Silicon Nostalgia

Remember the glory days of 286-16MHz silicon, evil MS-DOS 5.0 and dealing with config.sys and autoexec.bat in order to get a few more bytes of free RAM, QBasic and Gorilla, Alley Cat (not the Unix command, but the CGA game), enhancing your pogo stick skills in Commander Keen 4, the early Lucas Arts adventures (They taught me not to put an egg into a microwave.), Future Crew's Second Reality, written in 100% pure assembly language Inertia Player, squeezing more and more bytes onto a floppy via overformatting with VGA-Copy and listening endless hours to elysium.mod?

For me this has been around 199prettyearly. And today for some reason I had the idea to convert some of the old MODules into modern MP3 files and to use them as ringtones on my Samsung SGH-D600 cell phone. So I sent them through a MikMod, GoldWave, Lame workflow, et voilà, there they are. They are some of the most famous tracks from around this time and they still make you move!
