im currently in the middle of bringing my 12 year old gaming rig back to life to play mostly late 90's games and possibly a few early 2000 games if it can handle
this is what i've been able to salvage
1 ghz pentium III complete with original motherboard
256mb rdram dim
60 gig hd (may have a higher capacity hd somewhere lying around somewhere tho)
nvidia GeForce 256 card (a little dirty but im almost positive can be salvaged)
soundblaster live sound card
50x cd drive
3.5" floppy drive
im pretty sure im going to need a new case and power supply but apart from that i think im good to go, only thing i cant decide on is which OS to go with or which would be better for my needs
win 98 seems like the defacto go to right now being as i mainly want grim fandango and bladerunner up and running along with a few earlier rts titles (kknd, dune, command & conquer, dark reign) light 3d shit like quest for glory V and possible dos titles later on down the line but not a real deal breaker
but i also want to be able to play games like max payne and giants citizen kabuto without problem and i dont know if they were win 98 compatible, which overall do you think i should choose?
