Windows 95

[teraside]

Do you remember Windows 95 and how you had to battle with fixing IRQ Resources and settings to get the simplest devices working? No plug and play.

How you had to use ScanDisk to fix file system errors and pray it worked?

This was also the first MS OS to come out for the masses and allowed me at the age of 11 years old to work on our home PC?

Fun times indeed

I remember coding in Assembly language , playing with registers on win 95.

I remember running the demo for Windows 95, it was basically a slideshow that ran fullscreen on Windows 3.x (you could click the Start Menu!). It looked so cool at the time.

Decent yes , but too old for me to remember which games were proper (except for the Adventure games, kings quest etc.)

I remember having a Win95 box with a RIVA TNT Graphics card, which I put onto Win98 and played Tomb Raider, Unreal Tournament and Quake That's flippen ages ago.

Oh My Gosh. Classic Nolstalgia Thread!

Haha the funniest thing was "Please wait while your computer shuts down"... then wait for a minute or two... and the "Its now safe to turn off your computer", then you reach for the power button. #Classic

I used to play Doom95 and Duke Nukem and thought they were beyond amazing...!

I miss the old names: like Network Neighbourhood, and My briefcase (Though i remember not knowing what to use it for).

I remember trying to record my songs on Windows Recorder using one of those long computer mics. I had horrible headphones with pads that scratch your ears.

Unreal1 was my personal favorite all time FPS.
