Yeah. They were the Amiga of video cards. Years ahead of anyone in technology, couldn't market their way out of a wet paper bag. Amiga's #31 on the list, I'm happy to point out.

Cold Dead Fish.

That's an interesting list. IMHO, they nailed #1 as it was what woke me up when it appeared.

I would have put the Nintendo Entertainment System a bit higher.

The 3dfx Voodoo 3 was totally awesome.

I also had the Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16, hooked up to my $600 1X CD-ROM drive.

P.S. Personally I think instead of Doom, it should have been Wolfenstein 3D on the list, considering it was the one that started it all.

Naturally (as always) Atari is higher on the list than any Commodore product

Thats exactly what I thought too. Also I would have had Quake1 on there as the first true 3-axis 3D game.

Oh man. Atari 2600! That brings back memories. Combat! Pitfall! Kaboom!...

Hypercard. I remember many years ago, when one of the first video editing programs was based on Hypercard. I can't remember the name of the program. It eventually got bought out and re-written in I guess C.

Can anyone else remember the program?

[Sherman Homan]

I'll go with Excel, but Windows 95? Yikes!

Buckaroo, how about VideoWorks?

[imitchellg5]

Windows 95 was pretty innovative when it came out.

I would have put 'ZORK'.

Pretty sure the Video Toaster was Hypercard based...though that wasnt so much a program as it was an entire system running on Amiga. OH yeah, those were the days.

As for the Fleshlight I cant say that I've had the pleasure.
