ITT: things that will never happen
Pretty shit
Most of those games are either already on Steam/GOG to buy or freeware. Most normies have no nostalgia, false or legitimate, for old computers, so they're not going to line up for a replica of an old work machine.
okay yeah i'd actually buy this
i'm a fucking hypocrite
but the plus side to this is that you'd actually be able to download more shit without homebrew
MS never fixes the crashes that plagued Win95/98/Me. The few suckers get angry. Sales die off quickly.
but does it still come with the internet explorer starter kit?
You can play all of these on Windows 10 easily
Not Paint.
WRONG
WRONG
mechwarrior 2 and 3 I had to have my dad mail me our old Win98 machine for
there was literally no other way
yes, but theyre legally required to also offer you netscape or aol by the eu
Not even a virtual machine?
There would be zero reason for this to exist. Every single ones of these can still be played through re-releases, dosbox/virtual machines, source ports etc. Unlike consoles which can only play older titles through remasters or digital re-releases which are emulation, you can always find a way to make older games work. The xbox being somewhat of an exception with the BC it does have.
Good job, you created a vector for malware to spread.
Depends, does it actually run fully-featured Win95 or is it just a Win95-themed selection menu for the games?
There could be some novelty to be had in a specialized mini computer that runs classic Windows, but it would still be a niche interest. Not to mention that all of these games are still available and playable on modern Windows, which is something nearly everyone has. The games themselves also don't carry as broad of appeal as Nintendo games do, further limiting the reach of such a device.
I would personally buy one, but it's very easy to see why this wouldn't be much of a success.
had multiple installations of windoze 05-ME on both my windows partition or my linux one
nada
mechwarrior 2 would work if i gimped it with titanium edition but that was a frankenstein solution with half of the features gonzo
Where's G-NOME?
>Windows 95
>Not Windows 98 SE
but you can?
>AOL
more like ALOL
I got it to work just following what was on PC gaming wiki
pcgamingwiki.com
It essentially just uses DOSbox
Same problem the nes/snes mini have; It needs to be on a crt otherwise what's the point
I played the shit out of it, but I never knew anybody else who did
Also, who the fuck even owns the rights
"Every single game ever can be easily emulated in windows!"
NO
every DOS game is easily emulatable
you start trying win95 titles that had some special brand of directx 2.1 packaged with the disk and you are going to get fucked
I hope they change their mind about MS Paint, don't want it to die
>dos version
thats half of the game gone
not to mention mechwarrior 2: mercenaries which is the best one of the series
You can do all this with a raspberry pi
Not for long. Microsoft is killing Paint after 32 years of service.
Well 7th Level gave the rights to Ion Storm when they cobbled what was left of Dominion together.
So technically Square Enix of all companies would own the rights to G-NOME.
>all of them either get bluescreens constantly or get viruses since the last security patch was almost 20 years ago
I feel the same, user.
Paint was always there for us.
hello incompetent person
It doesn't work because they don't own the licenses to those games. The classic systems are owned by their respective console choice.
you get mechwarrior 3 running, past second campaign mission, and I will worship you forever
The DOS versions are the best.
Enjoy getting licenses for most of those.
>Quake and Doom are owned by Bethesda
>Sim games and even that pinball game are EA
>Myst games are handled by Ubisoft by license I think
>Warcraft, Diablo, and Mechwarrior 2 would be Activision Blizzard
Microsoft has very little first party games like Nintendo worth mentioning. Except Solitaire, maybe
I'd bother with a SoC Win98SE machine that is essentially Voodoo-2 grade hardware to have compatibility with all the old shit without need of a community fixes/dosbox/etc.
That sounds boring as shit. Is this the PC master race? Doom a d Doom 2 at the top of your list pffffft hahahaha
I hope they change their minds as well. Paint has always been the trusty go to option for me to quickly add some text or draw circles/boxes/things on an another image to illustrate something for my friends.
I often used it to crop screenshots since the screengrab tool isn't really usable nor that accurate as Paint allows you to be.
The fact that it always been installed by default has always been important to me.
If your're talking about the bouncing APC's/disappearing turrets the cause is that modern CPU's are to fast for the games physics engine to handle. I got past this issue by going into power options under windows control panel and adjusting CPU power settings to 10 or 5%. Stopped the APC's from bouncing and the turrets were there.
no its the constant crashes between missions based upon video card fuckery
i can fix the bouncing apc's but then it crashes again later guaranteed
>Most American normies have no nostalgia, false or legitimate, for old computers
Fixed. Most Euros have had a long standing culture of mustardhood and would eat this shit up.
Add some 80's DOS games and make it look like a PCJr and I'm sold
the only difficult thing will be licensing all those games from different publishers.
We'll good for your brother
This idea is actually fantastic OP.
Too bad they don't have the balls to do this.
Only a crazy person would do this.
Did you try dgvoodoo?
I would add:
>Prince of Persia
>Stunts
>FIFA 95
>Full Throttle
What else?
Interstate '76
Tyrian
Extreme Pinball
One Must Fall 2097
Twinsen 1 and 2
Death Rally
>Most normies have no nostalgia, false or legitimate, for old computers
Vaporwave.
Road Rash
I thought Titanium was
needs moar alien rampage
