    Nostalgia! Riding my bike to a store so I can spend 5 bucks on a PC gamer magazine just for the demo disk. Because downloading a demo was just an obscene proposition with 14.4k dial up modem.

      Oh yeah, the good old days, stacks of demo discs, I remember upgrading my 14.4 to a 28.8 and it was glorious!

        I remember being so excited going from 14.4 to 33.6! Don’t even get me started on CD-ROM speeds!
