Apricot Computers announces the first 486-based PC, in London, England. The VX FT system uses the 25 MHz Intel 80486 chip, IBM's MCA bus, and is priced starting at US$18,000

Deteriorata posted:Yes. It's sometimes difficult to believe how expensive computing equipment used to be. True that. I still can't believe my parents got me a Voodoo 2 card for a christmas present! Going from QuakeWorld in software mode to OpenGL was orgasmic, coupled with my amazing (not) S3 ViRGE 4 MB graphics card. I remember being so jealous of a friend having a Voodoo 1 card that ran Rainbow Six with amazing FPS.

bewilderment posted:That role-playing game image is from a White Wolf book for Werewolf, Subsidiaries: A Guide to Pentex. Pentex was an evil corporation, one of which was Black Dog (also White Wolf's name for their more 'adult' line - not just dumb sexual material, but also their surprisingly well-received Charnel Houses of the Shoah for Wraith), a a parody of White Wolf themselves. That image was used to illustrate Black Dog. Most Black Dog stuff totally did just take the mega lovely "adult" parts of White Wolf and magnify them, though.

Sounds about right for early 90's. I remember tons of articles later in the decade about the $999 barrier and if decent home PC's would ever profitably break it.
