    both! I always got confused what car I was driving LOL

    Montezumas' revenge was cool too. So was the original prince of persia. Bard's tale was awesome, for its time.

    never had POP or BT...I was missing out it seems!

    Pitstop 2 was a hoot...except whenever I raced one of my friends it always ended up being to see who could pop who's tires first!

    I actually do buy old Pentiums computers I usually install linux on them. It's a great way to run file, print, database, and web servers.

    My first computer was rather a very good one since am young enough na;)

    it was a Intel Celeron 1.13 Ghz , 128 MB of RAM on a Intel D815EGEW Motherboard. It was awesome though i had to replace it with a Spider's Recommended Budget PC after 2 years of use:!

    that was the little flat button keyboard thingy wasn't it?

    Kind of like a calculator on caffeine (I was going to say steroids, except that would be pushing it.)

    that computer is older than many of the posters here.

    That is keyboard I was thinking about earlier - flat and hard to use.
    That one in the picture looks like it was near a fire, did you overheat it trying to run a program?
