Not exactly "today", but i just have to share... NIB, purchased locally back in 1998 and never used, just stored away and forgoten about, till now. Ps- Perhaps this AT case is from 1996, im guessing from the warranty sticker on the PSU when they were both possibly mated together at the same time.

Dont get me wrong... i dig playing the original doom/doom2 from yesteryear, but to me, brutal has more punch thats gratifying, even if it just for a little while.

PC GAME.... what exactly are the system specs for this game? Some disks that have "AMD K6 3D +A3D", "3DFX VooDoo2" or "ATI AGP+4mb" printed on them show a minimum of Pentium 166mhz while other disks without said hardward show a minimum Pentium 233mhz, are these OEM vs Retail Disks?

I recently visited one of the last remaining mom and pops computer store, they have been around since 1987... i bought a Dell 17" LCD(1708fpt) from 2007 that has both vga …

From what i remember, i think i was having issues with my OPTI 931 card... hence the switch over to the SoundBlaster16 card which i had bought retail back in the late 90s.
