SNES,PS1, Dos games and couple of titles from late 90s and early 00s like Command and Conquer series. I am trying to find something compact and with good display. I was wondering if maybe someone here made such purchase recently.

Thinkpad T42 will still run MS-DOS and also the latest Linux distros. And it’s super durable and cheap and has one of the best keyboards ever put into a laptop.

I am not interested in old thinkpads because it's impossible since long time to get brand new one. I don't buy used stuff.

no this is the mod twisted insurrection, its an alternate timeline where NOD won tiberium dawn and ion cannoned the white house. Its made by the same people who made mental omega for yuri's revenge. its a pretty top shelf mod and even has some music done by frank himself specifically for the mods. also its a standalone so you don't need the base games installed for either mods.

OP here, I downloaded original isos (which are now legally available for free) from forums.cncnet.org plus necessary fixes. Worked well on my win 8.1
