Interesting Alienware Nostalgia Ad

Includes modern comparison.

 

Hehe, good old days.

 

Do remember to take inflation into account with the prices and the change in the dollar ound ratio.

 

Haha this is amazing, i remember these days.

 

Good one, I remember back then I had to beg my parents for a year and a half to get a new computer and even then we could only afford a Pentium 2 with a ATi Rage Pro. Damn that Rage Pro had the buggiest drivers ever, I probably spent as much time fighting with the drivers as I did playing 3D games.

I think I have that ad in an old issue of PC Gamer ($ prices of course). Do they even publish that anymore? I'm guessing no.

P.S. I don't think it took "exclusive technology" to put a Voodoo 2 and TNT2 in one system, just no one else would waste that kind of money.

 

Haha oh the nostalgia, I had totally forgot 3Dfx, but I do remember the Voodoo and Win OS '98 clearly.. The ulterior design clearly changed drastically just a few years after..

 

Can still remember my AMD k3 it was i geuss, @ 500mhz with a TNT2 card .

 

Man, I saw the price on the GREY and thought. OMG should've did that at first till I realized it was a Voodoo3 and like 2 years later then a desktop build I did as a kid. Man, P Pro 200Mhz + Voodoo 2 oh yeah! I should mention it was a Phoenix computer I upgraded to a Voodoo 2 and faster CD-ROM (lol games running off CD!)

 

My first propper 3d card was the voodoo3 AGP in my old 440BX motherboard from gigabyte

 

My first proper videocard wat a Voodoo Banshee in a 350mhz AMD k3 or something.

I even had a 166mhz Pentium 1 without a videocard and before that a 386 lol

 

I remember trying to run Duke 3d on a 486 DX2 and just dying and soon as you spawned, had to wait on the parents getting a 166mhz Pentium 1 MMX

 

duke nukes 3d, that where some times.
Remember alot older games, dont know what ones but first generation shooters, can remember some like a game with a robot that could transform into a airplane amd more 2d games, have like 4 colors on that 386 haha.

 

My brother and I got a Cyrix system to share and we hooked it up to the parents computer through the com ports and played plenty of duke3d and red alert

 

I remember that time - we were in high school, everyone was rocking K6-2's and Pentium II's, then my best friend took out a bank loan of more than $5,000 to pay for his fully-loaded Area 51. That thing was an awesome waste of money!

 

I like this all
Brings back so many memory's!!!

 

I can still remember how amazed I was at Descent on the Voodoo 2 card. We have come so far since the days of my Atari 800 Business Machine with 4 16K memory cards and a cassette tape drive to load your modem program with.

 

I feel the need to stay responding here lol
Descent kicked ! was first of my real impressive 3d games! amazing graphics that time

Hell Yeah!

This was in my early era.

 

You guys make me feel young. I was like 8 When we got our first 133Mhz cpu. I didn't get my own pc until it was a 1.7Ghz celeron.

 

Noob

But seriously I think I still like my current computer a lot better than my first which was COATED in hot glue inside to keep everything in place which meant an upgrade involved a new computer basically :/
