Everyone is going to prefer the version that they played the first time they played it. If you were an Apple guy, you'll prefer the Apple version, if you were a Commodore or Atari, guy then those will be the versions you remember the most and will want to play again.

Some people post things for sale at insane prices in the hopes that someone won't know any better and buy it at that price, like the ones who keep posting the same Voodoo3 3000 PCI cards for $75.00 over and over while I buy the ones that sell for $10. 😁.

I've seen this kind of discussion before. One that comes to mind is about the dropping of regular PCI slots on modern motherboards and the reactions are generally the same: -Either one mentions it will mean a vast reduction in compatibility due to the large numbers of PCI cards still being used. - …

So scummvm, exult, pentagram, nuvie, xu4 etc. are a waste? You taking up digital space here is a waste If they didn't bring anything new to the table that no other emulator or VM was already capable of at the time they were released, then yes, they are a waste. I do know, however, that scummvm …

How can it be considered a "port" when the original CD Because that would be illegal and it's good that it requires the cd and original files. Some 'ports' don't even bother and include them anyway, irresponsibly. Like that Z one, that Dune II one,... which is probably what you believe are the only …

How can it be considered a "port" when the original CD is required?. Because porting has nothing to do with all the media assets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porting You can already run it like I said, either in compatibility mode or if not that then in a VM running it's native OS. That's the …

it doesn't say it upgrades it in any way. There's nothing wrong with purist-bound ports. You probably will be extremely offended by the existence of this , then. I'm just saying that with VM's that are capable of running older games there is no point in porting them to newer OS's unless you're …
