Several off the top of my mind that aren't released ANYWHERE, AvP2 + the expansion I'd gladly replay AvP2, it was huge fun back in the early 2000s. Absolutely no idea why it is not sold anywhere. I'd say it's one of the best FPS games of its time, at least for the single player part (no idea about …

I have nearly 300 big box PC games (going to downsize a hefty portion that I don't really play soon), and I am extremely anal about everything regarding them. Anything that came with the box a long time ago, including shrinkwrap, price stickers, ancient printed supplements, receipts all stay in the …

By far, the best era for DOS/Windows games was 1993-2006 in terms of quality. I have tons of physical DOS games from before then and from the 1980s that are good, but pre-1990 DOS games (except maybe Stunts, Test Drive, etc.) aren't as playable. Though regarding Amiga, pretty much all Amiga games …

Only mistake was a couple years ago. I was trying to restore a Fujitsu Lifebook C352 that I had that would not boot to a prompt at all despite multiple efforts and multiple repairs. Was taking it apart and I got to the small cable connecting the fan to the mobo, yanked it out too hard and it broke …

I bought a machine with a Voodoo3 in it a couple years ago, unfortunately for now I do not have enough room or time to set it up due to being in college/living in a dorm, but I will play the crap out of it once I got an actual place set up and once I stop being nomadic

I am a purist when it comes to getting parts for my old systems, but in a last ditch effort, I would simply just buy new parts to replace them. A lot of people are starting to make new parts for old systems nowadays, especially stuff for Amiga/early DOS

Tyrian 2000 is absolute bullshit hard to find, I'm looking for that one too, and original Tyrian was only released in a big box overseas. You know what's funny is that I actually saw a US big box Tyrian 2000 in a lot with a bunch of other heavy hitter (e.g. usually expensive) big box PC games that …

there's a lot of interesting Steam games now that there's little to no regulation on what a game dev or a "game dev" can release but relating to the main gist of this forum, there are interesting older games like Redline, Shogo, Blood II, etc. that Steam just has out to purchase, but you have to …
