My Xp system (listed in my signature) cost me under 200 bucks total but of course it's housed in a much cheaper case. It runs games from 1999 to 2006ish ok plus does just fine with Dosbox. Sampling of games: Motorcross Madnesss 2, NCAA Football 99, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Serious Sam 1/2, Doom …

Never done this before so was wondering if it's pretty straightforward or not. Why don't you try it and find out..? Do I first disable the 32pnp card in windows 98 and then install the Live? That should not be necessary. How will this affect the 32pnp in DOS if at all? The cards should end up on …

Slave Zero: game acts like it's going to start but reverts back to desktop. I deleted nglide & 3dfx files as instructed but makes no diff. The error log says something about a missing "wad" file. Omikron: this one I didn't tinker with too much yet. Pretty sure it gave the usual error expecting a …

I've found you can't load brutal doom and Hexen/Heretic pk3 mod files at the same time in ZDL. So if you want to play Hexen for instance stick to loading hexen Pk3 files only.

In 1990 got a job doing CAD (computer assisted drafting) work involving sheet metal layouts and rotary type machine assemblies. Remember the computers were Sun systems networked to a mainframe. Don't remember the CAD program, think it ran on Solaris OS.

Maybe should start on another post but anyways I was thinking about getting some wired headphones and wanted to see what some of you might recommend. My price range would be about 100-150 bucks, I'm not an audiophile so doesn't have to check every box. A mic isn't a big deal to me either, any ideas …

Yeah, it had one layer of bubble wrap around it and it must have gotten compressed end to end. That little curved sliver of glass appears to be part of …
