Finished Deadlight in 6 hours, pretty short, can it be called a full game? I'm adding it to my list anyway. The graphics and atmosphere was pretty good, story ok, but at times the gameplay mechanics was making me rage. Don't think I've played a side scroller in years.

Still waiting to pick that one up, as I enjoyed 2033. And yes, I need Fallout Metro NOW.

Nice looking setup ya got there. Is that a U2410? Love mine. :happy: Try a 3 monitor setup if only for a short time. You can use SoftTH to span DX9 games across 3 monitors and they don't have to match at all. Almost all games will require tweaking and some will not work at all but when you get …

I still use XP, I know that Seven is supposed to be better, but......I've used it and I have to say that I like XP. I like the explorer better, I like the classic start menu, I like the classic theme, I like the control panel, I like not having search boxes. When running XP I feel like I'm in …

I have 6, but 2 are setups just for testing hardware so I don't have to break open my 2 pristine (main) retro rigs. Another is a PackardBell 486 I need to chunk, I don't think it's been turned on in 5 years. 😒

I dual boot on my main rig, but I rarely use XP. I've been using Win7 since the beta and never looked back. Win XP doesn't seem old to me yet (if your using SP3) as it's still pretty useable for modern applications isn't it?. Win98 on the other hand...

The SW expansion Wanton Destruction has been free for years now hasn't it? I remember downloading it but I still haven't took the time to play it.

The U2412m seems like a good deal, I paid $530 for my U2410 little over 3 years ago.

I use to feel like jwt27 a few years ago but after multiple CRTs dying, outrageous shipping on those big heavy bastards, I made the switch to LCD permanently. The only thing I miss is speed, but it's been replaced with size and image quality that has not diminished a bit in 3 years.

I've had a 1920x1200 IPS for a few years now and I'm thinking it's about time to bump up the resolution myself. Hell, they are making 10" tablets with the same resolution as my 24" monitor.

I have not heard anything positive about this console, and as far as I know so far no one is going to buy it. Until the next COD comes out and it's a no show for the 360??? Guess MS is banking on millions of gamers rage buying the One. 🤣
Re: VIRGE DX vs Matrox Millenium I
Posted on 2013-05-26, 13:25
I used to run a Matrox MGA Millenium, then a Matrox Mystique 220 but later switched to a Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 Pro and stuck with it. Just try both and pick your favorite. It's that simple.

Well what I don't get is: LCDs were more or less the only kind of display that you could buy for the PC in 2004 so why did they make it like this? And of course it's one of those things where you can't find any information on at all. Yeah I'd really like to have a bigger tube, my 20" viewable CRT …

Under XP and with a CRT i have absolutely no stuttering or lag with 2004, I've always had plenty of horsepower to play the game with, anything under 60fps I would adjust my visuals accordingly. Can't play the game game with a LCD at all, I get that stuttering and blurriness even under XP.

I'm 18 and I enjoy new and old FPS games, Unreal Tournament is probably my all time favorite, but Call of Duty is fun too. I like Unreal Tournament because I have never owned a PC that couldn't run it. Every version of Windows from 95 to 8 runs it great (even NT 3.51 works well with it). I used to …

Yo! I really enjoyed Redneck Rampage and Shadow Warrior. Blood was alight. If you haven't tried any of those shooters I recommend giving them a shot.

Lately I've been getting into older black and white shows like Twilight Zone & The Outer Limits and movies like Forbidden Planet. Even though I'm over 40 this media was before my time and is somewhat intriging and "new" if you will. I figure it's something like a younger person into retro gaming. …
