I remember when my 486sx50 was top of the line…but my 4 MB of RAM still couldn’t handle Sam and Max hit the road without an extremely stripped down DOS boot disc
I bought one of those when I was in the US Navy in the 80s – had to pay extra for the 5” floppy drive. Cost and arm and a leg, but it worked great for me.
Eventually sold it off to build a 386 machine, because this wouldn’t play wing commander.
sheesh legendary gaming setup
16 colors and a 3.5 inch floppy? Hey mr millionaire I had 4 color cga on a 5.25 floppy on an 8088 with a turbo button
You probably even had a multi speaker sound card instead of just a system bell too. Rub it in
Love me some sierra online games!

How much ram that bad boy have?
*Ultima VII* is waiting for you.
I dont think my 286 was ever that clean… even new!
I love the games of the past, many I remember much better than the novelties of 2023
286 is what I learn on back in the day. I’d love to see Captain Comic make a comeback.
Ever play the King’s Quest series? It was fantastic
Did you enable ray tracing and dlss?
heyoo, OS/2! Is that a zip drive as well? Wow the nostalgia!
That’s one clean keyboard.
So what are you using for a hard drive in that? Like are you still using the original equipment, or a modernized adapter, or compact flash?
i did not know that the VGA version of Monkey Island can run on a 286.
what’s the CPU Speed and RAM?
OHHH MY GOD!…. I can feel my brain flashing back to the good times I had playing this game! Thank you for your picture
For a beige box, those PS/2s were built like tanks. The Model 50 was my dream setup for a long time.
Gotta say, I do like that power switch. Nice, clear on/off. Don’t need to hold that down for 5 seconds….

Games always drive my upgrades to my gaming rig.
Don’t forget to press the turbo button!
