    I remember getting a Hotshot/286 card which allowed me to upgrade my 8088 to a 286. I don't even remember what programs I used back then but I'm sure they ran a lot faster after that.

    IIRC correctly, the card was normally around $400 but I managed to get one for $150 and I was so proud of my dealmaking.

    i just remember we had 2 games: King's Quest 4: Rosella's Peril and Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego, but we could only have one installed at a time.
