Apparently the original Voodoo PCI doesn’t have enough video memory to run Diablo II. That’s unfortunate.

From a couple of weeks ago, but I really feel like playing some MSDOS games today.

I was looking at this Intel Overdrive CPU that was on my desk and I got for peanuts on a whim a while ago. Only now I looked into it and found out that I need a very specific motherboard for it. It’s an early 486 motherboard that came with a blue overdrive upgrade socket.

I haven’t been making content, but I made a short today. I haven’t found a good camera app for filming CRTs with the iPhone, if anyone has a suggestion I appreciate it. youtube.com/shorts/5BqsI...

Looking at this old advertisement and wondering if “positive response” is what we used to call tactile feedback. Pulled from Electronic Games 1994-11, at the internet archive.

Because of the way the display swap worked for this Game Gear, it’s been one of my favorite things since I did it. I just love how the modern display makes the old games look crisp. I have follow up mods for it like a new case and sound board but they’ve been on the backlog. 😬

It wasn’t uncommon for resellers in Brazil to put warranty stickers on your cpu. It would void warranty if you removed it. In a way, they were shooting themselves in the foot. I cringe when I remove a heat sink from an old combo like this and see the sticker.

I had never seen a video card with so many blown caps. I’m not sure, but I think it just happened over time too.

I played 2 hours of The Humans yesterday. Such a fun little game. I haven’t yet heard of anyone that played it in their childhood like our family did.

Hi guys! Recently I mentioned we had this game as a kids (The Humans) in a conversation with @riksrandomretro.com and he kindly found a box copy for me. I love this intro and music, such a warm fuzzy filling from memory lane. Thanks, dude! This is lovely. Btw, the disks worked perfectly.

How was everyone’s weekend? I managed to play a bit of Civ IV on my AMD windows XP build. I loved it, too bad I didn’t have a lot of time to lose myself in it. This build will feature in a video soon.

What’s up guys? I’m back from China. It was an amazing experience but it’s been a work in progress to get my regular routine back on track.

I’m pretty happy with how this windows XP build turned out. I am working on a video for it, but I’m going on a work trip to China tomorrow, so it’ll have to wait quite a bit for me to get back to it. The period appropriate mouse and keyboard really seal the deal for me. I love sitting here now.

So I finally have a build to use my pretty much new saitek eclipse 3 keyboard. Exciting!

The final setup turned out pretty well I think. I’ve been playing Jill of the Jungle after I took the shots I needed. But realized I could install my sb pro, I think Jill has an effects bug with the running sb16. I only remembered that after I heard it. But then, sbpro doesn’t have mpu 401. I think.

On a completely different topic today, I’m fixing up my 386 hybrid for a cameo. I’ll post it when it’s done.

Since I’ve heard about AMD’s Dragon Platform I’ve wanted to play around with one. I tried 2 different HD 4850s but both were broken. Finally got a Saphire in good condition and the fit is great. The case is age appropriate as well, nothing fancy. I’ve got so many XP games waiting for me!
