Re: Unreal 1 - What is your opinion about it?

Great game. The single player campaign is a little too long , but I enjoy its ambience, as well as the exploration and puzzle mechanics. Most guns serve a purpose and I think the whole secondary fire idea was rather innovative. Storytelling and guiding the player through messages scattered across …

Re: Retro Consoles.... who plays them

I have a March 2000 PS2 SCPH-10000 I bought brand new together with the external HDD released later in mid 2001 and the infamous vertical stand that can accomodate both. I treated myself to a gift after I graduated past year because I love the sober design of the PS2 and I wanted to own a piece of …

Re: Is the interest in retro PC hardware is decreasing?

Yes, and there are a few immutable factors contributing to that.... 1. Old PC hardware availability (CPU/mobo/complete vintage systems/whatever)has decreased significantly, while old PC software remains easily available or grows steadily. What's around may be functional to some degree or going bad/ …

Re: The Internet Archive has been hacked

Rawit wrote on 2024-10-10, 07:24: My old deleted account is included in the hack as well as my current (recent) one. Just be aware if you ever had an account the credentials might be out there now. Couldn't even reset my password 'cause it got offline before I even received my password reset mail. …

Re: Help - Voodoo 2 SLI performance

I guess it's the test I'm running that is not very representative? Perhaps those Software T&L optimizations are hurting? That wouldn't matter. There's not a single Voodoo in the world with hardware T&L. Another thing to keep in mind about SLI is that the texture thrashing penalties are worse, so …

Re: Best cpu for Voodoo Banshee

stamasd wrote on 2024-09-30, 18:39: My Banshee runs... well not at all because I can't remember in which storage box I put it. 😜 But when I was testing it, it was with a P2-400 and I was not impressed. Not surprised, though! For all intents and purposes, it's a slower Voodoo3 with a single TMU and …

Re: Long term forum members - why did you leave?

IMO, once you've built a finite amount of systems from around the time periods you cherish the most, and tinkered around with the hardware setups that can offer you the experience you wanted (and such for games) there are only so many new developments or fresh 'unexplored' areas that this hobby can …

Re: Is the interest in retro PC hardware decreasing?

well, they're the phil cards. with enough seo and algo, you can turn trash into desirable. Wait until someone develops a fixation on CentaurHauls to make every WinChip an underdog along with outrageously rare Windows Sound System cards from AWARD-WINNING PRESTIGEOUS GAMER HEADSET MAKER Turtle Beach …

Re: Is the interest in retro PC hardware decreasing?

In my case, the reason is likely that I don't find tinkering around with hardware as fun as I used to and this is one of the reasons I got into VOGONS around 13 years ago. I also started to look down on the ever increasing stupidity of people who are into this hobby for either money or a fix to …

Re: Where is the rest of the world?

I know what you mean when you mention the eye roll worthy statement on the OP's part but I guess he meant to say western allied nations. Yes, I was fully aware of that. The fact is that japans computers while somewhat obscure do have some level of coverage and blogs written about them. Im sure …
