      I was an expert at that. My friends would all offer me things in exchange for getting their games or programs to run. Then a few years later I got into programming & became a game programmer, which I did for 21 years before getting out of it. I _still_ know how to program the VGA card in DOS to this day & migrated one of my old games to OpenWatcom & DOS4GW about 6 months ago.

  • @KENBECKERART
    @KENBECKERART ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Totally enjoyed watching this trip back to that era. This thought struck me:
    It’s a bit mind-blowing to see just how many DOS games we got in that era - and realizing how many of these we knew, bought, owned, played, and loved - and realizing that all of this went down in just the 5 year span covered by this video.
    There’s certainly no lack of games and titles now, but back in that practically “stone-age” era where development times were so long and the technology (both to develop and to actually PLAY the games) - really makes me appreciate this era that much more.

    As someone who has been looking for and playing good games from that era that I didn't have access to in the 90's, this video is gold.

    Wow reading these comments is like sharing years of my life with people i never met. I discovered i could load games onto a floppy and the computers in 6th grade would always autoboot anything you put in the floppy drive because they had no hard drives. they booted from the school network using pxe. Probably the only time i was ever super popular at school was when i was carryng around my stack of floppies with games on them you could just pop into any pc at school and play because i wrote the autoexec.bat and config.sys myself.
