When I was young, I was not allowed to install anything on the family PC whatsoever. I had a 100MB Zip disk and was told anything that I wanted to keep, I could keep on there. That disk got a big workout. Had Duke 3D and the Half-Life Uplink demo on there, plus about 30MB to spare! Great days man.

Hah I was the same. Downloaded demos (happypuppy.com, gamesdomain.com), installed on a Jaz drive.

Those iomega devices had a pretty awesome design.

Oh, maaaan. HappyPuppy. I haven't thought of that in ages.

Oh man I forgot about those site! Back in the day my mom couldn't afford to get me many new video games, so I'd download tons of demos.
