Sega ported alot of their games to the pc back in the day. Lazy Game Reviews made a video about them not too long ago.

Try looking at www.classicdosgames.com or www.myabandonware.com, they have lots of old DOS stuff

>>4593728
Depends. If you're just a weeb you'll find plenty of Japanese games for PC. If you're a full fledged nihongophile the PC-X8 well goes deep. Real PC-98s are getting shockingly expensive on eBay so if you must have one, get it out of Japan through a buying service. In my experience, emulation is perfect though and just using a vintage keyboard and CRT are plenty immersive but I'm not 2% as familiar with the minutia of how a PC-98 should actually behave as I am with PC.

Hardwar. Mix Wing Commander: Privateer with Blade Runner and add a fantastic licensed soundtrack and you get Hardwar as the result. It is incredibly hard in terms of difficulty and maybe isn't the most well-executed in the gameplay department, but what it does have is a fantastic sense of dystopian atmosphere. Be aware that the game uses CD audio, so use the analog cabling that you should already have.

Some songs from the soundtrack:

>>4594461
Western games in the 90's had awful artwork. And they hadn't figured out how to make a proper action game. Some studios had technical geniuses like Carmack, so developers would fill a truly cutting edge engine with garbage assets.

>>4593634

From about 1997 on, most games were Windows-based, which means they run on both AT-compatibles. Before that it was all PC-98, and 99% of the library was never ported.

>>4594213
>on eBay
Found your problem.
>In my experience, emulation is perfect though
Don't talk when you know nothing. The only decent PC-98 emulator still has shockingly bad sound emulation. Many games don't perform as well as they should on real hardware, and many others have bugs. PC-98 emulation is far from perfect.

Since this has been brought up I'd like to get some help on this, how do I get 3D acceleration in Windoes 98SE through Virtual Machine? It's the only way to replay Gearhead Garage for me as it does not run on windows 7 64bit.

>>4596983

So do I install that in Win98 or what?

>>4597015
Well, it works from outside DOSBox, not sure how it would work with a VM though.

>>4597021
I installed it in Win98, however it might be an issue with VM instead, I can't seem to enable hardware acceleration in any case. Gearhead Garage also comes with a Direct X7 installation so that's also on.

>>4597041
I don't really use VMs, I have a 98 gaming PC but probably someone will come along and give you a better explanation than I can especially since they'll get to call me retarded in the process.

>>4597048

That is your problem. You and others THINK you are the first person to call this or any other trip fag out. All you really do is derail the topic. Don't like it? So what. It is not your call.

Sounds like a decent haul. Whenever I see older beige PCs, I always take a look at the guts. You never know what type of fun stuff you will find.

My inlaws have a killer 486 desktop in their attic. I keep meaning to tear it apart, but never get around to it. The strength of the case would support my GDM fw900, so I am really wondering what I can do with the guts, and if nothing the case would be useful. My current "PC" uses a 486 case, which was a save from a dumpster, and my beige ps2 IBM keyboard which was a thrift shop find.

It was made for Win95. Win95 progs have a lot of problems with modern machines.Most common problem is that they just don't like duo core CPUs. That or they use some DLLs or DirectX functions that are no longer supported.

Windows 9X and XP machines are pretty hassle free. The pros of having a period correct PC are that games will/should work right out of the box. Indeed, there's a boatload of fixes out there to get legacy games working on modern Windows (setting up a VM, fan made patches, etc, etc) but it's nice to just install the game and have it run straight away.

I'm not sure how many old PC games are freeware now, but if you like having a physical copy, games of that era are dirt cheap. Granted, there's a premium for complete in big box games, but non-complete games in their jewel cases can be had for 1.00 (thrift store prices) to 5.00 (online prices + SH), so it's cheaper in the long run than if you were buying on GoG

It's also fun playing around with the old hardware.

Man, what is it about old PC games having some sort of charm to them?

OMF 2097

>>4593296
I got my tax return, and I wanted to try out a J-Win98 build. I have nostalgia for my 286-12/386DX40/486DX4-100 days, and I used my cousin's Pentium for Windows95, but I skipped over Win98, and went straight to Windows 2000 (then XP, to now 7). So any help is appreciated.


