What games would you play on this bad boy?
>>737173704Ultima VII
Scars of Summer
>>737173704Xcom, but it would run super fast because the game speed was dependant upon the CD-Drive speed.
There's literally 0 reason to own a "retro PC" if you're not a collector. You can play all the old games on your current setup. Old games often didn't even work without patches.>But Win98Windows or Linux with 9x theme and disabled AA for text>but DOSDosbox-x or Staging
>>737173704I can't tell you if you don't give me the specs
If I have to play something that that would probably be NetHack, maybe The Ur-Quan Masters (Star Control 2), Heroes of Might and Magic 3, etc.That being said, my current setup is better so why would I? Like, I could contemplate e.g. installing some early-2000s Linux distribution (I'm guessing from 48x CD d rive it's circa 2000), OS/2 or Plan 9 to (re)acquaint myself with how those systems worked with contemporary devices (how long it takes to install from disks, that sort of thing) and maybe in course of that exploration also launch a game or two, but I can already play at least 99.99% of games of that era.
>>737173704Flash games that my parents are convinced are slowing down the computer. (they are correct because java is bloated garbage with privilege creep)
nesticle + a rom pack
>>737175213>emulation
>>737176613>Higher quality gaming with less pain is bad because...
>>737173704diablo 2
>>737173704Homm2, NFS2SE, Diablo2, Starcraft, AvP2
>>737176706>it looks and (kinda) tastes just like beef, man. Why are you complaining?
tiberian sunjust so i could make theseand maybe a few titans
>>737173704Transport Tycoon
>>737173704>What games would you play on this bad boy?Last of Us Part 2
>>737177273Man I loved Tiberian Sun>Can't wait for next game, logically called Tiberian Twilight>Next game is called Tiberian WarsSon of a bitch
>>737175213but I like using them
>>737173704>fuck yeah computer class>learn some dos commands>Alright kids, now you can play some games>start with Simcity, then Lemmings, finish it with some Isle of dr. Brain
>>737175213Not OP, but what's so hard to understand?It's not about the convenience or practicality, we just want to experience old games the way we remember them.
>>737177151>NFS2SEMy nigga
>>737173704
>>737173704RCT2 and Carmageddon
>>737173704Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game
>>737177429How? I don't think you could even stream it from a more powerful PC given how old the network adapter is.
>>737175213Glide emulation is soulless
>>737177512Because what most people remember are the games, the OS aesthetic and mood (things you can emulate), not the 30mins long tinkering to make shit work. Also because a lot of people think they need old PCs for old games.
>>737173704Carmageddon 2Fallout 1&2WizardryHeroes 3GTA 2Unreal Tournament
>no sound in game>go tinker with the settings>sound in game!
>>737177839>CarmageddonBased>2No
>>737177836>aesthetic and mood (things you can emulate)imagine being this much of a hylic
>>737177836You don't *need* it, but it adds to the experience, we're not rational creatures after all. >not the 30mins long tinkering to make shit workI doubt there are a lot of people here who actually had to deal with the audio card jank, DirectX practically solved these problems.
>>737175213>I don't want one, so there's no reason to have one!I don't want one either but try to be less autistic.
play might be a bit of a stretch unless you are a VN foolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVN-2UTf7vo
>>737176613In cases like sega saturn etc yes.But PCs were always a hodgepodge of different components.If anything, something like dosbox or 86box have more chance of running games than a real machine.
>>737173704Fallout 1
>>737173704UT99 if it's a pentium machine, Lucasarts stuff if it's a 486
>>737173905It's your CPUs clock speed that affects how fast the game runs, because programmers tied the game logic to it.
>>737179278Xcom was one of those games where the drive speed would affect the core game calculations itself. It wasn't core speed. Both my mate and I had the same cores but he had an 8x speed drive and the game ran at super speed for him but not me.
a classico

>>737175213What if you already own it and just want to use it? Sure it's more straightforward to just install whatever on my current setup but why let it collect dust if it still works>Linux with 9x theme and disabled AA for textI do this
>>737173704Microman
>>737180236Objectively it still gives worse experience than nu tech for old games. I often watch this Dosgamert guy and half the games he tries on old setup don't work.
>>737180730Skill issueif something gives me issues on my old rig and it's a compatibility thing meaning I can't patch it to work I just install it on my main one
>>737173704That machine is for work, not games.
