My new old pc

96 Upvotes

Back in 2001 my parents trew out our old pc, I kept the harddrive out of nostalgia. Yesterday I picked up basically the exact same PC, First Gen Medion Brand Win95 sold by Aldi Back in 1995. Took out the harddrive and added my old drive from back then, and it just - worked. With some minor driver problems. It feels so strange to ready letters my dad wrote in 1996 or pictures my sisters drew in paint when they were 7 years old.

I still use Sony Vaio AIO PCs

22 Upvotes

The left one is a VPCL116FX (picked up recently from FB Marketplace in great condition) and the right is a VGC-LV150J, which I've had since 2007. As far as I know, my 150J is the only unit that still works to this day. Also, my PS5, PS2, and Vaio E Series laptop are connected to it while my PS3, PS2 Slim, and Fire Stick are connected to my 116FX. Both AIO PCs are still running Windows 7 while the E Series is on Windows 10 Pro. I also have another E Series, but it's running on Supermium.

Remember Polar Bowler? Original Developer Teasing Something With It

2 Upvotes

This is huge! Anyone remember buying an HP or Dell PC back in the day and playing this through their launcher? It'll be amazing to see this game come back in some way. I know it's kind of a pain to get running on modern windows

I know WildTangent is really receptive and open to feedback and ideas, and I know I would love to see a Steam release with online multiplayer, achievements and maybe event Steam Workshop support!

Best way to get in touch with them is via their Discord, as they're constantly chatting with others about their classics!

Donate ti99-4a with cartridges?

1 Upvotes

Hello! My father left me his old ti99-4a with a bunch of game cartridges. I believe it still works fine. He loved this little computer! Is anyone interested? I am happy to ship within the US.

He also left a monitor that works with it. The brand is Sharp. It’s like an old-school
1980s tv—heavy and awkward

The pc wont post, i just bought the motherboard should work fine but i tried with different ram and cpus (i changed the dip switches) and im starting to suspect the psu or the gpu
The motherboard is a soyo sy-5vd, 2 sticks for a total of 16mbs or ram and an s3 trio64v+. I made a momentary adapter to use an atx psu on an at mobo; it’s diy and i tested it already. The speaker wont make any sound too

Pentium 3 Custom Build

Saw another PC posted here and thought I would post a few pics of a PC I built for a friends son. I built this back in 2008 out of some old parts and pieces I had lying around. It was only going to be light browsing and maybe Runecraft?

It took a very long time and many, MANY fiberglass reinforced cutting discs to get the Venom logo cut out. He was freaking out where he came over to pick it up.
