GraveDigger Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 i actually used 5 1/4 floppys before those and if you want to go really old skool i remember having cassett tapes with games on them. it would take 30-45 minutes to load a game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostaja Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I used to play civilization 1 on my 386 a LOT. It had 1MB ram, 20mhz processor, 40M harddrive and something I could not believe was true - a modem! I think it was a 2400 baud modem and could download 1M/h. I used it to play ZombieMUD Any bigger games took several disks and when one disk is 1.44M I had to be carefull what to install and when. I would immediately run out of space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masa_1964 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Oh yeah... remember when loading ms dos from 2 floppy IBM to load someting else and juggling dos floppy when needed some dos thing to 128/256kb memory And struggling with 1mb memory barrier with allkind memory extension progs . And testing poor windows 1.2 from one 720kb diskette Grappy "windows" with some "features with using mouse. some where -91 or -92. Running BBS and connecting other BBS with modem in that time Masa_1964 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolf Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 How about ... 10 printscreen "Joe is a noob!" 20 goto 10 Basic programming for you younger ones. http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/ewd02xx/EWD215.PDF Anyway, even today those 3.5" disks are large enough. Most classic games, W3D, Doom, TTDX, fitted on a few disks. Good old times indeed. And even today all my results of my graduation project still fitted on a single 1.44MB disk.
