| What game in MAME surprised you after a PC upgrade? |

I really liked Killer Instinct... Glacius is my favorite. I'll admit there's a fair bit of nostalgia (objects in rear view mirror look better than they are) attached to it, but it's a decent game. Works fine for me on the vintage IBM ThinkCentre (3GHz P4 HT, i.e. single core pretending to be dual-core) that powers FLYNN'S. My "holy grail" has always been CarnEvil, and I was surprised that it actually runs better on the ThinkCentre than it does on PROTOVISION (1.8GHz dual-core with add-on video card). What was disappointing was that adding a video card to the ThinkCentre didn't improve the performance one bit on that game. That's kind of still in my "maybe one day" file, and if I really wanted to I could play it, but the monitor angle on FLYNN'S isn't well suited for gun games anyway (yep, sour grapes). :( Of course nothing is more inextricably linked to MAME as "______ doesn't run at full speed", so I've made peace with it. CarnEvil's not a game I ever played in arcades, but it was just the one game I saw in arcades when I was in my 20s that actually appealed to me when nothing else did anymore. |

If a person were building a scratch system for their arcade rig (me), what is the bare minimum video card you would suggest to play some of the newer MAME games and some Dreamcast, PS1 games? I am kind of out of the loop in regards to what you need for MAME and such. |
