Hey, this is my first post here 😀
Screamer 2 was always one of my favourite games - I remember playing it when I had Pentium 120MHz with 64MB of RAM in the middle of 90's. There are 4 modes - low res - low color, hi res - low color, low res high color and hi res high color. Back then I remeber playing hi res - low color with no problems.
My current setup for it is: Asus P5A, Pentium 200MMX, 256MB RAM, GF 2 MX400, ISA ESS 1869 (but playing with no sound now)
Running boot into DOS from Windows 98 with extended memory option
And now hi res - low color is unplayable - quite low fps.
I've tried also windows game Sega Rally Championship - despite low requirements, it's also pretty slow.
I checked on AMD K6-2 350MHz and was fine, even able to run Screamer 2 in high res - high color (FPS not great though) -> so CPU does make a difference.
Unfortunately I don't have much time to play with my old computer stuff, so want to narrow down what to check - do you have any suggestions? I'm thinking of running benchmarks and compare to similar machines + remove all no used pci/isa cards.
