I've accidentally managed to find my first electronical comrade which I first met in 1998 - General

I just had an idea: I should try running Jurassic Park: Trespasser on it, just to see how it actually runs on hardware from it's era

That's really fucking cool, dude

how the heck did you get a 4gb hard drive in 1998? i remember upgrading from a 1gb hard drive when trying to install giants: citizen kabuto

I think my grandpa has the first computer I ever had, a Compaq LTE 5280 running Windows 98. I used to listen to WWF theme song midis and staring at Plus theme screensavers. The only games I had for it were edutainment games.

(admittedly, it was very high end for the time, sold for $2800 or something; my dad worked for the company and brought home one of the engineering samples they were going to throw out)

That's pretty rad

And to think I first played the original Half Life only a few weeks ago, I'm so young!

First off, Electronical Comrades sounds like a Devo album. Secondly, we're computer spec twins because my first PC was almost identical to this one. I had a 12mb Voodoo 2 graphics card but apart from that it's just the same.

I myself am born in '98, and it seems weird that 4GB back in the day was way more than enough and that people seemed unable to fill the drive. But these days you can't seem to have enough with 931 GB of space. [T]http://upl.kittehcat.org/2014-08-21_10-17-42.png[/T]

Yeah well I'm getting on your level at a pretty fast rate. I really should clean up my Steam folder, I have 360+ GB of crap installed. Most space is taken up by the audio files of Payday 1 and 2 which I extracted.

Nice! Glad to see you reunited with your long lost computer! My first PC was a Gateway 825GM with Windows XP Media Center Edition and a Pentium 4 with hyper threading. Luckily for me, the system is still in my garage. Also in the garage is another childhood PC of mine in MUCH better shape than the 825GM, a Gateway GT4016. It runs an AMD Athlon 64 (64 bit computers were a very new and revolutionary technology at the time) and runs the same OS as the 825GM (Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005).

Plus I only install a game when I'm going to play it.

Our first computer had windows 3.1. Being 25 shouldn't make me feel so old.
