It won't be long until the rest of the world follows China's example of internet censorship, already has my isp blocked several sites and I am supposed to live in a socalled free western democracy.

Need for Speed II SE, when I bought it I played it in software mode but when the menu was idle for a while it started a video showing how the game looked in 3Dfx, two weeks later I had my Diamond Monster 3D. 😁

I found out that the music of most games work if the CD is in the 1st optical drive, that also means first if it is a virtual optical drive. That way I got the music of Battlezone, TDR 2000, Jedi Knight and a bunch of others working, some still refuse to work though. 🙁

3Dfx rocks! Nice article, brings back memories. If they were still made today I would still buy them over stinking AMD/Ati and Nvidia's. :D By the way it was one of the most brutal takeovers I have ever seen, once Nvidia tookover 3Dfx they just vanished, no conitinued driver support, no consumer …

Need some advice which virtualization to choose for Windows 98 guest OS
Posted on 2012-06-02, 20:26
Hi, Can someone please help me with which program I must choose to install Windows 98 on? So far I found Virtual PC, VMware and Virtualbox, maybe there are more I don't know of. I need Windows 98 because I want to play some of my old games: Flying Corps Gold, Su27 and a load of others I can't get …

Independence War 2, if you like openworld (or rather openspace) spacesimulators. Though it has a few bugs it still is the best game in its genre I have played and is still modded if you want to extend playing it. Strangely most people don't like this game, I think it is because it isn't your typical …
Re: NFS2SE: Is it just me or is the Monolithic track unfair?
Posted on 2012-05-26, 21:28
As I recall the Monolithic track is a bonustrack, so maybe the AI wasn't thoroughly playtested and tweaked. Recently I played NFS 4, but racing with rain or snow ruined a perfectly good game for me. On some tracks you have to take hairpins, which means in that game that I have to get out of the car …

Re: Help! Very strange shutdown problem
Posted on 2012-03-26, 16:10
Hi, I am totally unfamiliar with your board, but have you tried upgrading the bios, if you haven't got the latest one that is. Also if I remember correctly, Windows 95 and 98 didn't shut down by themselves, when you terminated windows you got a screen saying you can turn off the computer.

Hi and welcome, :) Like they said use DosBox to play all the dos related games. It is the best ms-dos emulator around and it can play pretty much anything. I recommend to run the intro (just type "intro" in DosBox) and read all the information carefully since you have to assign (mount) driveletters …
Re: Does GeForce have better backward compatibility than Radeon?

Bump A few months ago I upgraded from an Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT to a AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6770 and I gradually start installing and playing old Direct3D games that didn't work or with impaired graphics with the GeForce card. So far I have to say that Radeon compares slightly favourable in terms of …
