The DOS version was one of the first graphical things I ever saw. My dad pretty much lived on the road in England and one day he came home with this installed on his portable (not really a laptop). Everyone remembers their first experience with Google Maps when it came out; I had similar feelings with this as a kid. It took ages to calculate a route, but it was incredibly cool. On a black and white, slow-refresh LCD screen, the map background was black and the routes in various shades of light grey. As a Cold War kid it felt like I was some sort of spymaster or nuclear forces general using secret technology to plan my campaigns.
