Everytime someone talks about old computers, it makes me miss the 90s "turbo button"
There were built in over clocks that could be activated while the computer was running.
So anytime you loaded up a game, you got to engage it with a physical button.
I think that's backwards - the turbo button (very unintuitively) actually slowed down the computer to allow backwards compatibility with older software and games!
Here's where I heard that, anyways: https://youtu.be/p2q02Bxtqds?si=f-inplPWdxMnwwu8
