Over the years i always had a problem, finding opinions on the performance of old and mildly obscure PC games played on old hardware, there's hardly a place where you can find all the main info need to understand if the game is slow because it's badly optimized or if it's your machine that has a problem, this happened multiple times (deus ex i'm looking at you...)
So i said to myself "Damn it, i have all these old PCs, i stream with them and usually cycle through them all while also archiving the video gameplay, let me put my opinions on paper..."
I have been thinking to do this for a year but i wanted to come back streaming but i also never wanted to do anything too technical (hence the title) so i thought of putting down my thoughts like most reviewers did back at the time on italian magazines (TGM, GMC etc.) which means explaining how the performance felt and while available also add informations about basic framerate etc.
Hopefully this can be useful and maybe fun and if i can improve on something let me know.

The first game added is Project I.G.I, at the end of it i can say that I.G.I stands for Insane Game Imbalance.
The second game is Mafia, nice game, a bit worse than i remembered but still a good game after all those years.
Current game being played: ???
