I recently bought a 286 from marketplace (and it works awesome!
Its got 640 kb of ram and (i assume) runs at 4.77 Mhz.

It has a hard-drive which was added in in the late 80s, and has a bunch of games like Double dragon, alley cat, digger, and panko (ect…) as well as some nice print software.
It runs them in color, although i have a B&W monitor (not original)

I just wanted to know what sort of games can run on this machine (and what are your favourites)
I’m also thinking of getting WASTELAND (1988) for the computer, let me know if that may or may not be a bit kooky.

I may also need a bit of advice on how to BBS on it, and how to make (or where to buy a wifi serial modem.

Thanks for reading 😀
