I also really don't like RPG shooters, there's nothing like shooting someone in the head 3 times before they die, call me weird but even if you are running an pen and paper kind of RPG a headshot is a headshot... Agreed. If there is one thing that differentiates the best era of gaming (90s) from …

s370 is my favorite build, but I have never built a slot-1 system even once.

Finished Doom2 for the first time...with the 2 secret levels for the firs time too. Might do a speed/secret run through one day...but not today. Started playing "I have no Mouth and I must Scream" on this same PC because I wanted to find something adventury from 95 with Midi music.

Anyone else tried it? I thought it was OK, still doesn't have the same feel as the true oldskool shooters despite the pixel art and sprites.

Re: TNDLPT : Tandy Sound on parallel port

I believe it can. It has a volume thumb wheel that controls the output volume. Is there a way to power on the TNDLPT without a Mini USB cable? I'm out of those and my surge protector is out of space for more plugs. I am planning on using the mobo usb port. Will that work or are they not powered …

Definitely better than the dreaded PC Speaker music for older Sierra On-Line games that supported either the PC Speaker or Tandy 3-voice. Got one myself (haven't installed yet as I ran out of Mini USB cables and power bricks). Does anyone know if the output of this plug can be fed to line-in on …

That is one of the coolest things I have seen in a long while. I was really surprised by the sound! And it gets even better! :-D There's a little TSR driver which can provide Tandy 3-voice and Sound Source support. So you can enjoy these catchy tunes on your self-made Covox plug. Sound quality is …
