Default haywire gauges and sluggish acceleration

I was driving to work this am, and the battery light came on after about 15 minutes of driving. A few minutes later, the ABS light came on. The tachometer and speedometer then bounced from zero to what they were several times, and then they stopped registering. When I stopped and started, the car was very sluggish. Does anyone have any ideas?

did it act any different before? or was it just running smooth and then all of a sudden all this happened? sounds like it could be a problem with the PCM but the description is very vague...

It was running smoothly and this suddenly happened. This morning, it started normally and accelerated normally for a couple seconds. The gauges still did not register. After it briefly accelerated, it quickly lost power and died after a couple hundred yards. The hazard lights wouldn't work either. It is a 1997 Accord with 152,000 miles on it.
