Remember Windows 95

[2eyez]

My first computer back in 96. I had a Compaq Presario. I didn't know anything about computers. The 1st pc game I bought was Mega Man X. I still have it too.

Yeah, Windows 95 was the shiz back then. Buggy and prone to crashing more often than necessary, but still a great leap from Windows 3.11.

I still have a 31 disk floppy version of Win95b and a CD version. I installed the floppy version on a 386 laptop several months ago, for friends who were going on a trip so their kids would be entertained.

I remember running SNEeSe DOS on it, and the thing ran pretty damn good too!

[Mooney]

I remember running Windows 95 on my family's Acer... playing games like Jazz Jackrabbit, Commander Keen, Epic Pinball, Rattler Race, and Hover... good times... too bad the Acer's hard drive died

All I remember from Windows 95 era is alot of RA95 and Ultima Online.

[L.S.D]

I remember playing FIFA on it. The first one after FIFA International Soccer. I still remember it has the Malaysian League in it! We start a betting game in the university using the computer to play the results out

Let's see... Windows 95. The best thing I remember from the operating system was staring at the loading screen for 5 minutes everyday. Oh, the good old days!

Loading screen for 5 minutes? Your computer sucks

It was a 486 DX2. That's about 50mhz ... I don't remember the amount of ram. I couldn't even run Duke Nukem 3D on it, but I could run Doom I and Doom II without a hitch.

I thought 486 was already pretty good. i do run DukeNukem without a hitch. I also able to run most Lucasarts games too. Ah, those good ol' days.

holy crap! I remember my father's computer was an Acer with similar games! Hey, did your PC come with that Are You Afraid of the Dark adventure game? What about Tyrian? mmm, Tyrian...

Yes, windows 95 seemed pretty good back then.

 

I started with a 300mhz pc, upgraded to 333mhz then 500mhz.

 

I had 80 gigs of hard drive space on it, and it ran all my dos-type games pretty well. Such as Doom 1 and 2, Duke Nukem 3d, and a lot of those spins-offs of Wolfenstein-3d. MAME was ok but neogeo games only ran at 20fps and some 3d games at about 1 fps.

 

This computer was the first one I had a CD burner on, with Roxio 5. What a revolution that was to a music collector as myself!

 

I liked the compatibility with dos games, and it booted up and shut down in seconds. Unlike todays super-dooper pc which can take a while.

 

It was useless with USB though, I just couldn't get that to work.

 

Overall though, I think Windows 98SE was far superior.

[Agozer]

I'd probably be using my old computer quite a bit even today if it the DirectX support on that computer wouldn't be so abysmal.

You sure you have 80GB? or is it 80MB?
