Twenty years ago was using an Amiga 3000. I had some very impressive interactive books on CD-ROM -- pretty much inaccessible these days.

I was also using a text editor to read some public domain books (Shakespeare, Sherlock Holmes stories, etc.) that had been collected on CD-ROM. Not nearly as impressive, but they still "work" just fine! (Yes, I still have the CD-ROMs.)
