Moving out to live in a dorm, getting a well paying programming job 3 years later and spending all my money on filling the 12x10 ft room full of the latest technology. Laserdisc, S-VHS, Yamaha DPS AX-1, B&W 603 speakers, Rel subwoofer, 2nd hand CRT projector on a white washed wall, first dvd drive to watch dvds via pc, nvidia shutter glasses for full room 3D effects, first digital camcorder. Everything cross connected to watch tv on the pc, mix cd music with pc games and play pc games on the wall.
Birth of home surround sound, Dolby digital, DTS. Birth of the internet. Birth of 3D games and fps. Adventure games still got the big budget treatment. Silly cd-rom and later dvd games, Phantasmagoria, 7th guest, Tex murphy overseer. Going from 320x200 256 colors to 1600x1200 16.7 million colors. Importing movies on Laserdisc and dvd before they arrived in the movie theaters in the Netherlands.
Going to huge trance parties, Innercity, Dance Valley, Tiesto, Ferry Corsten.
Star wars was still good. X-wing and Tie fighter games! Civilization, Dune 2, Command & Conquer, Warcraft, Age of Empires, Myst, Frontier Elite, Diablo, Dungeon Keeper, FF7, MGS, Baldur's gate, Half-Life, Grim Fandango.
Obviously I did not have a girlfriend in the 90's
