I remember when a friend of mine got SC for his birthday. We were like 14 or 15. It sucked because his computer was too slow to run it well.

That reminds me, my N64 is sitting in a box about ten feet away from me. I need to hook it up and relive my childhood (which I do every 2-3 years). Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Mario Kart, Banjo Kazooie... brb nostalgia

EDIT: One final note. Those N64s are RUGGED. I mean, jeez. It's been moved cross-country about six times, stored in boxes, dropped down stairs... It's thirteen years old now, and it still worked the last time I hooked it up (about two years ago?). My Xbox 360 lasted eighteen months before it got a RROD, then the replacement lasted two years before it died of what I'm guessing was severe motherboard-******-up-itis. They don't make 'em like they used to!

, I DO have a Genesis but I didn't play it as much.
All my consoles except my Gamecube and my PSOne are broken, decades of being played hard, I suppose.

I remember when SC came out, my brother would come over and I'd play it. It ran fine on my Pentium 2, so I enjoyed it a lot. I still have the original cheat code sheet my brother wrote for it for me.

Tanj, what did he have, a 486?

ebackhus · 10-24-2009, 06:37 PM

486 DX2 66Mhz.

You lads are sure doing a good job of making those of us born in the 50's, or earlier, feel a tad aged.

My mom was born in the mid 50's and likes to tell me how her college had an ENIAC and it was so big that it took up an entire floor. What's worse is that my wrist watch has more processing power.

You would have enjoyed punch cards though. Now there was an input method.

Until you dropped 'em, then it became a language lesson

There's only one way to settle this:

YouTube - The Great Office War

My friend is the leader of the sales team. He's an awesome guy.

OH. EM. GEE.

That video was AWESOME. I would give almost anything to work in a place that cool! They disallowed Nerf wars at my office so now we just throw rubber balls at each other and wrap cubicles in tin foil.
