I bought an old but like new Asus eeePC 900. Remember those useless eeePC ? Well, it's even more useless now. Looking at Linux , it seems to be fully supported. A Debian or Fedora system would fit nicely on its 16 GB (!) SSD. It will be still hard to make anything useful out of it. 900 MHz CPU, 2 GB …

Today I learned that playboy apparently wanted to inform its readers about how cool the 3DFX Voodoo and Rendition Verité were. CDA2071E-578D-452B-A824-F3C76F95C51D.jpeg 1997 was a wild time, and just look at that off-model Duke. Well as a 3Dfx hater [...] So much hate for everyone and everything. …

Yeah, no links or any sort of proof, yet again. This is going nowhere. Opinions are fine, but for someone who wants to know more, this is disappointing. I don't agree with flat earthers and anti-vaxxers either You do you, my dude. 🙄

It was better than VHS in everyway except ...Sony owned it. Not... really. It was sort of comparable to VHS, at best. *points to the movie studios that used it till just recently, you know why .. Arguments of authority don't count. it was far more reliable than VHS ever was, it could also handle …

I know BetaMax was before VHS and it only had 1 tape reel that was visible and the other side was not. That and magnetic tape which can fit up to 5 hours of shows, movies, etc. If my memory serves, the BetaMax lasted from 1975-about 2002 when recorders weren't being produced since the sharp decline …

There is mine, but you'll need at least Windows 98, and to have installed Internet Explorer 5.5 , Microsoft Installer 2.0 , and .NET Framework 2.0 Windows 98 IS supported. In the Preferences dialog, you can enable the option to not use DOSBox for any game. It will then let you launch anything, and …

Hello, sorry I could not answer sooner. You can run the game from the hard drive, with all the files from DUNE.DAT decompressed into the same folder as DNCDPRG.EXE. You still need to re-pack your driver with HSQ compression. Maybe I could produce a compiled executable of sonicpp's HSQH.C file.

Hey, don't put all adventure games in the same bag. The Secret of Monkey Island doesn't use moon logic at all, for example. It's the same for all Lucas Arts adventure games, now that I think about it. Also, you don't die every 3 seconds.

If Conspiracy exists for this platform, could Dune exist too ? I'm beginning to reconsider... Partially because Conspiracy looks so good !!