I've only gotten these (and a basic CPU cooler not pictured) so far for a J-Win98SE build. What else would you suggest for the build?


I regret throwing out my old computer hardware when I had to move. I did find a couple of DVD drives (ATAPI) that I miraculously didn't throw away, like the one pictured, but I am not sure J Win98SE supports it. I still need a power source, which I am thinking of getting a modern one with some adapters for the old equipment. I read that in Winn98 I shouldn't exceed 125GB HDDs, so I still have to hunt down some 120GB HDDs but are there any modern alternatives, like some compact flash to ATA and programs to partition a couple 120GB drives?

What troubles might I encounter? Such as I heard a Win98 install requires a floppy drive, and I'll have to borrow my 486DX4's floppy drive (but I do not have any more discs), I see there's a floppy emulator, but I do not foresee any need for a floppy drive once it is up and running. Is it possible to go without a floppy drive for the build?


I am going with J-Win98SE for the Win98 games I still surprisingly have, such as Ys Eternal 2, some Evangellion mahjong games, Zwei!!, an alarmingly large amount of Touhou games, and maybe it'll allow some DOS/V games like Princess Maker 2. I hope all the random cheap US Win98 games I surprisingly have would work on such a build too. I missed out on so much, and I have a lot of catching up to do.

>>4605190
You don't strictly need a floppy drive to install Windows 98, but it is the most straightforward way. I would honestly recommend just picking up a $20 Gotek, since sooner or later you'll probably end up wishing you had one. If nothing else they're extremely handy for DOS gaming, so you can stick it in your DX4 system afterwards.

>I read that in Winn98 I shouldn't exceed 125GB HDDs, so I still have to hunt down some 120GB HDDs but are there any modern alternatives, like some compact flash to ATA and programs to partition a couple 120GB drives?
Yes, there are CF-to-IDE and SD-to-IDE adapters, as well as SATA-to-IDE adapters. If it's over 127 GB there are tools that can limit the capacity. So you can use basically anything at all.

Regular CF/SD cards have limited write cycles so they're not ideal to use as boot devices in Windows machines, but they'll probably be fine for a retro gaming PC that only sees occasional use.

>>4605190
>GFX5900
Isn't that a tad overkill for Win98?

>>4605203
That's pretty sound logic. At $20 it sounds affordable, and probably worthwhile. In a couple of weeks, I might get one then.

>>4605239
SATA to IDE sounds best. I appreciate the warning about the CF/SD card, because I don't think the computer will see occasional use, but rather extensive use, since some games like Total Annihilation, Diablo, Quake 3, etc. would eat up a lot of playtime. Could probably find some less expensive drives that way to offset the cost of the adapters. I'll try to look into the tools/programs for limiting capacity but I don't mind being spoonfed the answers.


>>4605378
Impressive you can tell. Voodoo 5 cards go for a fortune (the 32-bit color and higher resolution), and the 5900 does have Win98 drivers. My monitors are widescreen CRT monitors capable of 1920x1200, so the extra horsepower may be needed to drive that many pixels. Also, as a bonus, the nVidia card has a S-video out, so maybe there are Win98 emulators for other systems that can output to my old TV.

>>4605539
why didn't you get 6600/6800, then?

>>4596626
How can I run this nowadays?

Jazz Jackrabbit 1&2

>>4598668
Correct. But graphics options are broken in seven(B&W in seven also laggy as hell on my 980/4960x, most likely due to the bug in drivers because it manages to eat up something like 60% of GPU) and beyond, most certainly broken in Vista and maybe not broken in XP(I cannot quite remember) in a way that it's always on minimal settings.
It probably can be amended by tinkering with the registry, though.
Believe me, I've spent a lot of time playing on 166MMX/Voodo 2 so I'm quite familiar with this preset.
It's also tricky to run in Linux Wine: due to the known bug half of the textures would be black. There's an unofficial patch for the wine source(never made it into develop or master), but one can only apply it to the x86 version of wine.
>>4599118
You got lucky with your particular hardware and still, you've probably played on minimal settings, which drastically reduces the drawing distance.
>>4598646

>>4606113
Pretty much what >>4606839 said. They are from the bargain/clearance bin. I thought 2 games for $5USD each was a good price. The boxes can switch the location of the spine to reveal the extra info on each game. Shogo came with a game cal Septerra Core, Planescape Torment was paired with Soulbringer, and Fallout 1 came with Fallout 2.


