Modern Video Cards

First, and for the record this is here and not on the hardware forum as it is about modern hardware and what to buy, not vintage equipment. OK Since Nvidia has released now the 8600 series cards and i am building a modern gaming rig (something that could run Crysis). I need YOUR opinion, so answer t...

How do you get Fedora Core Linux to work?

Perhaps i'm simply being stupid, but Linux seems to hate me. Once i downloaded Fedora Core 6 and about 10 cd-r's later finally got them all to pass the image test. Then every time i try to install in on a HP OmniBook (P3-500, 12gb HDD, 256mb RAM, and 4mb VRAM) it can't open graphical install and the...

Atari 2600?

Do you have Moon Patrol, it's my Favorite.

But i have to agree on the 1$ games, i could have been worse.
They could have just corrupted your registry and been incompatible
with your video card.

Thats what happened to me the last time i spent a buck on a video game.

Have to say Columbia Data Production's "Space Commanders"

Think Space invaders in EGA and you can move your ship in any direction.

Doom was revolutionary for FPS's and comparing it to modern games 10 - 15 years older simply isn't fair. It's like ragging a Ford Model T in comparison to a Dodge Viper.

My final rating is

10/10 single player

5/10 multi player because there is no support for it.
