One of my friends had that computer (we played Keystone Kapers and Pac-Man on it). It had an "advanced child-proof design featuring pressure-sensitive, wipe-clean keyboard," which didn't really matter to me at the time (I was 10 years old in 1982), but as I learned how to type a few years later...

'Cigarette smoking has fallen sharply among 18- to 24-year-olds. In fact, the percentage of smokers in that age group dropped by nearly a third over the past decade, CDC data show, the sharpest decline of any group. But that striking change might be attributable, at least in part, to the...

I always buy two internal DVD burners whenever I purchase a computer, primarily because I like to burn MP3 discs for my car, but also because I have many games on CD-ROM and DVD-ROM that are either not yet available from the digital distribution services (Steam, GOG, Origin, etc.) or the games...

I am a bit alarmed at how much my nostalgic recollection of playing old DOS/IBM/AMIGA games is much greater than my ability to enjoy those old games now. I still love older music and movies, but it seems that I've grown spoiled on more modern game engines and elements like mini-maps with guided...

The original Syndicate (1993) sure is a storage hog!

I like imitating their foreign accents while on the phone with them. Indian/Pakistani tech support scammers (who claim to be named Bob, Jack, and even Elvis) love nothing more than to hear the American infidels they're trying to scam emulate their funny sounding accents.

Or, better yet, Myst, because everybody played Myst with a joystick.

SWAT 1, 2, and 4 on GOG have all been configured to run on Windows 10. At the moment SWAT 3 hasn't.
