PC gaming was hard in the 90s

I wasn't allowed to play videogames Mondays to Thursdays because it was school time. I spent so much time playing games with the sound off, listening for the dreaded footsteps on the stairs that signaled one of my parents coming down.

I take it you play a lot more games now - to make up for all those days you were (dare I say) prohibited from gaming?

Ah I remember the days of installing Prince of Persia on stiffies. And not touching the landline phone when connected.

Shows how old you really are... Remembering sh*t from the early 1900s.

Yup, but it was slightly before my time. Our first modem was 300 baud.

My first modem was a USR 14.4k and was a bitch to deal with. Was so glad when I could upgrade to a 33.6k and eventually a 56k v.92 capable modem

[Dohc-WP]

i only had a 33.6 modem and a 56k one, to stop the modem from making the dailup sound what i did was put a headaphone jack into the port on the modem



my friend couldnt do that cause his modem didnt have the audio out and mic jacks
