I was thinking the other day about internet usage in the 90s, how it was cheaper at night and on the weekends than during business hours, so at my house we usually had to wait until 9PM to start using the internt on weekdays! Also the way photos used to slowly load from top to bottom, sometimes it would take a minute or two just to get a picture to appear on your screen.....man we used to have some patience
My family did not get a PC until '97. I still remember coming home from best buy with our $2500 computer w/Windows 95......there was a strategy game that came pre-installed where you control a kid through a maze and collect keys to get through to the next level. I cannot remember at all what it was called. Great game though...
Sounds like Chip's Challenge? Some good puzzles and still fun to play.

Yep. That's the one. I bet I haven't played that for 20 years. Good stuff...

The bad ass Mortal Kombat soundtracks that introduced me to the likes of Napalm Death, Fear Factory, and Sevendust.

And Orbital!
I remember that! But didn't fear factory go by Giza or something on that soundtrack? I feel like it was many years later that I realized fear factory was Giza.
Fear Factory has "Zero Signal" on the soundtrack. And then G//Z/R has a song on there as well, which Burton was the vocalist for both bands.
Edit: I guess I'll add G//Z/R was a supergroup made by Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath. I think they only had one album.
And... I'm wrong. They had 3 albums but Burton was on the first which is the only one I've heard.

Man, I really wish these weren't so expensive. I'd love to crack open a few revised starters for the nostalgic feels.
I found this a few days ago and it made me yearn for death
