Some of us are old enough to remember when there WAS no Windows, only DOS. My son grew up playing text RPG's

Dos ruled. I hated editing config.sys and autoexec.bat to free enough memory to run dune2 and some other games WITH mouse supportOriginally posted by Peaches

It took me years to redo my learning on all the commands in DOS. For a LONG time whenever I zipped files, I went to the dos prompt instead of using WinZipOriginally posted by TeenGodFather

My very first computer was a PC Jr. but the first one I used for more than word processing was an 8088 with a dual floppy. I think it had 64K ram I went to a 486 after that and thought I had hit the lottery

Shit man I remember the old Black screen s with the green text. You know the old ass computers the schools had back then and the screen were burnt in to hell and back

I thought it was 64k ram, but I could be VERY wrong - it was a long time ago and you know how us old folks have memory problemsOriginally posted by baddog

Yes, it DID have a hard drive, albeit a very small one. I remember using a friend's computer that just had the floppies to work off. I can't remember what the PC Jr. had. My Dad got it for free when he was with IBM before it was released to the general public. I just thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread because I could write letters w/o a correction ribbon or white out

shit I played Oregon Trail everyday on a MAC in high school library, game still ownsComment

Yes you could get 64k of ram on an 8088 or 8086. Or on the NEC v-20 and v-30 upgrade chips (which were a teensy faster).
One of my old PC's had DOS in ROM also, which freed up a little bit and made it boot very fast.
Back then when you programmed you had to be efficient.

I know it! There is a "classic" version for sale on the internet somewhere that I found, but I seriously doubt it would be similar enough to the original. Our library had an Apple IIe.Originally posted by cosis

Have you guys played the newer version of the Oregon Trail? It's actually pretty cool. But yeh I remember the old school version plenty well. Everyone fought over who got to play it at recess.
The Yukon Trail is pretty fun, too. Never got into the Amazon Trail though.PHAT SERVERS - Quality dedicated hosting at a quality price!
