I remember seeing Close Combat 1 in stores and not being able to buy it because we had a 486, and it needed a pentium.

My first computer was a 4 mhz 8088, with no HDD, only a SD 360kb 5.25" drive, a 101-key keyboard (VERY recent stuff back then!), Tandy 16 color graphics and 3-channel audio playback. Those were the days...
