This is a general dedicated to games, hardware and more from the period of 1995 to 2000, the era of Win9x, the final years of MS-DOS and the rise of 3D accelerators.
Allowed: Windows 95, 98, ME and NT/2000 software and hardware (Pentium 1/MMX/2/3, AMD 5x86/K5/K6/Athlon), PowerPC Mac and post-1995 DOS/Linux/etc
Tolerated: Pre-1995 hardware/software, on a situational basis. You can mention it once in a while, but don't make your entire post about it.
Discouraged: Pentium 4 and later. Anything released after December 31st 2000.
Anything from before 1995 should be taken to the 70s-90s Retro Computer General - >>3485601
Pastebin/FAQ/etc to be added if this general is successful.

Voodoo 2 SLi does a surprisingly good job with Max Payne, even at 1024x768, except for some serious frame drops in wide open areas.
But in smaller areas? Feels like 60 fps at times.

Alright, my kind of thread.

At least it could max out UT and Dungeon Keeper 2. I think I even got NFS:U to run on it after some tweaking.

For once in a blue moon I'm actually currently sitting in my mancave switching back and forth from my downstairs PC that I'm writing this on and my Radeon 7000 98se computer trying to figure out why Blood is sending confusing my plasma when I send it any resolution higher than 320x400. AMA.

Why does this need a thread? Does
>70s-90s
Somehow not encompass the 90s?

>>3503524
The other thread is not a 70s to 90s, but a 70s to early-90s thread -- everything that is about 32-bit Windows and post-1995 architectures is off-topic.

They never want to talk about that sweet spot where they have trouble emulating so they treat us like /g/ nerds when we discuss it.

Windows 95 is discouraged in the PC general. This is a thinly veiled GBA-esque boundary pushing thread.

I always thought DOS games published in this era were interesting cause they'd usually have win95 versions as well...
ie: Command & Conquer

I have not yet begin to push boundries and even if I don't make the claim that games developed for 98 should be considered "on a retro platform" there are still shit tons of great games to discuss that fit completely within the official board rules.
