Why are you being so retro for? You turning hipster on us. You need to grow a beard, first.
Because he's convinced it's the only way to play Duke Nukem.
I shit you not. He's already even been told that that isn't even the best way to play it, but he doesn't listen. It HAS to be an old 486 like he had when he was an apparently poor as fuck kid. -

It's like people who insist on owning and driving a 50s muscle car...it's technologically inferior to a modern car...same with Harley motorcycles...overpriced pieces of shit but people insist they are "the best".
Using a 486 era PC to run 496 era software is the same as restoring a 1950s Ford Thunderbird to play chicken on the backroads of small town 'MURICA...A 2020 Kia just isn't going to cut it. -

He wants to play an old side scroll game from 1991? -

I'm selling this shit before the inflated vintage gaming market collapses. -

Lets see here's a rough list from memory of what I currently have...of course inventory changes all the time.
Commodore Vic 20 x1
Commodore 64 - about half a dozen, 5 original breadbin models, 1x C64c version (plus another 4 or 5 salvaged for parts)
Timex Sinclair 1000, again about 1/2 dozen
Timex Sinclair 1500 x1
Timex Sinclair 2068 x2
Atari 1200XE x2
Texas Instruments TI99/4a x1
Atari 520ST x1
Atari 520STF x1 (upgraded to a 1040)
Amiga 500 x1 (sold 4 off fairly recently)
Amiga 600 x1
Amiga 1200 x1
Amiga 2000 x1 (sold 2 off fairly recently)
Sinclair ZX spectrum 48k x 5
Sinclair ZX spectrum 128k "toast rack" x1
Sinclair ZX81 x2
Sinclair ZX80 x1
Sinclair QL x2
Mattel Aquarius x3
Sinclair Spectrum Next x2
N-GO Spectrum Next clone x1
Pentium system x1 (running Win98se)
Pentium III system x 1 (Running XP)
at least 15 other PCs of various specs.
I recently bought a 486 off craigslist but the board was toast due to varta battery leakage, still the case/PSU and cards are good for when I find a good 486 board at a reasonable price.
Here's the most recent find...$100 for the lot, found on Offerup (cat not included).

Photos on request if you like? pick a couple of models and I'll take photos tonight.
I talk about what I know...I don't take about what I don't know.
Drugs and associated paraphernalia for example...you wont find many posts of mine on that subject as I don't know shit about it. -
