Windows 3.1 (T-Shirt Challenge!) Part 7/9

What? Oh, I'm just getting rained on and sweating my balls off. >_< 80 degrees, 70% humidity and rain all at the SAME TIME?! Ohhh, it's like I won the lottery. The worst...lottery...ever. T_T Anyway, please excuse my perspiration and partially rain splattered clothing. My style just can't handle these great times we're living in. Rain at least one day every week for the last 10 weeks. Holy sh*t, Summer! Gah! o_O Also, it didn't help that I was wearing a dress underneath all of this, but I wanted to make use of that cute leather collar. I really liked the color contrast. It was worth the suffering, dammit. Haha.

OK. Alright. Focus. There was something really nerdy and cool that I wanted to talk about. Ahh, yes. Radtastic games for Windows 3.1. <3 Guys! :DDD I know many of you are probably too young to know what a floppy disk is, let alone Windows 3.1. So, you guys can just scroll down and ignore this bit. Now, for the rest of you. Come closer, bros. I have stories to tell. *^_^* I remember playing some sick games on my IBM 486 as a young lass. My dad is an electrical engineer, so we always had the latest gear in my house and my two brothers were fortunate enough to have their own computers, also. :P~

I played mostly DOS games, but I also had a cornucopia of games for Windows 3.1. Awww yeah. Ya'll remember Solitaire and Minesweeper? Of course, you do. ;D Who can forget those simple, sweet graphics!? I was never that great at Minesweeper, but when I saw this rad t-shirt with the modern rendition, I very nearly peed my pants. Haha. Best shirt ever! Anyway, Solitaire and Minesweeper were most often passed over for games like Castle of the Winds (epic!), SimCity and Civilization. <3

Yeah. Hardcore nerd stuff, right here. I obviously didn't get out much. Haha. It wasn't entirely my fault, though. My parents were pretty strict and a wee bit controlling when it came to my social life. I spent a lot of time playing strategy games and dungeon crawlers and chatting with friends with whom I wasn't allowed to fraternize on ICQ and IRC. My computer quickly became a source of comfort. It was and still is my best friend. I know. So sad! Haha. It's OK, guys. Don't feel bad. I'm a very happy geek! ^_^

Oh no, I don't feel sad, I was also very controlled, but although I had a computer I only played Solitaire or Majong, and that was fine. I loooved the T-shirt, I want that :) And with the very beautiful skirt, great! The idea of the dress underneath is great, too, I loved the contrast of the collar! Hot is so not for me, I love fall, so I hope the weather gets better soon!

Me, too! Summer used to be my favorite time of the year, but for many years now, it has been Fall that I've looked forward to the most. I wish it weren't so short!

Legit combo, dude! And how fitting to wear this with Windows 10's release around the corner! Minesweeper helped invent rage quitting, I'm sure of it.

I have never really experienced humidity, but the little bit that I have experienced--not a fan. And neither is my hair. But I am a fan of graphic tees and cute polka dot skirts! Love this!

I don't understand a single word from the part about computers and games, I think I should be born like 20 years earlier :P the only games from childhood I remember was Pegasus o.O

My friend LOVED Civilizations (I got bored too easily) and solitaire was fun.

Hope you get some sunshine soon.

Hehe. I'm super obsessed when it comes to gaming. I can play the same game over and over again just to get all of the achievements and find all of the secrets. <3

I am in love with the skirt and how you styled it, also the shirt is somewhat close to the games that you told us. So fun! :)

Ha, computer games... that's not my favourite topic;-) My son knows that;-)
But I can talk about your set - I love the skirt. I like polka dot print.

Yes for games! I dig your shirt + the peter pan color with your pretty skirt! I was definitely allowed freedom, but I stayed playing online games anyway. Happy geeks are my fave xx

I love your t-shirt challenge! I didn't have a pleasure :D to use Win 3.1 or DOS but I was also playing some games during my childhood (and now :D). I remember Desperados http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/22432-desperados-wanted-dead-or-alive-windows-screenshot-a-man-being.jpg , Age of Empires II http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/ageofempires/images/f/fd/Aoe3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110621032149 and The Sims :D

Wicked! Desperados looks super cool. This is my first time hearing about it. I'll try to find some videos of game play. Oh, Age of Empires, yeah! I played that, too! Really tough game!

Just caught up on this series and I must say I love it. The colour adds a nice touch to this outfit. I love your skirt but your shoes have my heart, I've been looking for something like this since forever now.

Aww you're such a cute nerd! And you must have the most unique collection if t-shirts!! *o* <3

Solitaire was pretty much my first addictive gaming experience :') I loved SimCity too and SimPark even more.

Also that collar is everything <3 <3

Ah the weather on my end has not been cooperating either! Every time I try to go outside to take pictures, it begins to rain! Literally right when I am ready to start. Blah!
Anyway such a great idea-styling t-shirts in different ways. And I always love when I see this happy polka-dotted skirt! :)
