I wondered if the Turbo button on the computer really did anything.
Yes, it slowed down the processor frequency for games that would otherwise run too fast.
Sometimes. It was also frequently not connected to anything.
Bless Turbo Button-kun for making Gabriel Knight playable
I’m almost a full year older than the NES, but almost a year younger than the Famicom.
I used to get AOL demo CDs in the mail.
I grew up with an Amiga.
I had a gateway PC with the cow print box.
I’m old enough to have accidentally beaten the original Final Fantasy in hard mode.
Old enough to turn to Channel 3 before blowing on the cartridge.
The first news broadcast I can remember the subject of is Tom Brokaw talking about a bombing in Bosnia… because I liked the alliteration.
I still call them Opel Fruits
I had “The Box” which gave us cable TV channels we weren’t supposed to have.
My first memory of TV was Gorbachev talking to Thatcher.
I got an NES, because I thought the robot was cool.
All the neighborhood kids came to play Pong at my house
I have the touch. I have the power.
My first 7" single was Slade-Far far away
I remember exactly where I was & what I was doing when 9/11 happened. I was in middle school, science class, it promptly ended & we watched the live footage play on a CRT TV.
