I had a trust fund to burn, and a cleverly put together PC, freshly bought Pentium 3 500.
(First ever PC too, bar a really cheap and shonky 286 I was given by my cheapskate dad roughly a year ago - it ran, but funnily, that's the one I first tried buying Sam and Max for with little clue about "minimum requirements".)
The P3 had crisp new components, four point surround, and also including the next level of video/data: DVD-ROM!
And talk about the perfect DVD to accompany this:
THE MATRIX.
And since this was fixed up with TV-Out, the clear image shone at me after YEARS of nothing but VCR.
Cue jaw hitting deck for two hours.
(And it's still 80% the same machine, same sound card and surround, and still kicks arse! )
EDIT: So I don't sound rich nor wanky, the trust fund was barely enough for the PC and DVD.
