Hi!

Long time ago, i had an IBM ps/2 Model 30.

I could never test the game "another world" on it, so I'm asking if somebody could test it, just for the fun of it.

This model is a 8086 with 640 kb of RAM, and included a MCGA video card (not VGA) so i think that could make the game not to work at all.

Thanks!

This eBay auction has a pretty good scan of the box.

If you look really closely at the green sticker, it seems it supports EGA and MCGA – and Tandy, of course.

I was kind of skeptical before I found this picture, and I really doubt it would run very well, but there it is.

Wow.. It surelly worked well!.

Some people told me it run on an 8086 - 8 mhz very well, but they all had VGA cards. May be it is slow at some scenes with lots of vectors...

I think i could get back my old model 30.. i'll try
