Retro Tech Dreams

Remember software UIs before minimalism?

The Panasonic Toughbook CF-41 (1995), sold for $8,700.

@Colonthreee 👀

@RetroTechDreams I worked on the sequel. Too bad it never got released. ;_;

Theme Hospital (1997) went hard.

I want every app to have a UI like Managing Your Money 2 (1996)

NBA Jam (1993)

Google Finance is cool and all, but I'd rather get my stock quotes from the AOL Personal Finance channel

The first ThinkPad (1992), which gave us the TrackPoint

Vortec Space on Windows XP

@PcPhilanthropy One of the best maps, second only to Longest Yard

We traded this for DLSS5…

@Criminalsimpson Congrats!

Today marks 7 years of Criminalsimpsons 🎂

@DcoXBRZ It felt more approachable than Myst and a lot larger. I still need to finish it.

@RetroTechDreams Riven is still one of the best games ever.

Myst island

@hydexseven 💯

@RetroTechDreams Is that a pizza planet?

@ValagostX Woah did they even have walkthroughs posted that early? That was the only way I could beat Myst in the 90s.

@RetroTechDreams Back in '93, I bought this game the day it came out Friday after work. With a large Pizza, 2-liter of Coke & 6-Pack of beer I stayed up for 24-hours and beat the game.
