NFSIII doesn't really strike to me as something where a steering wheel would help, maybe it's making things harder for you even if using it is fun. Could be, NFSIII is pedal to the metal 99% of the time, so a keyboard is more than adequate to win I guess. Still, I'm hell-bent on beating it with a ( …

Re: Best Core 2 chipset?

Have a Asus P5QL P41 with CoreDuo E8400 Geforce 9700. Is rock solid XP/7 machine for 15 years. Will really be depressed, if it will break someday. Hope it serves you long and well. My Core 2 system went through two P5Q PROs, and is currently on a low-end Gigabyte G41 board, just to work, sort of. I …

That's an interesting story. Thanks for sharing! I suppose I would also leave Windows 7 behind if my last PC running it broke. That desktop is still up and running, although currently with a temporary motherboard as the original P5Q PRO is currently dead . I also have a Thinkpad X220 laptop dual- …

No point in running Vista these days. Either XP or Win7. Vista is a lady, a queen. And she's majestic, has grace. 👑 .. and by SP2, she's almost as capable as Windows 7. She has support for DX11, as well, with the Platform Update. You're preaching to the choir here... I ran Vista all the way until …

just finished Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness Orcs, Humans or both? Are you going to play the expansion (Beyond the Dark Portal)? Now my hands are almost itching to start on the Price of Loyalty expansion campaigns immediately, but I know I probably need a break from the game. So I took a couple of …

I own Virtual Snooker in the big box as well, I'm surprised it got a US release tbh since Snooker is virtually unheard of here. I think that's one of the reasons the game got slightly lower ratings than Virtual Pool, even though it's essentially exactly the same engine. More fans of 8-ball/9-ball …

these seem to be not only complete but exceptionally good condition and from your description they appear to be pretty good games, a nice find! Thank you! Yes, you are correct on both counts. I'm contemplating doing a mini-review of the two on my blog site. Or a thorough one, depending on how much …

Re: Windows 95 DOS Mode drivers

@jakethompson1 Thank you for your great explanation. The ISAPNP difference was news to me. I guess I never experimented enough with "Restart to MS-DOS mode" to understand it back in the day. Thank you. The goal was to use this machine like one with DOS+Win 3.11,setting up DOS 7.1 and using Windows …

Here's a show and tell I've contemplated for a while. Virtual Pool and Virtual Snooker Not very well-known games from the mid-nineties, developed by Celeris and published by Interplay. It is almost the same game, as the physics, game engine and UI are essentially identical; the only difference is …

Re: Retro Rig Photo Thread

3.2GB Quantum Fireball (including very high pitched spinning sound) I had one of those at one point. Don't remember its spinning sound, but I doubt it can be louder than the IBM Deskstar 80GB that is currently in my oldest retro system (SS7 with K6-II+). I loved the Fireball name, though, and even …
