Mind you I'm running them through the factory DOS prompt on Windows 95 on my Pentium II MMX 233MHz laptop. I don't know what to put the main subject as, but I'm not having fun trying to get System Shock and Ultimate Doom to run on my laptop. The disks are factory and complete in their respective …

I finally got my hands on a Windows 95 laptop, and I want to make gameplay videos with it. I've seen people benchmark old computers and such with screen recording software, and I want to know how to do this, and what software they did it with. How do I do so?

In my garage, alongside a WordPerfect 4.0 box and some early Windows 3.1 stuff, I found this other stuff. Problem is that I have no idea what computer it could've belonged to. Never found any remnants of a computer in the garage, and I don't remember it at all either, so my parents probably threw it …

I've seen a lot of them on eBay, and I've heard good things about the Sun Microsystems computers from the 90s, but I have no idea how they run. Anyone know if they're any good?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2v7k-wAm2E Yeah, I saw this video, it's pretty informative, but I've noticed that since it was made the prices of a lot of the mentioned laptops went WAY up (on eBay), I'm just trying to find something obscure at this point that can play my old DOS games for a good …

The Libretto series is ultra portable but also the demand is high for these machines, ergo the price is way too high. Really? They pop up for $80 - 150 on eBay from time to time... Yep, as I said, way too overpriced. Other more capable Toshiba's like Satellite Pros or Tecras go for 20 bucks. Where …

Anything that has a TFT panel without quirks is what you want - Portege and Satellite Pro were similarly priced, but I'd go a Satellite Pro for more rugged case design and expansion options. Also, check out the Libretto if you want something small you can just keep on any desk and plug a monitor …

I'm settled on the CDT/CT series Toshiba laptops for a DOS gaming laptop, but I just want to know which one is better. Personally I like the Portege because the screen's large, along with the laptop itself. I like bulkier laptops. Which one is the best Toshiba laptop?

Tried to buy an old ThinkPad, turns out they didn't have it, and now I'm mad because I only got $12 on my Visa Vanilla card. I just want something to play my DOS and Win95/98 games on, anything made before 2000-2001 with a TFT screen will do. Can't find jack on eBay because everyone's overpricing …

Right now im playing with 2 a amstech roadster with a k6-2 333 and ess sound. And a toshiba 1555cds ill post up how it goes. One has a trident 9685 and the other s3 virge mx. At most they feel more like portable dos gaming laptops 3d would suck for sure. Then i have a gateway 600l that supposedly …

Good luck. The late Win9x era either gets you an okay VGA chip for DOS or a bad 3d chip with poor VGA and linear writes, and then there's the possibly bad passive matrix blurtastic screen they'll be associated with. They'll all run Q3 terribly. Geforce2Go and Mobility Radeon 9000 are the first that …

The more demanding games I want to play are games like Deus Ex, System Shock 2, F-22, Thief II, and Quake III: Arena, in 640x480 at a decent framerate. I've been looking at Pentium MMX IBM ThinkPads (the 650 and the 770 series ThinkPads especially, along with T20, T21, and T22 Thinkpads), however …

Online you're going to have trouble since old laptops are heavy and it costs more than $10-$20 to ship them, never mind package them and give the seller any kind of profit. Your cheaper options are going to be local. Check out craigslist, classified ads in the paper, local electronics and computer …

I get it now
