I remember getting a Hotshot/286 card which allowed me to upgrade my 8088 to a 286. I don’t even remember what programs I used back then but I’m sure they ran a lot faster after that.
IIRC correctly, the card was normally around $400 but I managed to get one for $150 and I was so proud of my dealmaking.
i just remember we had 2 games: King’s Quest 4: Rosella’s Peril and Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego, but we could only have one installed at a time.
A friend of mine had a Commodore 20 with no tape drive. Not only could we only have one game at a time installed, but also we had to manually type in the code for the game each time.
When we upgraded from the Atari whatsit box to a 286 it was amazing
