Why did you forget the main perk of it: social anxiety.

After the 486, there were pentiums built at shops that still used 486 cases. In my experience the button wasn’t plugged in.

I thought of this as well. In fact, as a bit of fun I added a switch to a rack at our lab in a similar way with the same labels. This one though does nothing, but people did push the “turbo” button on old pc boxes despite how often those buttons weren’t connected.

I would also say that if you don’t hear the voice of god while praying, there might be a magnetic field interfering with your connection.

They have some great game developers that could oh, wait they died at the front, nevermind.

I’m sure uncle Yuri can use his previous experience developing accounting programs in an old scorpion back in the 80s.

My problem is witg cg fights. I feel like I’m just watching a three hour long cut scene.

The Batman Animated Series had both a Batman that’s primarily a detective that’s not that good a fighter and it was still engaging and entertaining without being so slow.

Then again that show was driven by a dream team from the voice actors to the music and art direction. Sad to say WB cut down on budget animation half way in and it really shows.

As a personal favorite, if you don’t mind reading, Timequest was a blast.

I unforgivingly forgot:

• Master of Orion 2
• Thief Gold (I think it does work with Win9x)
• Outlaws (Despite showing its age, it has some fantastic level design and very tense shootouts.)
• Legacy of Kain
• Anno 1602
• Sid Meier’s Covert Action
• The Colonel’s Bequest

And by law any PC running DOS is mandated to have a copy of Tyrian 2000 installed in it.

My top of the pops are:

• Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers (With Tim Curry)
• Dungeon Keeper

Honorable mentions:

• Starflight
• Pirates! Gold Plus.
• Loom (Which is sadly ignored despite it’s fantastic gameplay mechanic).
• Ultima VII
• Sam & Max Hit the Road
• Lands of Lore
• Cannon Fodder
• Caesar II (Plebs are needed!)
• Broken Sword
• Theme Hospital
• Turok
• System Shock 2 (I think it is playable in Win98? Probably in Win95 but it is a stretch.)

Marathon had though some nightmarish level design. But the lore is amazingly detailed for a FPS.

I’m not that kind of Orc.

I discovered Albion very late through gog, and I’m glad I did. It made me experience again the same feeling of traveling through a strange land that I felt before in Morrowind.

Syndicate was for me the precursor of GTA, I think I spent more time messing around than actually finishing missions. (In part because it was pretty hard)

I remember the difference between xwing and tie fighter. How tight where the missions and the campaign… If there’s a remake to make that’s the one for me.

My highlight in Civ II was losing against a mega empire and then half of it seceded and started a war, so I eventually got the upperhand.

For X-COM, I remember the sheer terror of boarding a ship with my puny squad.

Reticulating splines.

I still play it now and then, while I like the newer editions this is the one that aged better in comparison.

Robocop is sci fi Jesus

We also can provide a selection of onion infused teas as well.
