Robert Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 I had a 40gb drive split between a 8gig partitiion and a 32gig partitions.And, for a while I had another 40gig drive. The computer blew up not long afterward though. I had the latest service pack because the original windows 95 couldn't handle more than 4gigs.
Shibathedog Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 the first computer i ever owned was a Dell, i think a Dimension (and was even called the XPS if i remember right! I think it was something like Dimension XPS166S) 166MHz Pentium32MB RAM33.6k Modem5GB HDD (I think, Dell did some weird partitioning thing with the hard drive where one was around 3GB and one was around 2GB but both of them came empty minus windows)Matrox something video card We kept that computer for an insanely long time, it was rediculous how outdated it became and we still had it, probably close to 10 years before upgrading to a Gateway 2.2GHz Celeron, crap built in video card and 256MB of RAM with a 40GB HDD but the computer im using now is awesome (I finally grew an e-male organ): Core 2 Duo e6850 3.0GHz @ 3.6GHz2GB PC2-8500 Crucial Ballistix Tracer @ 1244MHz 5-5-5-15ATi Radeon X1950PRO 512MBASUS P5N32-E SLI Mobo Probably the only "real" computer ive ever owned minus the dell back in its day, when we upgraded to 56K and played Mechwarrior 2 on it everyone on the block was like ZOMG!!!
GodPigeon Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 I remember i had Win95 as my first computer as well. All i did was play all those games Mooney Mentioned and Doom. Those were the only kind of games my computer could support. But it was hella fast. I flocked it up tho =\So we upgraded to Win98. Now my computer was hella slow. I used to just download Music and use Paint all the time. So i dont really miss my Win95/98.
JKKDARK Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 I remember the Windows 95 intro when I was a kid, it was so hard for me ^^
Mooney Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 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 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...ohmygawd YES! How could I forget about Tyrian! And Are You Afraid of the Dark gave me nightmares!
L.S.D Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Afraid of the Dark?? Is it the same game as Alone in the Dark?

How could I forget about Tyrian! And Are You Afraid of the Dark gave me nightmares! hahaha that's fucking awesome! Are You Afraid of the Dark.... yeah that game was some scary, creepy shit in it, but it was still a fun game none the less, and the game making your heart race to try an figure out how to kill the "bosses" was an absolute rush. and who can fucking forget tyrian!? It was by far, hands down one of the best PC sh'mups ever. Anyone who disagrees with me can die slowly in a fire
Reaper man Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) Afraid of the Dark?? Is it the same game as Alone in the Dark? no, not at all... it's a game that's based off the Nickelodeon horror series of the same name. The game play was that of a first person point and click adventure, similar to Myst. Edited September 11, 2007 by Reaper man

I never tried coop mode to be honest... maybe I should sometime as for Are you Afraid of the Dark, I actually have the ISO, but I couldn't get it to run correctly in DOSBox for the life of me :<
Chaotica Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 My first IBM PC came about 10 years ago, after my Amiga monitor blew up. The PC came with Windows 95. And I was really rapt because I was the only one amongst my peers that had Microsoft Plus, which added cool and funky themes! I was the envy of all my friends with that. The rig was: Cyrix x686 200mhz - which was ultra fast back then32 meg RAM4.3 gig hard drive - which was massive!16 speed CD ROM2 meg S3 trio video card Oh, the days! I was so excited with my new PC - it was like a new world opening! I spent hours playing Doom, Quake, Interstate 76, Need for Speed II (which I thought had awesome graphics and music!!!), Tyrian (which was an amazing shooter, I concur), Raptor, Diablo, Starcraft, Crusader: No Regret (BLOW UP STUFF! BLOW UP EVERYTHING!), Road Rash and more. And Windows 95 was great. I admit that I love bagging Microsoft, but I found it to be a solid and reliable product.
BlackKnight Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 Internet for the first time. Good times. Doom, Doom 2, Duke... Monster Truck Madness!!!!! Are you ready for Microsoft's Monster Truck Madness?? Great times.
