Imagine if you had to limit yourself to as weak hardware as possible for decent amount of time (like - year or two, maybe moar) but there's is one condition - you need to have fun with and not forced yourself to play things you don't enjoy. I'ts only for gaming machine, you can keep your fancy OP PC for anything else. What will be your borderline?
At first, I was thinking about some overkill Win'98 PC but reconsidered. I really need that kind of hardware that offers few crucial titles with unlimited replayability (subjective merit!) so I''l go with high-end line of 386DX / 8 MB RAM which allows to run with decent speed Doom 1/2 (Icon o Sin excluded but it's a shitty level anyway) and first two Mortal Kombat. Then, there will be no excuse for not playing long-ass old RPG's like Ulitma (up to 8th) an Goldbox stuff anymore. Plus, such machine should be able to run some low-level Gameboy (NO$GB!) and propably some Spectrum stuff. Oh, and Colonization.
Weak 386, 286 and below will be unacceptable, I like WOLF3D but I'm getting bored with pre-Doom FPP shooters very fast.
Share your thoughs and If you wanne to keep your fancy juggernaut for modern popamole it's ok.
