Set up my Pentium 1 the other day so I can play through Doom and sigil 1 and 2 as well as other games. The last computer left is the 486. Doom is a blast no matter how many times I play it. This is a Pentium 1 233 MMX with a 12 meg voodoo 2. https://i.imgur.com/PlQa0sp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ …

Well I loe reading old gaming and computer magazines like most of us do. and this would be cool if its about building retro computers, and talks about old parts and so on so I guess it could be neat, but give readers the first issue free to check it out . So im on the fence and am not paying 6 euros …

I started a playthrough of Doom for the 30th anniversary. I intend to play through Ultimate Doom, then Sigil and Sigil 2 on my pentium 233. That actually sounds like fun! I've played through Sigil when it came out and have played random Doom levels here and there, but it's been a long while since …
