This is not retroPC 100%, but I am very busy this month reading about bubble dotcom. I am freak out with this: https://www.amazon.es/Fd-Companies-Spectacula … 7939/ref=sr_1_1 The funniest thing is that all the great applications or websites have already been tested there.

I prefer a PCIe-ISA, but this looks very well. If you do a batch, it is very probably that I buy one.

I only have two snaps. Anyway, it came with CDs of Creative and more cards GeForce256 and the early GF2. I am looking for discs in archive. I will advise you if I can get it. @"BEEN_Nath_58" I think I have it: https://www.mediafire.com/file/24y54a20y6xl5j7 can you check it?

You can see the influence in other games such as Supreme Commander, with the female avatars in mission briefings being questionably endowed and overly symetrical. Although nowhere near as sleazy or obvious as the CNC counterparts. Do you play supcom? It is the best RTS ever. I can happily play Age …

GTA uses constant Z engine - all the polygons (quads actually) are cleverly constructed in a way to not require perspective correction (same as Doom). That doesnt mean you cant accelerate it by throwing those polygons at the Voodoo. Do we have a thread about engines of games? It will be very …

Doom 3 for me was a bufff/disappointment. The joke of this came when I played long time ago, and I see the last FPS. Now it is one of my favorite game. Other disappointment can be Supreme Commander 2 or Duke Nukem Forever.

This thread reminds me of a big question: Did you play UT2003 or 2004? I played so much UT99, but I could never play the next game of the series. I can't finish this post without talking about Unreal 2, it is amazing. It is a pity that this game was forgotten.
