Had an 80286 with an EGA screen and 20mb HDD

At first we just had space invaders




My dad was working for an American company at the time. One of his coworkers brought a floppy with a few games on it:

Prince of Persia




I learned English at 12 years old by playing Larry in the land of the lounge lizards




I was very thankful of the strip poker game on the disk :captainpop:



A bit later I grabbed a game called "Legend" from Mindscape in a local store

Hey you guys ever hear of a super rare game called kill switch? My friend at school has a copy but he won't lend it to me because apparently it deletes itself after you play it. He's such a liar, i know he just doesn't want to lend it because he's afraid I'll be better at it than him so he has to make up some lovely excuse why he can't just lend it

what a gay lord, ill be getting it for my birthday anyway so jokes on him lol

I remember heading down to my local Electronics Boutique during the '99 holiday season to grab myself a Quake 3 and the guys who worked there absolutely fuckin dunked on me and called me a smallbrained baby idiot for wanting Q3 and not Unreal Tournament instead to the point where they convinced me to buy both

They were correct

partying is all well and good, amigo, but every track by the Vengaboys sounds like someone farting into a public address system while a toddler repeatedly slams a bicycle pump in the door

The Vengaboys were Rotterdam's reaction to late 80s Dutch hardcore and they are both good but in terms of dance music they are basically polar opposites

Vengaboys ended up making a lot more money

edit: the comparison is basically heavy metal fyad versus beach party byob, except in this case byob was the successful one
