Try submitting an obvious mistake/wrong info correction... Good luck with it. Mobygames, although there's no better alternative, is becoming cumbersome and inconsistent.

... or (complementing on the pass-through cable) instead of a VGA extension cable if you prefer something shorter get a VGA splitter and only connect 2/3 ends -but don't cut the extra one Filename Untitled.png File size 25.35 KiB Views 631 views

I replaced the apparently noname (Stone brand) bulging 330uF 25V capacitors (5 in total) on a GA-BX2000 board with the most conveniently available noname (Rec brand) 330uF 25V capacitors. Only once the deed was done did I realize I replaced 105C rated caps with 85C rated ones. Tell me Vogons will …

Although GoblinUpTheRoad's "early 90s" hint is very accurate, this is actually a 1989 release. Just mentioning it not to confuse "researchers" seeking in the 90s 🤣

This just means that 390 will be the last version to install on a 32 bit OS. I believe it won't cause any trouble to most users though. It's not probable that someone who buys a brand new gtx2000 in the future will want to install it on a PC with <4gb ram and a 32bit OS anf the other way around, …

Speaking about the original game on real hardware, it certainly does. I don't know about gog's version or dosbox though.

Yes - speaking as a mod: one forum member had openly stated that they were going to blank all their informative posts ever in protest, and was inciting other people to follow suit. When this forum member started actually doing this, action was taken. Rather extreme, I know. Editing has been locked, …

Ah, a favorite topic. The joys :lol: of early PC gaming. Just throwing in some names, mostly attempted arcade conversions and probably screwing up some dates. It's not until 1987-88 that much more descent games/true classics appear for the PC, but I didn't go past 1986. Zaxxon (1984) Xonix (1984) …