>>4606882
The one pictured was cheap and I knew it had Win98 drivers. I had no idea the 6600/6800 was listed on the drivers site. That's why I am looking for suggestions on what to include in a J-Win98SE build. Is the sound card right, should it have been a different one? I think I also opted for that 5900 because it said ASUS which is a brand I use quite often in computers. A bonus that it is single height, and the cooling seems sufficient (because I heard some Voodoo cards like 3 does not have adequate cooling). Missing out on the Win98/ME generations means my knowledge on these things are a bit weak. When I was on Windows 2000, I had the GeForce 3, just plain 3, no thousands or letters, so graphics cards advanced fast.

>>4605190
>I read that in Winn98 I shouldn't exceed 125GB HDDs

Wait does that refer to 128GB partitions or will Win98 actually complain once you go over 128GB on a partitioned bigger drive?

Because right now I have a 250GB IDE in mine that I partitioned into two partitions thinking that would solve the problem.

Should I remove it and transfer my files to two smaller HDDs?

Never actually played it since i don't think it's even possible to run it on modern systems without installing a virtual machine, but I've played the remake, Avernum: Escape from the Pit and I like that a lot.

>they are absolutely out of place, they're trying to be a recognizable individual - on an anonymous imageboard

Yeah dude we fully understand the fucking reasoning behind it behind out of place, it's just that if you don't say anything about it you don't derail threads. I rarely notice names until some petty pain in the taint like you points it out because like most people here I do not look at the name field.

>>4607456
It's the total size of the drive that matters, not the partitions. If you use a larger drive you risk data corruption once you start writing files to sectors beyond 128 GB, since it will wrap around and start overwriting the lower sectors instead. If your motherboard supports 48-bit LBA, I believe there are some modified drivers floating around out there that will work around the problem, but you'll have to do your own research there.

>>4608232

Then I'll just chuck in some smaller drives, I still have a 120GB IDE drive so better safe than sorry.

Thanks for the info!

And for DOS games, we used UniversalNeverlock.

Piracy was such a pain in the ass back then because games had built-in anti-copy challenges, like asking you to look up a word or phrase in the game's manual. If you ever lost or misplaced your manual, you were basically fucked. Neverlock patched the challenges so you could get past them while typing any random shit.

May as well use this thread to ask: for someone using PCem, what are good /vr/ games that only run on Windows and not DOS?

>>4609704
like someone said in one of these windows threads previously, there aren't that many good Windows games (especially 3.1) because they didn't really offer features that DOS hadn't. They actually took up more memory as well, hence why "Restart in MS-DOS" mode was a thing.

That said, there are some good games already mentioned in this thread. Also I'd like to add:
- Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV (better than on consoles simply because of the interface)
- Deadlock
- Stars!
- Outpost (though I expect a lot to frown on this)

Been fucking around on my P3 700mhz pc a lot more so lately. Have a ton of games, about 2/3 in pic related I haven't played yet.
Any recommendations on what to start with this lazy snowed in day?

>>4609303
ahahahahaha wtf haha

>>4598770
But that's wrong you nigger, I've played MW3 "out-of-the-box" on windows as late as 10 v1703

>>4603912
This is better than Rise of Robots?
I have the cd/dos version of RoS the game is fucking shit.

Genocide 2 ( a x68000 game) was ported for DOS by Korean
This one is made by Korean:

By "early windows" you mean Windows 3.11? 95? 98? Do you have a graphics accelerator or not?

>>4609303
This could've been really funny but you fucked it up with your LOL I TWYPE FUNNI XD autistic nonsense.

>>4593296
A real man's Hidden Gem is Re-Volt. You probably heard of it's name a few times.

If racing games isn't your style, I recommend Jazz Jackrabbit 2.

Kind of new to older 486 stuff. What do I lose from going to xp over 98? I was mostly looking to play stuff from 1995 to 2000, and I noticed latest versions of Diablo II no longer work on 98

>>4613710
>What do I lose from going to xp over 98?
DOS support.

