I finally found someone who has the S3D Game Pak disc for sale. This disc contains the S3 Virge versions of Havoc, Actua Soccer and Terminal Velocity. The first two being exclusives. This is a pretty rare bundled OEM disc. The problem is that it is located in Taiwan. If someone here is from Taiwan …

Just me or that the games between 2000-2005 can't compare to the ones between 1995-1999? Ofc there are many good games released in these years, but I feel the late nineties had way more classics people remember.

Almost all games on Kickstarter have a large surge at the end. Both this one and Tex will most likely make it. Tex even more so with 69% pledged and 3 more days to go than SpaceVenture.

I have a MT-100 I got for 20 dollar on Ebay, but I have no plans to get a real roland mpu unless I stumble across one very cheap. They are just too rare and too expensive to be worth it imo, espiacally when there are alternatives as mentioned in earlier posts. - The USB to Midi adapters and playing …

here ya go : Cheers :) Just too bad the Actua Soccer patch only works with the original 3D blaster release which I don't think is easy to get hold of. It says in the readme that you have to send in your copy of Actua Soccer if you have the normal retail one to get a new copy back. I guess this is …

lol, how did you find out? I never mentioned any country. I would be willing to go higher, but not when I get replies like that. Also as I said, I'll rather get a SC-55 than a SCB-55. Other than the mentioned benefits of the SC-55 and it being cheaper, I don't want to buy a whole computer and drive …

Forgot to mention it's more like craigslist kind of site, not auction. He can change the ad as much as he wants as far as I know. The ad has been there for over three weeks so I would start to think he would become a bit interested in alternatives (as they only run for 30 days). His price for the …

Okey. There are a SCB-55 as part of a whole computer for sale on a local version of Ebay. I'm not interested in the whole computer (socket a with duron 800), which he wants a whopping 100 dollars for. I've offered the seller 35 dollars for the SCB-55 only to which the only reply I got was "No :)". I …

I do not agree that the only version worth archiving is the 3dfx version. Yes it might the best one seen from a gameplay perspective, but those of us who has old graphics cards laying around and want to run software specially tailored for them are interested in these versions. Here are the mystique …

Nice pictures! While some might wait for AurealDieHard to sell his collection there are new Vortex 2 cards (similar to Sonic Vortex 2) on Ebay for a fair price (4.99€) and fair shipping. Not my auction, but I bought a card from this seller and its pretty sweet. Seller has 8 left in stock so get them …

I've tried this once, but the performance was awful. Huge lag on the whole system and even worse performance than using an old IDE drive. Maybe I had a bad adapter or card or did something wrong. I used a 512mb card and it was installed in the computer in my signature. So I cant help specifically …
