Now this is really old!

I lived that time.. anybody shares the same experience?


First MS Windows I ever dealt with. It was installed on the first computer my father had when he was a new engineer

A very old version of MS paint.. It was called Paintbrush


One of the earliest 3D games.. Wolf (?)
This game used to freak me out .. when I grew up a little, I could clear it all..the final boss was really something!


Lemmings any body??
I was taught how to run it from the floppy disk by entering commands to DOS.. I remember I was very young at that time.
Kids these days have easy technology!


This game was installed on the school computers when I was in 1st grade!!


The very first version of Prince of Persia.. I loooved this game


Street fighter!!! Ryu was my favorite!


OK! not very old...maybe I was 9, but this is one of my earliest contacts with the Japanese language. I memorized how to write つばさ from this game..of course not knowing how to read it!

Oh~ nice old days!

I used to play that "wolf" game too, but I didn't use Windows 3.1, I started with Windows 95 ^^;

Wow! you brought back the ooold days!!
specially the computer class in school >_>

there were some computers with the 3.1 windows while the "newer" ones had the 95 version
I used to go to the computer lab during the break and play prince, and learned for the first time how to copy using dos commands in my tries to -steal- the game ;D
I dont remember wolf, we had "Doom", "titus the fox" and "pre-historik 2" to replace that
I also had both the Japanese and Arabic versions of captain Majed =p..I used to memorize the order of the words from the arabic one when playing the Japanese

Thank you for bringing back those happy times ^.^

Momiji san
I think in the opposite way..whenever I hear the japanese word "あたり" I remember the game console lol

Biraru san
you skipped a whole generation by starting with 95 ^^

YzN san

I didn't know there was a PC version of penguin adventure.. its my favorite game on MSX and its theme music is the ringtone of my older mobile. Surely there was no emulation at that time :p <3 konami of old.

Anyway, in the beginning we were Amiga guys.. it was much better for games.

The school computers were MSX computers :D
That's the gaming age when "save game" was still not invented in most games XD

Saemon 左衛門 said...

Yeah, when you had to take insane shortcuts to beat the game successfully or when you had to write down 30 word passwords instead of saves.
