There is also NEC PCX1 if you want to be exotic and try something different than 3dfx and still be a pure 1996 machine.

Hello Vogons I have bought "the cat in the sack" seller stated that the card suddenly had stopped working, but was still able to be detected in device manager and had evidence of this. That's all well and good, I bought many "supposedly not working" 3dfx cards, so diden't think much of it. Until it …

I think that Monkey Island EGA and Loom EGA are possibly the nicest 16-colors games on a PC. Also, the boxed Banshee arrived and strangely enough that weird box is actually indeed the card's very own box :cool: https://i.postimg.cc/ydbhM4mT/Gigabyte-GA-630-Box-01.jpg Now I have 3 of each Voodoo 1, …

On closer inspection, I noticed a scratch on the stock one, near the AGP interface, I checked for continuity and if there was a short. I could not detect one, but I can't measure where the connection terminates. Or rather I don't know where or how to measure if there is a solid connection. Press in …

Matrox Mystrique 2 MB + 2 MB expansion, unfortunately no box, but software is new. Nice, I own exactly that card as well (2 MB + 2 MB expansion) and the software, but also no box. Your copy of Mechwarrior 2 however seems incomplete, as it should come in a Jewel Case with inlays, not loose. Ahh I …

Hello Vogons I have recently bought this lovely Sound Blaster 16 box from 1993. Problem is, the card itself was lost in time and now I need to find a replacement. But I would like it too be the accurate one. Some pictures for the ID process: https://i.ibb.co/XVb8rQn/1.jpg https://i.ibb.co/ZWxfkj4/2. …
