The question is, do you still have the sw game? Could you tell us more about it?

Yeah I remember that to. I'd like to really go back to that point in time. However I don't have an external synth. At any rate, I would really like a 386 with 100mb hdd maybe 250, a floppy drive or cd drive and a synth again. Sadly though I could play stuff like eamon even with vertual it can't emulate the entire dos spirit. You for example didn't have to review the screen hardly. Now I am always reminded about how vertual I am. nvda is ok for most things but if I have to switch another program or use a review curser it detracts from the experience.
