Federico Mena QuinteroFractint on a 386 VGA PC. Boost if you remember.
Zalasur 🐸🇺🇦@federicomena I still have some of the original image and parameter files that were hosted on my website
yakkoj 🦊@federicomena fractint on 386DX with no FPU and no cache and 512k VGA card.
Henrik Pauli@federicomena I think I even remember it on an EGA :)
@phl I think the only EGA I ever saw was at my mom's office - they had a 286!!! With 2 MB of RAM!!!
@federicomena Ours was originally a 386 SX? 16 MHz, but Norton Utilities measured 9.6
The EGA card was a Prisma EGAMax 860 which had some mad features like multisync monitor support, and even on its own EGA monitor it could do 132 column stuff.
Fractint, Skyglobe, DERIVE were a few utilities I remember, though I was mostly busy with the games.
@phl Ooooh, I *LOVED* Derive! It's what made me want to learn Lisp.
@federicomena Excellent graphing (even 3D) for such ancient processors
... (FKA Gergely Nagy 🐁)@federicomena Fractint was the reason I asked for a 387 co-processor for my birthday.
Frédéric Crozat@federicomena I had a 386 SX to run it (as well as Povray) and bought a 387SX from Cyrix because it had better performance !

Also fractals written in BASIC on my VIC-20. One image took more than 24h. No save routine. (*_*)
