286 Flashbacks

I was, for some strange reason, remembering the first computer I ever used today, an old 286 with a megabyte of ram, 40 mb of hard drive, a 5.25" floppy and a 10 in monitor. I used to play a handful of games on it, such as Castle Adventure and Sleuth. Whatever happened to those games? Someone archived them.

Share and enjoy your own flashbacks.

I remember Castle Adventure. I used to have it too. First computer I ever used was a 286 with 2MB ram, a 5.25 in floppy, and a 40 MB HD. I never heard of sleuth but the game I remember the best is Donald Duck's Playground. Don't ask.

Then there were other games, like Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy... oh, do you remember Paratrooper?

Actually, strictly speaking, I suppose the FIRST was actually an Atari 800. I loved that thing to death. Remember Star Raiders? or Space Invaders? I think I used to have Pac-Man, or at least something like it on floppy for that system.
