Going through old photos to share with my parents and discovered this classic photo of my first PC in about 1991/1992

It was a 386 33MHz with a Turbo button to downclock the CPU to 15Mhz so games designed for lesser machines didn’t run unplayably fast 😂

Toot

On the other side of the room was this beauty; a PAL SNES connected to a CRT TV over SCART with a JP/US converter riser so it could be played at 60Hz (essential for SF2 and others). Hot shit at the time and grey import carts were eye wateringly expensive, but I was working by this time so that’s where the cash went (and on the PC obvs - Roland sounds cards especially)

Sadly like most people who moved house a lot and didn’t have a lot of money I never kept any of this stuff, it got sold to fund the next thing or simply get it out of the way 🫤
