I wanted to put this up here, hope this is the right spot and I'm not violating any rules but I thought I'd throw this out there.
I'm going to be doing a series of youtube videos showing me attempting to run various games and software from the 80's on my IBM PCjr with 640k of RAM.
So far I have one video up but I thought you guys may like to see this since I personally can't find any information on what will or will not run on the PCjr at all.
If you don't know already (which you probably do) the PCjr was IBM's entry into the home computer market, they were attempting to compete with companies like Commodore and Apple but the computer never took off for various reasons not the least of which was the fact that a lot of IBM PC software would not run properly on the IBM PCjr. The IBM PCjr came out in 1984 and has what is now known as "Tandy graphics and sound" but it predates the tandy 1000 machines and is in fact where that chip set originates from.
So if you are like me and you want information on what will run or if you just are a PCjr enthusiast then take a gander. I hope this is useful to someone. 😀
(As of yet I only have but one video showing Roadwar 2000 but I am uploading a few tonight showing Elite, Roadwar Europa and Empire Wargame of the century.)

Once again, please, please don't ban me if this is not allowed. Just tell me and I'll remove this post. I'm just a regular DOS enthusiast and I'm not trying to exploit anything.
