And then being super pumped when the modems were upgraded to 28.8. Yeah. Me old. You not. Me get it.

And when I thought it couldn't get any weirder...

I remember raving toy maniac and slow dial up, Back when 21 megabytes was considered huge. It took me like 2 hours to download 21 MB of a game demo. I think the game was Earth 2140. Fun RTS like Command and Conquer but 3D-ish, it was a few years before C&C started utilizing 3D technology. The sequel Earth 2150 was fully 3-Dimensional with cool graphics and you could even import your own custom flags on the buildings. Back before facebook twitter all of that stuff, downloading Galoob Micro Machines Star Trek pictures For my next trip to Toys R Us. And probably KB toys.
