Re: Reasons to hate modern games

Game developers in the 90s had less to work with, so invested more in gameplay, humor and story. But they had enough to make stunning handdrawn graphics and amazing midi soundtracks. Going off on a rabbit hole here but this reminds me of the state of movies these days. Back in the day they had less …

In 1993 an engineer I worked with had his own PC (an ALR model maybe a 386) that wasn't tied to the company network. Anyways during lunch hour he let me play Konami NFL on it which I had bought at a computer store in the mall. Those were the days!

Fortunately even in Alabama I have a Gigaparts store within an hour's drive so it's nice to have SOMETHING besides BestBuy. I was even able to buy an RTX card there right before prices went bonkers.

Re: Should I use Win98 or XP for my Build?

My similar system has TWO Windows ME installs and a Win98SE install. They both held up better than 98SE. My DOS compatibility is broken anyway with the SBPCI128's legacy drivers conflicting with the PCX2. PCX2 is something I'd like to get a hold of but that is pure fantasy for obvious reasons. …

There aren't much to justify using it on an active build other than as a curiosity. High mouse rate and USB storage are two reasons. There's also some support for later versions of DirectX 9. This P3's a strong candidate for a ME machine. The ME shame is overplayed so much to the point, some had …

Lawnie, can't seem to find Radix anywhere from the likes of GOG, Ebay and etc. Abandonware has a 8mb file but was hoping to get the full game or a CD.

Lawnie, wondering if you'd consider putting Eradicator on you're list of "things to do"? It's a late era DOS game which I happened to get recently on GOG. It's ok so far in the little time I've spent with it, has some sticking points where I can't figure out what to do next. Check it out!

For the record, I ended up buying a 1st generation Audigy off Ebay. No sense going down this "rabbit" hole just for integrated sound.

Got a Intel D865GLC mobo and having a heckuva time getting the integrated sound working. Installed the drivers straight off the cd and it alerts me to install the win98se audio updates also on the cd which I did. But upon rebooting it's still searching for drivers and I'm getting an error "no adi …
