Got a second hand ISA interface SoundBlaster 64 at a computer fair in San Diego when I was visiting there for the best summer of my life in 1998. If I remember correctly it was $4.
Money well spent.
At the Scottish Rite Center in Mission Valley? There’s a good chance I was also there that year. My two most prized possessions I acquired there were a 3dfx Voodoo Rush, and a modded PlayStation 1 in a clear plastic housing.
Not there but (and I had to google maps this) it was at a place that I think is called "Pechanga Arena" now on the aptly named "Sports Arena Blvd" but I think the arena was called something else back then. About 2 miles from Ocean / Mission beaches and close to my apartment at the time.
You did well with your purchases!
Flippin' LOVE San Diego.
Ah yeah, Pechanga Arena was just “The Sports Arena” in the era before sponsoring venues was a thing. They still to a swap meet in the parking lot of that place every weekend. Random other info about that place, they shot a scene from Almost Famous at one of the freight entrances there.
That's what I thought! But it just seemed like my memory playing tricks on me for a place to be called "The Sports Arena". LOL.
WHAAAT!?!?! Love that movie and I only rewatched it there a few months ago not knowing that. That's a cool little nugget. Thanks!
