edit: actually, i think it's pretty clearly less than a smart phone. Is there anything today that would be equivalent? | ||

Perhaps an old school Razr phone with web browsing? | ||

Is there anything today that would be equivalent? This is the best possible PC graphics from that time: This runs in 320x200 resolution completely on the CPU without any help from the graphics card. It is perhaps comparable to a Nintendo DS? But I think the Nintendo DS processor gets help from a graphics chip for 3D stuff. | ||

My father bought in 94 the very best thing available, because he wanted something that would last (how wrong he was!) If I remember, it was a Pentium 90 and a, wait for it, 15 inch screen! For the modest sum of 4000$ (I cant believe someone could put that much money in a PC...) And yeah, Quake was THE hype game at that time =) | ||

My dad didn't let me mess with our Packard Bell too much since he was afraid of crashes so much. However, he did install a bunch of games from a bunch of demo CDs as well as some educational games. Freddi Fish. 3D Dinosaur Adventure. Louis the Lion. Ah, the memories. Oh, and I also played my first RTS on my old Packard Bell in the form of the Age of Empires: Rise of Rome demo from one of my dad's demo CDs. I still remember how I thought the game was "Age of Vampires" instead of "Age of Empires," and I was thoroughly confused when I couldn't find any vampires in the game. Fun demo, though I struggled to play it as a 5-year-old. | ||

Then again, it was enough to play brood war ![]() These days I've been shopping around for a 120GB solid state drive. It's amazing how fast technology advances. | ||

I makes me wonder though, soon how long will it take to make something that can push technology? I think the characters in the FF movie hand like 10,000 pores or individual strands of hair or something like that, and were considering them as "digital actors" as I imagine the amount of time it takes to create these types of models is insane. | ||
