I got it from my father on a 3.5″ floppy disk when I was 6 or 7. I played it on my father’s workstation (at his job) and also at home on his 486 laptop running Windows 3.1.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The game has pretty cheap graphics. Still it was a lot of fun to play, especially at that age.&lt;/p&gt;</description><media:content xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://aaron.cc/quaak/feature.png"/></item><item><title>Rollin (1995)</title><link>https://aaron.cc/rollin-1995/</link><pubDate>Fri, 17 Mar 2017 19:15:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://aaron.cc/rollin-1995/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;“Rollin” by SAV Creations (published by Ticsoft) was one of the DOS games I played the most as a kid.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I got it from my grandparents, and I played it with my brothers on their old PC, which had also been a gift from them. I think it was a 386. This was around 1996, when I was 9 or 10 years old. It had a Turbo key that switched between 16 MHz and 40 MHz. If I pressed that key while playing, the game became noticeably slower.&lt;/p&gt;</description><media:content xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://aaron.cc/rollin-1995/feature.gif"/></item><item><title>T-Online über DFÜ-Netzwerk</title><link>https://aaron.cc/t-online-%C3%BCber-df%C3%BC-netzwerk/</link><pubDate>Thu, 25 Jul 2002 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://aaron.cc/t-online-%C3%BCber-df%C3%BC-netzwerk/</guid><description>Die T-Online-Software läuft instabil und ist ressourcenfressend.
