    I never completed Prince of Persia. I finished all three Dark Souls games but P of P is on another level. Games were hard back then. 😢 Great video and great memories. Thanks for that.

    I still use several of my dos machines. At the moment I change between my 286 and pentium-II. Those CF2IDE converters are a real pc saver since most of the original drives gave up when years passed by.

    I love it when I start a retro gaming video and it's someone European talking about gaming on MS DOS and home computers rather than an American talking about Nintendo and Mario, seems like such a contrast in the lived experiences. I'm Australian and my childhood was all MS DOS, though commodore 64s and amigas were popular among my friends too.

    Didn´t you play cyberia? It came in 1994 and it was a masterpiece. It was a nice cyberpunk adventure with lots of puzzles and some well made rain shooter sequences. A great game.

    Good old times of minerva. I remember keepings schools computers up and running, playing lotus, stunts and being the first to install Win95 using floppies. And deleting that bloody elifoot 10s of times from library pc. And later on, mIRC. Before I even had a pc at home.
    Fun fact, i taught my TI teacher in windows stuff, as he was only trained in electromechanics.

    Quick note! 11:11 - naginata is pronounced "naguinata". In Hepburn, the "g" is always a hard "g". For the "j" sound, it's a j. You pronounced it as if it was "najinata".
    That's a veeery common mistake when Portuguese people read Japanese via Hepburn romanisation haha.
