Youngster!
300 baud, 120 meg HD's were locked in safes when not in use as well. 386s were still expensive to the point of crazy, and about 2 people withing 10 miles could help with a question IF you lived in large cities. :D
I started back on the 8086's hooked up to mainframe in the cold room. Had 640k mem, NO Ram chips, maybe 3 megs of a HD if you were lucky.
The old man played the Legend of the Red Dragon on a BBS in the early 90's. Played until he won like 6 times going up the chain of whatever the things were called and quit.
Last I saw him touch was Wolfenstein... 8 yrs ago or so? . I just do the card games. No interest in them.
He still plays with 2-3 and 4-586s for fun. Just tinkers with old programs like that ripdraw. First pic I ever saw on a BBS was one he sent me in email. The board wouldn't support any other graphics.
