Retro gaming is the shit on modern hardware.
My original copy of Warcraft II still works in dosbox, and my laptop can run at least 8 instances of the game simultaneously without breaking a sweat. Get a couple multi-monitor graphics cards and run an entire LAN party on a single machine.
Or install a bunch of Windows 98 instances on a VM server for games that need Windows and remote in.
Some cleaver Eastern Europeans make game cartridges for a bunch of old consoles that can load ROMs off an SD card, so you can play every game ever released (and some prototype/demo games that weren't) on original hardware from a single cartridge.
Someone did the same thing for the Dreamcast, where it will emulate the disc drive using a USB stick. Assuming of course you don't just want to burn all the games to CD because the copy protection on that system is completely broken.
There's never been a better time to play 30 year old games.
I’ve thought about downloading a bunch of old Sierra games. I wasn’t allowed to play Leisure Suit Larry so I’ll start there
Somehow I grew up having never played Ocarina of Time, so I fired it up for the very first time last night on the ol' N64. It was like being 13 years old again.
Modded Skyrim is a game I’ve been playing forever. Elder scrolls 6 will be one I get but mainly I think I’ll go after older stuff. Maybe even buy a PS2 again.
