It is 60 ish levels and it can get repetitive, but I mostly enjoyed it. I plan to install and play Spear of Destiny, but I also have the itch to finish some other games that are similar, such as blake stone and rise of the triad.

Tik-Tok……..I think Short clips are the Future of Retro computer channels. People are busy and don’t have time to watch a documentary about a retro computer product.

Recently, I get the feeling that many YouTubers end up "chasing the algorithm" instead of simply making good content. Got to tick all of those boxes for maximum engagement! And worst of all, YouTube keeps rewarding this behavior. As others have mentioned before, some of the best content comes from …

Hi all, here's my PC. It's not the fastest PC of 1998, but it might have been the fastest in February 1998, exactly when the Voodoo 2 was released. ... Otherwise, I am pleased with this PC, and have no reason to upgrade. definitely a nice set up! i like the 'multi media computer system' badge too! …

Yeah I'm happy enough with Dosbox for DOS. Mainly I'm looking at it for flight sims from the 95/98 era (so second half of the 90's) which don't work well or at all on XP or newer. That's why I'm quite chuffed about the 3dfx card for JSF, Janes F-15 etc. More MHz is generally good for these sims. I …

I remember enjoying this game when it came out, but its been to long for me to give any specific impressions about it.

Get with the times. A stunningly-ironic thing to say on this website. i suspect a minor joke on repeat :) in any case, i don't mind the AI thumbnails but would prefer photo + relevant text, otherwise there is a generic almost corporate look to it it's the least of concerns though, content matters …
