Re: Favorite games with the worst art?
[ QUOTE ] And I can't forget Bioforge To be fair both those games looked good when they first came out. [/ QUOTE ] Wow, I remember BioForge.. I think it's the game that had the one line (haven't played it forever, so I don't remember the exact line) that goes something like "If you've come for the fork, you're sadly… -
Re: In-game TF2 footage
[ QUOTE ] One thing I'm worried over is that even with the original quake TF, most of us turned down the settings to the lowest level (even using the dropdown to turn off all the textures etc) so that we could have the game on it's highest speed. [/ QUOTE ] I didn't have a problem playing it on my 486 120 . TF is less of a… -
Re: Bioshock Demo for download
[ QUOTE ] Can somebody go explain to the Internets the difference between resolution, aspect ratio and field of view? They're really starting to piss me off. http://www.joystiq.com/2007/08/21/bioshock-widescreen-issue-causing-complaints/ [/ QUOTE ] Resolution is the amount of pixels displayed on your monitor. So if you… -
Re: Become more efficient: Free or nearly free app's & websites to help us do our jobs...
Miranda IM http://www.miranda-im.org Portable enough to not require installation, so you could IM whoever from a usb stick with this very lightweight (it works nice on 486) program. Synergy http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ Great for using your second computer with, turns it into a desktop which you can move your mosue and… -
Re: Brand-new PC power problem
I'm glad you solved the issue, and sorry for the whole new pc issue. I definitely would never send my data 200 miles away. I'm used to building my pcs from ancient 486 dx2 66 times, but still every time I need to take things apart and reassemble, a little shiver runs though the backbone at first startup after "surgery"...… -
Re: farb rausch allways on real time , 200kbs :D
I used to gape in awe at this 'demo' stuff when it was running on my 486 back in the day. Back then the limitations were that you used conventional memory only - 640k, and of course there was no direct x and very limited video memory in those days. Still as impressive as ever. It's a shame that 'Mr Average' would look at… -
Re: Xbox One
there is a link in post 486 and it has been reported by other press that it is 'required' to have a internet connection so the box can automatically connect to microsoft when ever it wants and send them information. you can debate what kind of information might be collected. but you can not argue that the device is not a… -
Re: Generation gap... what ARE they teaching our yougster gamers these days?
Same here. :) I've even got cobbled-together systems spanning the eras from a 486/120 to a PIII 500 with an ATI Rage Fury... Late DOS, Win3.1/95 transitional, late Win95/98. Some of that stuff, especially the games that really pushed the hardware when it was released, just don't run right with emulators. And for some of… -
Re: is anyones computer as crap as mine?
I've still got this baby lying around somewhere: Took one boot disk to load up the OS and had another bay to actually save to. There's still an in-use win3.1/dos 6 combo, 486 back at my parents place. I think it was able to play Myst, although it needed a bootdisk for that. My folks don't want to trash it because it's got… -
Re: PSP Price set $250/games $40-50, your thoughts?
300MHz is more than enough to play mp3, you can play them on 486. And even if those video codecs cost $5 total per unit, still wouldnt make much of a difference. Also adding features to processor costs hardly any money, they have to worry more about the space they eat up that could be used for game specific stuff (i doubt…
