You mention playing these old MT-32 Sierra games with MIDI, but many of these games had broken/distorted sounds on MS-DOS unless the MIDI interface supported a highly specific "intelligent" mode which only a few contemporary cards supported. For these ports to be accurate, either there would have …

4600Ti is absolutely overkill for OS 9 games. The only OS9 games where I've had sub 60 fps on my Powerbook G4 are Return To Castle Wolfenstein (which was among the very last OS 9 games released) and Descent 3 (which has shit framerates on every system due to a bug on the Mac port which the …

Please help. This was a Windows game I played around 1994 or 1995 and it came on 3 or 4 discs. You explore an uninhabited tropical island which has been polluted by radiation and you have to get rid of the radiation by solving puzzles. It had CG graphics.

I've acquired MPEG versions of two games: 1) Conspiracy by Cryo (AKA KGB). In the non-MPEG CD version, Donald Sutherland's character speaks to you in the worst example of full-screen FMV I've ever seen - terrible resolution. I haven't been able to get the MPEG version to play, but it has standard …

OS 9? Rare 2GHz CPU upgrade? Tell me more... The last G4 upgrade was 7448 based and was available as a single or dual 1.8ghz. I have seen reviews for the 2ghz 7447A, but never saw any actual product either for sale or being talked about by anyone who had one. I do not believe they ever shipped …

I found out that the PC version of G-Police has an option for AGP cards only where the game supposedly has better graphics (most notably the billboards have full videos instead of just animations.) Does anyone know if there are any other games like this that have an option for AGP cards only?

If they only have an updated version of the kernel, yes there will be 32bit version. But if they realise that the vast majority of computers that were sold the last 6-8 years is 64bit, they may intenionally cut it off to force some more users to update. Anyway, the visual changes are "meeeeh" in my …

Interesting that you say GLQuake looks better with a Voodoo 1 than with a Voodoo 2. What do you mean by that? I've only played it using a Voodoo 2 so I can't comment on that...

The main reason to get a Voodoo card for Mac would be to play 3D games in VirtualPC 3.1 and RealPC. A 1ghz G4 is enough to play 3D games comfortably on VPC when using a Voodoo 2. Mouse support tends to be broken for games in those emulators though... you'll be stuck with keyboard only on many games. …
