Or, you know, get a VGA monitor (cheaper than water) and a line doubler box.

>These are good examples of what I mean, solid game design but utterly uninteresting technically

So just what's technically interesting about Bionic Granny and Karnov?

My favorite was the $999 CBM computer that was untested because the seller 'didn't have the appropriate power cable'

Funny part was that it was the standard power cable that comes with nearly every computer/monitor, and his next listing was a Mac SE or something with a power cable sitting next to it.

When I asked the seller why he wouldn't have tested the system to power on with that cable, he pointed out that I must be some kind of idiot because the CBM was labelled to use 115VAC while the mac was labelled as accepting 110 - 250VAC or so (As displayed in his pictures), so clearly that cable wouldn't work as the machines want different voltages...

I sent him back a short explanation that while I may be an idiot, I understand how wall voltage can vary typically from 114 to 126VAC (+/- 5% from 120VAC) and that this is well within tolerance for virtually any certified electrical device. I also mentioned how calling a potential customer ignorant and blind for simply asking a question about the item is a poor business practice.

I never got another response back.

>PSU fucked itself and ate your RAM
That...was shocking.

>The thing is that I have very limited knowledge on old computers before Vista came out so I'm not sure what to look for

Since you are obviously under the age of 18 and came here after watching an e-celeb, just use DOSBox. That's more up your alley.

Educate yourself, moron. My dad is 61 and he looks 10 years younger because he's never touched the stuff (or smoked). It's actually quite terrifying how many people his age (and younger for that matter) look like they're 75 because they didn't take decent care of themselves.

That's nice for the 3-4 games that actually could use the Mockingboard.

Oh look, another brainwashed robot who thinks the only good C64 games are PAL ones.

I get it, I get it. If you're not really playing Ultima on an Apple II with a green screen monitor off of a 5.25" floppy, you don't experience dat feel.

So essentially you're saying he's trying to argue that that code is whack because some assemblers couldn't process it.

I'm on Beginner mang, what the fuck? This shouldn't happen until at least March.

>Hehe, not me, I stopped playing new games in late 90's. And now I only care about 16 bit or earlier. But especially home computers, and consoles second.
Wha...do you expect a medal for this or something?
