GAUNTLET LEGENDS

Nobody cares about Gauntlet Legends. The art was ugly, the levels were weird and riddled with switchbacks and odd vertical movement. That game did not age well at all.

I play Gamecube games in Dolphin using a low-power i3 CPU with integrated graphics. I don't think it's much of a system-stresser anymore.

I just liked the announcer and we went through a 10 year phase in MAME where it played 75% speed and people convinced themselves it was acceptable.

So I bought this monitor:

I think I paid 165 on rakuten and got a bunch of rakuten points or something as well.  I can't recommend it enough.... qhd, really good color accuracy, and a decent size and max refresh rate as well.  I thought my ancient hp2009 was a really good monitor but it became apparent when I ran some benchmarks with the new one that it suffered from some significant ghosting due to a higher response time.  Dirty Rally doesn't give me a headache to play now.  (Yay!)  So I got a qhd for photoshop and productivity, I didn't expect my games to actually run at qhd with a good framerate, but to my surprise it still averaged 60fps in both Dirty Rally and MKXL.  I was given the impression from my research that this was a middle of the road graphics card..... I wonder what people are using the high end cards for? :o :o

Anyway my saga is nearing and end.  I want to get a cheap rgb keybaord and mouse just for the heck of it and when I move over to the house I'm building a new desk and I'll post pics of the new setup.  Overall I'm pretty satisfied and it looks like I saved myself at least 700 bucks doing it myself.
