I don't think you could beat the PC speaker version for menace - the humble PC speaker had its moments.

Ah, true. Providing it's a properly installed cone speaker.

Guess. It's a tough one.

and I made it pixelated, cause vogons ^^

I drew this on my iPad and used it for awhile because it was easy to draw. It is computer geek that looks like the guy from

Roger Wilco from Space Quest. This particular pic is from the intro sequence of SQ3.

Space Quests 1 to 3 were the most memorable games on our first family PC. Many years later I learned about the existence of the MT-32, and I was floored by how SQ3 sounded compared to the PC speaker I had in the day. That sent me down the deep hole of retro builds.

Meet Chuih, one of SEGA's space mice from ChuChu Rocket (Dreamcast title) which I used to play a lot in my early teens 🤣

You just gave me flashbacks to standing infront of the Tekker for several hours...

Due to the nature of my retro rig in sig.... my avatar is quite fitting as the OS of choice.

Mine is just a ceramic Pentium 133 that I extracted from one of my old rigs to swap it out with a P233MMX (which I later found out that it might be a dud, I have terrible luck with computers).

At some point I may just change it... But I'm undecided on that matter.

Mine is inspired by my previous avatar (half life lambda logo) for the orange E, and the rest is inspired by the IBM thinkpad logo because when I did it, I just had received my IBM thinkpad 380XD 😁

For some unfathomable reason IBM paid a fortune to use the Pink Panther character to promote their PC line in the early 90s. The sight of IBM lorries branded with the character driving past my house on the way to the local factory is etched into my childhood memory. Very odd. Apparently that marketing idea originated in the French branch.
