I found a free junk 386 in 2019. It is a freebie as most of my computer stuff and it's performance is ok for me. It is kind of old machine and it's use is very, very limited. See bottom: like neat 486 games won't work on it: Doom, OneMustFall,...
Specs:
- Am386 33Mhz.(AMD)
- Ram 8mb.(8x1MB)
- Trident 8900C 1mb.(mfg.1991)
- ES1869F PnP Sound card.(mfg.1995-96)
- I/O card made in Hong Kong.(mfg.1991)
- Microsoft mouse serial.(Ireland made)
- IBM KB9910 keyboard with adapter PS2/5-pin DIN.
(- Been trying to make CD-drives to work on the sound card's IDE connector. Not succeeding yet.)
The only games around 15pcs I like that play on it without lagging:
- Best of windows entertainment pack (Win 3.1)
- Test Drive 3.
- Stunts.
- Stunt car racer.
- Lotus 3 Ultimate Challenge.
- Jazz Jackrabbit 1.
- Wolfenstein 3D.
- Wacky wheels.
- BC Racers.
- Ford simulator 3.
- Duke Nukem 2.
- Warcraft 1.
- Street rod 2.
- Knights of Xentar.
- Cobra Mission.
(- Early Simcity.)
(- Curse of Enchantia.)
The 386 as a computer for me is a bit "too slow machine" because I want to play more games than this list.
- 386 Gaming is stuck between NES and SNES. It is not as good as SNES.
Genuine SNES Classic Mini(HDMI) is still being sold. I can recommend it if you know how to flash it and add games to it. (It is easy and lots of guides online.) It gives a good and authentic feeling of early 1990s games.
- Just don't play SNES's Doom. Because it lags even while being an original genuine SNES game(or ROM).
