I have an old 486 laptop that plays Asteroids very well, as will some others.  Wasn't THAT long ago when we had P60-75s and it was fun to see Ghosts & Goblins run without frameskip......

With your spec you can run Daphne, Mame, Snes etc...

That AMD isn't old.

A 8088 is .. :laugh2:



Grauwulf:

Man, I remember when a 386/16 was cutting edge. And it wasn't *that* long ago.

Havok:

Just avoid newer versions of Windows and run an older version of Mame - it will work great! Or, go the Linux route - that always requires less horsepower...

lanman31337:

Or run it as a dosbox and you can run old pc games, mame, atari, etc...  Minimal load times too!

shardian:

TinyXP can be loaded on a machine that old believe it or not. I just loaded it last night onto an IBM with a P333mhz with 160mb RAM. Worked great.
