I'm terribly sorry old chap, but I've been so busy buying junk on you-know-where, that I haven't tested Archimedean Dynasty on a voodoo 5500 yet. Please forgive me.

Edit: I don't have a machine with a V5 in it. I do have a V5, but it's in a cupboard ATM! 😊 😦

Here's another game I just got - please see photo. Last time I played this game was, oh I don't know, 10 years ago!

Now all I need is Skynet (never played it), and I can have super VGA!

Now that's a good game, bought it too circa a year ago

This runs in 320x256 only?

I'm 99% sure it's a VGA only game, but when you purchase its sequel, "Skynet", "T:FS" is then upgraded to SVGA! 😀

This photo link below shows the back cover art, which states "VGA" for its graphics -

Edit: The link below describes the game "Skynet", and explains about the SVGA upgrade for both of these Terminator games -

Ebay item number 140286230041 may interest you. If you want it, by all means go for it! 😁 However, if you want to get a copy elsewhere, I'll bid on it! 🤣

However, you first! The reason is because you offer excellent advice on Vogons, and I think it's only fair that you have it. 😀

BTW, if no one wants it, I'll place a £10 bid, but I don't want to inadvertently start a "bidding war" between Vogons users! 🤣

Sold! 🤑 Happy gaming Jonas! 😁

A few moments later, I snagged these 3 games [see photo] for just 99p (that's less than a couple of bucks).

I guess I'm going to be learning a bit about those ancient Roman dudes. 😀

Thought of just posting what I've got both from eBay and from the stores directly. Just a part of my collection..

As you can see, the ATAC and Global Conquest are still unopened. Still factory sealed.
This Drakkhen game is the European Version. Has the pewter figurine too.

umm, so maybe slightly off-topic...('games')

But this one looked kinda interesting:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dual-CPU-Pentium-100Mhz … 1QQcmdZViewItem

Some Vogons member in Nottingham might wanna take a look ?
(there should be at least one rabid 'junk collector' from the UK somewhere around here 🤣 )

Not sure if it is any good for playing games on, but... ?
At least that black case looks intriguing, and with dual P100... heh 😁

Actually there's a separate thread for hardware acquisitions, but still, dual P100 is interesting. Neither DOS, Win98, nor Win95 support dual processor, and it seems to be too slow for Win2000. Probably you can run NT 3.5.1 or those UNIXes.

MechCommander, complete in box, but only because I need the manual. Skipped the game the first time it came around, and when I bought the Gold version, it only came with the expansion pack's manual. Plan to scan it for replacementdocs, though.

I bought Halo 3 Legendary Edition, but decided to buy Playstation 3 80 Gb Perfectly Silent latest edition with the 2 Latest Dualshock 3 joysticks.

I'll buy Xbox 360 Elite later, just to finish my Halo 3 Legendary Edition.

In other news, I also bought Mass Effect PC, Red Alert 3 Premier Edition PC + many more, but I'll tell you about the others over time. 😀 It will take 6 months to list everything that I have bought 😀
