Re: Dune 2000

If memory serves those are all BIOS settings that were supposed to speed things up but on more modern i.e. systems starting in the mid 90`s they were sometimes counterproductive...

Re: Remastering games, is it really worth it?

in Milliways
My son has a pretty up to date rig and plays various "modern" games and while on a side-by-side comparison of course the newer games look better but not mind blowingly better like we saw in the jump between 1999 and 2009. (which is when I stopped /paused gaming) . Just like the 1:1 "live action" …

Re: Why did you join Vogons?

in Milliways
I used to be a forum moderator on the official 3dfx forums (as well as a beta tester for their hardware) and when I got my first XP machine had trouble getting some games to work, not to mention I wanted to keep up on the Voodoo scene. That was 2005-2006ish and then life took over in the form of …

I was also pretty good at MechWarrior 3 (are you seeing a pattern here?). Granted, these were never massive competitions but I have fond …

At the time I was using an EPox board and was an AMD fan. They had to send me two new sets of drivers before the card worked on my board. So I …
