I got this system in 1998 to replace my trusty Pentium 90 which was becoming really too slow for internet, games etc.
It had a Matrox Millenium G200 because it was the card to get at the time, along with a 3DFX Voodoo II. I played quite a lot of games on that system, but for some reason they don't stand out as much in my memory as the games I played in the early to mid nineties (which to me is the "golden era" of PC gaming!). Games I remember on this system were Pod, Quake II, Soldier of Fortune, Unreal... that's about it. I'm sure I played more but it seems they didn't make lasting memories.
edit: I actually forgot to add Might and Magic VI and VII and also Heroes of Might and Magic III, Quake III Arena to this list - I actually spent many hours playing these.
A few months ago I decided to resurrect the system and put all the parts into a spare Antec Sonata II case that I had. It is missing the front door but is in good condition otherwise.
Here are the current specs:
Pentium II-333 (locked multiplier)
Abit BX6 (Version 1)
128gb Ram
IBM DTLA 30Gb HDD
Memorex DVDMaxx 1648
Sound Blaster Live PCI CT4670
Matrox Millenium G200
3DFX Voodoo 2
Windows Millenium
Here it is playing Pod with an Interact ProPad 6 Gamepad - I just have two games installed on the system... POD and Rayman. I don't really use this PC often but I'm keeping it for the nostalgic value.
