares bought since at least 12 years have been for most, console
games, which some are (or will be) displayed in the console games
section. PS1, PS2, then Wii and now Wii U. I got Nintendo NES and Super
nintendo since quite a long time too, possibly before the PS1 but were
bought used.
I will display PC games until about year 2000 maximum. As I have
them stored here and there, they will be display per batch, as soon as
I'll get my hand on them. Enjoy the visit and hope they bring good
souvenirs!
