I'm sure if we start talking about it, there will be a bunch of people of a certain age that will wax lyrical about putting mouse drivers in the high memory area, testing changes to autoexec.bat to see what works, using EMM386, and a bunch of other stuff I have forgotten.
Just getting to the stage of playing games used to be a lot more educational than it is now, and I think there is something to that. If I had kids I would definitely try to recreate that experience for them somehow.
