Back in the early days, the professional grade cards and the consumer grade cards used the same hardware. They differed only in the BIOS and drivers. Professional grade cards were optimized with color and pixel placement accuracy in mind while consumer grade cards were optimized more towards high …

Does the PS4 even have any exclusives? I think there's a new Killzone and God of War and a few others that will be released either at launch or shortly after. So in other words, franchises I don't care about. XD You can Google for a more comprehensive list of all the PS4/XBox One exclusives as …

How about the ability to mark a thread with new posts in it as "read" even though you may not really be interested in going into the thread and reading it?

I found a Number Nine Revolution IV 32mb AGP card for a reasonable price. This is the card made especially for the SGI 1600SW and it is hard to find these cards cheaply. Now nothing stands in the way of getting a 1600SW as soon as one comes along cheaply enough and doesn't cost $100 to ship.

The last V8 Duo I saw for sale on ebay was an ES and had no cooling fans installed. IIRC, it wasn't even functional, either. That didn't stop the seller from wanting a lot of money for it, though.

LoL! I'm glad I wasn't one of those idiots who paid thousands for a PS4 on ebay. Doh! I never understood how desperate someone can possibly be that they would spend $2000 on a $400 game console just to have it on launch day. Is it REALLY that important?

How would you make it "better" ? Its graphics were not what drew criticism. The topic of the thread is "What old game would you like to see remade".

The best emulator? No emulator--just buy one and hook it up! Lots of retro fun doing it this way. :cool: Some people don't have the space to do that and prices on old Commodore hardware keep going up so it can be a budget buster for some. Have you priced a Commodore 128D lately? They go for more …

Hmmm...I was just thinking, updated versions of Dragon's Lair and Space Ace in true 3D might be cool. They did that already with Dragon's Lair. It didn't go over very well, so presumably Space Ace will not be forthcoming. Yeah but look at how old Dragon's Lair 3D is. They can do a lot better now.

How about all the old gold box D&D series either made into FPS or 3rd person. The only problem with that is that you're talking about a beloved franchise and it would be so easy to screw it up. I would rather see those games not remade at all than to see them remade badly. Whenever I hear about …
