'99 is an interesting year for me. I got fired from my job as store technician with Special Reserve (UK-based mail order PC retailer) and got a job in London. This is the only time in my life that I ever owned a bang-up-to-date rig, albeit an off-the-shelf one from a shop. I bought a Pentium III 733Mhz (Coppermine - still have the CPU, got rid of the mobo years ago) on finance. Pretty sure it had a TNT2 card in it at the time, which I later upgraded to a Radeon 8500 when it first came out. I really don't remember much from these years as I was pretty out of touch with gaming etc. but I played a lot of Rollcage Stage II and Carmageddon TDR 2000, possibly also X-Wing and Tie Fighter Collector's edition. It was also the only time I bought a complete system.
