The game being played has a mind blowing actually really impressive quality for a Windows 98 computer, look at the online video games and compare it to this! This is actually insanely really good looking!
I used to have as my first ever game console a Gameboy Color and I had Super Mario Bros Deluxe as it-s first ever game to play on it when I was like 10 years old, and when I played video games, it was on a really old and actually really small tv back then that had been at the time made to only support VHS tapes and it-s only ports were a video output and audio output, it could use my Nintendo 64 I got then as a kid that I played between my cousins, and it was fairly decent for its quality in the tv, and the thing though is the Nintendo 64 game console-s history dates back to 1996 because someone found the only existing NTSC version of the additional add on component for it which was the disk drive unit to put onto the bottom of an N64 and it was equipped to a retail unit model of an N64, it had labels on it that read: NUD #1 USA Lot Check, a website called assembler games supported getting a hold of the guy who supported the model at Nintendo and he said it-s astounding that he found that console because the disk that came with it was a hardware and software testing purposes made for disk, so it sadly did not have a beta of some game written onto it but the backside of the drive said on the copyright date that it was from 1996 and the Nintendo 64-s release date was published globally at 1999 so the only ever made NTSC version of the disk drive made history on the internet cause it was able to show on its labeling and back side labeled information that it was equipped to a Ultra 64 retail ready unit that was marked #1 because it was the only 1 ever made and talked about at the press at Nintendo specifically in offices where you-d say what kinds of toys you had ideas to bring out to the market like Toys R- Us and it made headlines on so many websites ever since it was discovered and it-s firmware was dumped onto the internet as a downloadable source code provided retail unit able to play with software to download as though you could-ve used it virtually on your own computer under the circumstances, it could-ve actually been used with a specific version of project 64 which was an emulator made to play N64 games on from your computer.
This is remarkably beautiful that this game as a floppy disk game actually had such an astounding look of graphics and that shows a major highlight as to what sort of beauty these games actually had and came out with at press releases by people at Microsoft when Windows 98 was likely talked about to people as to what it could do at the time, so knowing it seemed like an old style operating system back years ago, it actually had and utilized actually really rather good core components and it seemed a lot more stable to use if you got a hold of a downloadable emulator version of a windows operating system to use on your own pc that uses a different version of windows.
This. this blows my mind.

I know this is a very old video, but did you know those AMD Athlons often had better CPU's inside them then what it said on the label? I bought tons of the 'cheapest' 550MHz versions back in the day, cracked the case open and lifted the cold plate off of he cpu die. On the die they engraved the rated speed, often it says 650 or 750 etc. It's quite a hassle to take them apart though. Then you could swap some resistors on the CPU board to get them to actually run on those rated speeds. 3rd parties also made what was called 'gold finger' devices you could attach to the top connector on the CPU board (only visible after removing the casing) with dipswitches to make overclocking a lot easier without soldering SMD resistors. I actually managed to solder those little buggers with a 'way too large' soldering iron and managed to get an Athlon 550 with a 750MHz die to run at 840MHz. It took me a while to get the resistors in the right location and actually damaged the board so badly that I had to add al kinds of extra wiring to fix up the damage. It didn't boot and almost gave up on it. It was horrible since it was my only PC at the time but I just liked to take crazy risks at overclocked back then (age 17). I had no money left, but tried the next day and to my surprise it finally worked! PC ran stable ever since and was an absolute beast at the time. I later even sold the CPU to someone who admired my messy work and just loved the whole Frankenstein effect going on.

This is similar to my Pentium 3 build! I bought a beige case because I liked the appearance and he threw in a Pentium 3 motherboard that probably has the same VIA chipset as this one. It looks very similar except my AMR slot is at the bottom. I went with a 1. 2ghz tualatin Pentium 3 and a GeForce 4400Ti instead of 3DFX, although I really want a Voodoo because a lot of games from that era were Glide only.

I know what you mean about loud computers. I used to have one that sounded like a jet when I first switched it on. Even my girlfriend could hear it in the other room when she was trying to get to sleep. this was what made me turn to water cooling which I had for several years. some of the bearings in the fan's can get jammed up with dust or need lubricating which can help.

My brother used to make what we called -Franken-puters- back in the day. Between thrift stores, yard sales, and cruising the neighborhood the night before trash pickup, he built a few. They were all pretty awful, but he could play games and get online. kinda. I never messed with computers from that era. (My 1st build was in '09, with new components) BTW, I love the color!

We have such compatiable all around hardware that is so fast and plays everything. Watching the older hardware and seeing all it took to get it running, the cords, the cards, the connections, all the floppies, even some machines used special ram, it's just so fascinating to watch the process of getting these older machines to run proper

20: 20 Note that the CPU says Costa Rica. Why? Because in 1996 Intel settled an assembly and test plant in that country, making a big impact on its economy, being over the 5% of the GDP until leaving in 2014. Another country considered was Chile, but CR offered best condions and requirements at that time.

A coppermine 1ghz p3 was my first computer. It was in a gateway performance 1000. Came with a Radeon 7200, 128mb ram, a soundblaster live OEM card, 20gb of storage, and a cdrw burner (i think a 4x drive) cost like, 1600-1800 back in the day along with the 17in monitor and 2. 1 boston acoustics system.

Wish i had speace on the house for mine, been trying ot get rid of it for years, my first pc, well the cabinet at least, found a motherboard with a pentium 3 on a thrift, makes me sad because his sound blaster card is failing and dont know if can find a replacement living on latin america

-LGR Great video and Project, was flooded with memories. Retro all day long. I don't know if it was an oversight or not but there are jumpers on the HDD that limit them to 40gb! Just a thought. Great work keep these vids up my man. A friend and now follower from across the Pond,
