Hi everybody
I might be able to get back my old IBM ps/2 model 30 and I wanted to ask some questions.
The old PC looks just like this one:
Specs are:
CPU: 8086 - 8 Mhz
RAM: 640 kb
Graphics: on board MCGA
I want to use it to play games, so I wonder if I could improve it a little bit.
Could I connect an Adlib sound card and a VGA into it?
And what about RAM and CPU?. Could I get a 286 or 386 and 2MB of ram, and connect them in to the mother board?
EDIT: games working on 8086 8 Mhz and VGA.
(some played by me long time ago, others tested by some guy in another forum):
- Prince of persia MCGA-VGA(this worked perfect, I used to play it)
- Pinball dreams (Not full speed, anyway it is playable)
- Another world MCGA-VGA (PC speaker is very slow, needs soundcard to play sound)
- Xenon II - Megablast
- Civilization
- Cobra mission
- lucas games:
Monkey Island MCGA-VGA
Indiana jones and the last crusade MCGA-VGA(a bit slow)
Monkey Island 2 EGA and VGA (a bit slow)
Maniac Mansion MCGA-VGA
Day of the Tentacle and Sam&Max (slow, need 570K of conventional memory and 2Mb of EMS memory).
- Winter/Summer challenge MCGA-VGA (a bit slow)
- Sky or Die
- Titus the Fox
- Golden Axe
- Double Dragon
- Dangerous Dave
- Home Alone (a bit slow)
- Super off road
- All games using EGA
Thanks a lot!
