It IS a 440LX though. In my experience, it's not so friendly with underclocking if you go beyond 200mhz.

Is your rather EXTREME -100MHz CPU underclock killing it somehow? What's the point of underclocking a 233 for playing games? The P2's architecture can't work just like a Pentium if that's what you're thinking. If it's for Descent going too fast, then patch Descent 😀

Well looking along the lists, the only bad parts are the ATI video cards - you've got the terrible ones of their generation. Ok they're fine for 2D, but... Rage II in 3d isn't something you want to play on. :) ATI Radeon 9000 also has some driver hell issues too IIRC, but then again, so does the …

Re: Theme Park (1994) : unplayable?
Posted on 2010-11-04, 00:15
THERE'S A VERSION 0.75!? Yes, Theme Park is fine. Use a fixed cycles count (instead of auto) because Bullfrog games do not throttle at all. I only played the CD version, though...

Re: dune 2 - can't start
Posted on 2010-11-03, 06:12
that's because the file doesn't exist. the person who ripped it to the internet thinks it's an unneeded file or marked somehow. keyword in op: i downloaded a proper dune2 works fine and it comes with this file.

I used to like Let's Play when it was a short SomethingAwful novelty. Many Let's Plays are just there for attention and low-effort attempts at comedy, so it's a strong applicant of Sturgeon's Law.

Funny how my 486 totally exceeds MPC Level 3. MPC was a very simple way for OEMs to simplify the explanation of internals. Had it still been around... we'd have MPC Level 17 computers on the shelves.

Ravenholm in Half-Life 2. I never liked that physics novelty demo. The scariness is only overplayed by the annoying poison headcrabs and the terrible nearest-neighbor filtered 11khz zombie moanies. It's a bad effort at scary at best... which is made even worse by instant autoloading of whatever …

1. Yes. Floppy jackets and isolation rule so much. Lazy pessimists think there's no hope for these (and older CD-Rs too) because they probably fail to follow the common advice on the jackets or media box. :) 2. I don't know about that one. You'll have to try imaging the disk normally first then try …

Is Steam actually required for CS1.x if you have physical installation media? I suppose it probably is now to use the latest version so that you can play with others on the Internet. CS1.5 is the latest WON/Non-Steam version (in which the only players are hackers), and the physical Counter-Strike …
