Re: What game are you playing now?

I've only delved an hour or two into Hand of Fate so far. It's one I'm going to revisit in the future when I have time, as what I saw was really cool. More quirky and creative than the Sierra games, along with a certain painstakingly hand-drawn and hand-composed aesthetic which pretty much tops …

Legend of Kyrandia (1) first game I play for real on my first retro machine ss7. Short review so far with grown up eyes, acting is quite bad, music is pretty bad (better with mt-32 maybe?), graphics are fine, story good and gameplay very nice. Puzzles are not as stupid as monkey Island. I just got …

I started wondering about this the other day when my brother said he was playing Warcraft 3 at the moment. I like Warcraft 1 and 2 but even back in 2002 something about Warcraft3 just didn't grab me and lost interest in the franchise as a whole. My top 3 series are (as in owning titles) C&C/RA. I …

I stopped playing MMOs when free to play became a thing. Horrible kids ruining potentially good games. Oh and they are all mostly pay to win anyway. ( So are most free games.) But I it's a good thing cause I am no longer addicted. Or rather I'm a sober addict cause I did have a relapse on Lineage 2 …

CD-ROM daisy chaining

Posted on 2021-04-27, 14:23

So I was going to try out some DOS games on CDROM and looking for TEAC drivers. Reading the information on vogondrivers for the TEAC CD532E I have, it strongly recommends from daisy chaining the CDROM and hard drive. I have indeed done that because I only have one long IDE cable at the moment. I …

Re: Windows 98se turned into Me

I installed nusb 3.3 instead. Me is finally gone! Also there seems to be some issue with the realtech NIC installation, because even now without the windows Me flag, the installation halts. So I kinda wasted 4 hours on making the system show the correct OS. Time we'll spent! 😁

Windows 98se turned into Me

Posted on 2021-04-21, 17:57

So I was going to install my network card driver but the installation said my OS was not supported. I went into the system properties and lo and behold it it's true! IMG_20210421_195009.jpg I was mocking about with different Nvidia drivers the other day and maybe something happened.. Or it might be …

Re: Determining how much to spend on this hobby

I can relate to the "getting a good deal nonetheless"-feeling when clicking buy on something you really don't need. You can make good purchases but it is not "worth it" if you are not willing to sell the parts. Then it is just a time consumer, which is ok, but I only have so much time (and space).

I mostly go for good deals, even though I might have spent a little too much for an old k6-2+ the other day. But if you really want one I don't see the difference from buying a nice bottle of wine or something. When it comes to parts will eventually break, personally I'm mostly worried about CRTs, …

Hey So I was firing up Kings Quest 6 in windows 98 and realised it was not stable in 800x600 without a patch from sierrahelp.com.After installing it the game no longer crashed after running the welcome screen, splendid! Less splendit was the fact that the background is totally black. This, I fixed …