>>4593296
>>4596626 fuck yeah
Outwars, Battlezone, Descent, Theme hospital, age of mythology, the sentinal

>>4596904
In his defense babbages gramps pretty much never shitposts and is very helpful. That being said i think they should just remove the option to trip, most all tripfags are annoying as fuck

>>4614259
He does spout bullshit pretty frequently, though.

>>4614259
spoonfeeding newfags with expertise straight from mount stupid is not helpful to anyone but the fag's own ego

Hey, since you have a more recent release of Shogo could you check if there are CD audio tracks on the disc? It is for a project I'm working on. If it does have CD audio tracks check back in here.

>>4616182
Unfortunately, I think they compressed it all to fit on a single disc for the budget release. Under the directory GAME\MUSIC\> are files in .sec and .sty format. Not redbook audio like the CD-ROM Street Fighter games. They compressed a lot and had room for some really small .avis to sell Claw and Medieval.

>>4617320
Those music files were the original ones but there seems to be a PC version that uses red book audio. In fact, there are even references to it in the source code. However the maps don’t call for audio tracks. But I saw a lets play that had very different sounding music that was more similar to the soundtrack CD, and there are cues too specific for the songs to be added recording. Why I’m asking all of this? Well, it is a secret for now.

>>4617886
Also, the original files are DirectMusic files. Basically similar to sequenced files like MIDI but it contains sample data.

>>4593296
Dunno about "hidden" as I've always thought these games were popular. Begs the question if you meant popular then vs popular now

Sim City 2000 (released 1993/4)
Freespace: The Great War - 1998
Freespace 2: Colossus - 1999

That's an excellent world building simulator game and two fun as hell arcade space sim games. Freespace 2 is my fav of the two. You'll want a joystick. You can still get them all to run on modern systems from gog.com as well, although via an emulator/dosbox

you should get gabriel knight 2

>>4609271
>>4607157
I've managed to run it on VMWare VM WinXP on ten. The framerate is abysmally low, though. Now I have almost-PTSD flashbacks about 166MMX/Voodo2

>>4611643
what are your specs besides cpu?

>>4619201
As it turns out, it becomes semi-playable at 640x480. God, I love this game.
Younger didn't get this joke, though.

>>4593296
Scorched Earth

>>4598228
One of the first games I played on my win98 machine. Fucking loved it.

>>4619310
P3 700Mhz Coppermine
512MB PC100
Sound Blaster 16 PNP (Has an OPL3, not a VX)

I swap between two video cards for kicks. AGP Voodoo 3000d 16MB, and a Geforce FX5600 256MB
The Voodoo is just for nostalgia really, had one when I was in highschool. The Geforce on the otherhand is just flat out better, not just in specs but in driver stability. 3dfx made trash drivers back in the day. Having a game render all fucked up is apart of the authentic charm I suppose.
>>4616148
I'll add it to the list

Fatal Racing / Whiplash

>>4593678
>>4596792

HOLY SHIT MY NIGGAS
Best nostalgia of all time. Got my Yoda Stories still running on win10x64, but I can't for hell find and run Indy's desktop adventures

>babbages gramps pretty much never shitposts and is very helpful
i'd rather he shitposted. he's the kind of poster that has to go into every thread and answer every question with "i'm not sure but [something stupid]" like he's still on a 2002 forum trying to boost his post count. his non-thoughts are worse than obvious shitposting because they look real and only after you've read them do they turn out to have been white noise all along.

>>4593678
You can even get this working on windows 7, If anyone has figured out how to get Indys desktop adventure working let us know!

>>4619535
The runtime is 16bit. You just need ANY 32bit windows in a VM. So you could install 32bit 7 in a VM and it will work just fine.

the OEM CD for win98 is bootable

If you have a decent GPU, CyberStrike2 was a great game with a decent campaign, if not a little repetitive.

Also if you want to check out any Edutainment games, the Super Solvers games from The Learning Company can be a good bit of fun, especially Midnight Rescue and Treasure Mountain.

I'll also 2nd an above Shandalar recommendation, as it's still considered by a lot of people to be the best digital MTG game ever made.
