A while back I got almost pristine copies of both The Legend of Kyrandia and Hand of Fate (floppy versions). Still need to get the third one to complete the trilogy. For some reason I never played them back in the day despite being a massive adventure game enthusiast and seeing the game mentioned …

I've found porn that scarred me for life on some hard drives. Other than that, there was never anything that made me lose my shit. One of these days I hope to buy a cheap AT box and find a GUS or LAPC-I or something like that inside, but never happened.

Hand of Fate is one of my favorite adventure games of all time but you really need to be able to get into its over the top fairy-tale logic mindset to enjoy the puzzles and the humor. To each their own, but for me it is one of the best games I ever played..

I got these parts for next to nothing thanks to some lucky best offers getting accepted. ATI 3D Charger.jpg First up is an ATI Charger PCI; I just like adding PCI Video Cards to my collection, and if they have S-Video out I am even happier. S-Video is a pretty cheap way of capturing DOS output for …

This is my Pentium-133 PC I built for 1993-1995 games. I eventually got a Pentium-133 in 1997, but never owned a Voodoo 1 and made do with a Sound Blaster 16. The small black plastic panel on top left slides to reveal the keylock hole and there is also a red 3 digit MHz display underneath it.
