Found another Dell Pentium 2 233 today. Its bios password protected so I need to reset it. Anyone have advice on that? Is the riva 128 a good card? Is the awe 64 good? Pretty sure this BIOS password removal process will work: https://dewagdkasl.wordpress.com/2013/06/13/how-to-remove-a-dell- …

If you will be gaming on it, a dvd drive is essential Though you could have an external one. I Havent even one bay free on my modern PC because I watch blu rays on it.

I love my Pentium 4. Its defintely retro, but I dont use it for DOS games, thats what my 486 or pentium 1 are for. My P4 is a beast and i use it to play early to mid 2000s games like GTA 3, Oni, Dungeon Seige, Blacksite Area 51, and a ton of other games of that era.

I found the exact same motherboard, that I had in a core 2 duo build I was doing, but my original board was not working. This one works, so I finished the build. https://i.imgur.com/8Aw4nzy.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ICRMp0u.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xXZt0IA.jpg I installed Windows 7 becasue I had a copy …

May the force be with you! Good Joystick is a MUST. A close eye on the tactical maps (before and influght) is also very important. Sound is good but the music is also important. Subtle changes in the tune can hint to a new wave of fighters/bombers departing from nearby star destroyers. Have fun - …

Going randomly through episode 2 of Wolfenstein 3D , since it is game of the month at DOS Game Club. All the enemies are hitscanners and are lethal at close range. You must use gratuitous save/load or learn the levels by heart (which I have neither the time nor the interest to do). I recently …

I started X-wing. With B-wing and Imperial Pursuit expansions. I love the game, but have never finished it. I plan to complete it this time around. I need a decent controller though as playing with the mouse is too difficult for flight.

Sorry for the double post. It seems any time I post with images, I get an error, then refresh the page, and then my post is posted twice. I've been having this issue for a few months on here

Was about to leave the thrift store empty handed , but I saw this as I was walking out the door. It was looking right at me. I walked past it at least twice , or I must have, or possibly it was put out after I walked there before. Either way, I got a rush of adrenaline, hurried over and picked it up …

I started playing X-Wing. This is probably my favourite game ever, but big shock, I have never finished it. I plan to finish it this time around. I just did a couple of those training ground levels for X-wing. Passing the gates. I never did those back in the day but this time I plan to finish …

I finally completed Wolfenstein 3D. It only took 30 years. I still fire it up on occasion, but haven't completed it apart from the shareware levels. As a kid, I really wanted the full game, but couldn't afford it. Now, I no longer have the patience and attention span to finish it before I find it …
