We had a 1x so it was too slow for Phantasmagoria. Instead of buying a new drive, my father picked up this terrible software that would write portions of the data to the hard drive when the game bogged down. It kind of worked but only after you went through it once, so whoever played the game after you got a smoother experience.

That’s really cool! It’s a good example of what i like to think of as “transitional tech”–stuff that did the job, but as tech continued to evolve their usefulness phased out.
