I was just clearing out one of 'those' draws where you bust bung everything and came across these.

And you think we pay too much for PC components and software now?

This wasn't that long ago either

I have the Microsoft 3D Sidewinder Joystick which is still lying around in perfect working condition but no socket to connect it to

Also paid $1,000 for a 3.2 MP digital camera. Talk about feeling embarrased

I'd guess '97 or close.

The Gamepad still working fine on my daughter's computer, serial connection and cabled.

That Goosebumps game was great, I still got it. My 3 used to play it for hours, but forty quid for a game?

And I have no idea whatever became of the Matrox card but I do remember it had a pretty good motor cycle racing game come with it
