But a friend made a DAC (digital to analog convertor) for me, that could be connected from the parallel printer port to my dad's stereo installation.
Jammit for windows 7 manual#
The copy protection of several DOS games required you to enter the Xth word on page Y from the manual before you could play most games had a shareware version, meaning the first 25% of the game was legally free to play If I wanted to play Aladdin, I needed to reboot my pc with a special boot disk, because that game required a different memory configuration (ems) When I tried to unzip the game to my hdd at home, disc 27 seemed to be corrupt so we had to start all over again the day after
We spent like 4 hours zipping the game on 28 floppy discs. I once drove 15km with my bike to a friends house when he called me because he had Mortal Kombat 3. This caused several games to run much faster than intended. my x386 pc had a turbo button to double the cpu speed from 20 to 40mhz. Monkey Island and its nonsense antipyracy rulet, Carmen San Diego was my second teacher. Mortal Kombat was another magical moment, those graphics were incredible for the time. I can tell you some WOW moments: Playing Doom with a Sound Blaster 16. I have fond memories of playing graphical adventures (day of the tentacle, indiana jones and the fate of atlantis, Space Quest, Sam and Max, etc). I learned to program basic to have some fun, and right now im a developer, so basically that time shaped my life. I recall I needed to make some magic to play Legend Of Kyrandia (barely fit on that HD, it was like 5 5-1/2 disks), as well as Alone in the dark, which required 386 processor bare minimum, bot got it running on my machine. It was really challenging sometimes to get a game installed in such small space. My first PC -I had a C64 as first computer, with a dataset- was a 80286 with 1mb RAM and 30mb HD. I recall touching the autoexec.bat and config.sys, as well as F5 on boot to freeze as many conventional memory as possible.
