Re: Advice on a DOS System for 90+ Gaming

Posted on 2013-12-28, 00:39

I'm suppose I'm more focused on some DOS games that may be speed sensitive. I'd really like to stay away from DOSbox as well; Well then you may need to build different systems for each "spectrum" of games, unless you're focusing on Microprose games. I have a partial built 486/66 which, by turning …

I see. As far as music goes, how do you like 7.1 music, by the way? I always wonder, some people seem to hate it. The music is ok, when upmixed. Sometimes, you feel like you're in a studio, with surrounded instruments. Sometimes, you can hear certain instruments separated out to certain speakers, …

Interesting. Unfortunately I don't understand the language. Could you elaborate? The text is not that interesting anyway, just details how to build these cones. I see. The first picture says it all: here, the mid-range speaker and tweeter are mounted in a closed box and positioned below and above …

Microprose brought the so called hardcore simulations to the DOS gaming scene. Most of these games can be safely regarded as NOT games, but true simulations. That was how serious Microprose was in bringing out the simulations. And then there was Spectrum Holobyte with it's flagship Falcon 3.0. Has …

All, I have a few different systems built for vintage gaming, however nothing that is 386/486/Pentium 1. I have a P3 for Win9x/late DOS titles, but I've recently found myself curious with some early to mid 90's games such as: F-117A Stealth Fighter Nighthawk Strike Fighter Mechwarrior 2 (should be …

I've been thinking of building my own speakers for a long time... If I ever get around to that, I would either build dipoles or some other unusual setup like this . I think this design comes pretty close to a true point-source speaker. Interesting. Unfortunately I don't understand the language. …

These are the first Logitech speakers I have ever owned. I admit I neglected the speaker choice a bit because I was more concerned about CPU, GPU and other bits and pieces :) I'm not a huge fan of over the top bass at all. I keep the knob on these Logitech at about 1/2 to 1/3. It can really shake …

... Turned out that pulling your stick to the extreme puts you in a stall, and it's hard to recover from stall that I ended up crashing to the ground ... ... Turned out it's very hard to hit enemy aircraft with your bullets, despite it's flying straight without evasive maneuvers whatsoever . Then I …

Your such an audiophille Kreshna :) Thanks. :) It's kinda funny though; audio was actually one of my early hobbies. When I was kid, dad donated me one of his previous systems - a Marantz integrated amp and a pair of vintage speakers - then taught me quite a lot about audio. One of my favorite …

While we're at it.... Do we really need super-realistic physics and flight model? The reason I'm still playing DOS sims is that they're more accessible - and arguably more fun than today's flight sims. Yes, I know IL-2 Sturmovik is highly praises by hardcore flightsimmers and critics alike, but to …

Gunship 2000. What other helo sim allows you to mix and match Apaches, Supercobras, Blackhawks, Defenders, and Kiowas in a flight? Even Jane's Longbow 2 only gives you three different helicopters. Their Finest Hour and Secret Weapons Of The Luftwaffe . Exciting, action-oriented "flight model", …

I'm using the Logitech Z623 Speakers 2.1 THX Certified on my new computer. Built for quality and they really sound great. Extremely bass heavy but it will never compare to a modest 5.1 setup with a good quality receiver. Do you mostly listen to music or watch movie? I have a home theatre setup for …
