Sep 7, 2010 · I got my first PC in '93, which was an Intel 486/SX25 with a 512k Trident Graphics card, 4MB Ram, and an Adlib sound card. It had a massive 120MB HDD (Which was an absolute beast, most people I knew back then had 40MB drives).

Still a major example of how 8-bit developers really tried to push the boundaries of computer entertainment very early on, and on massively under-powered hardware.
