I both laughed and cringed at the two player demonstration. You're awesome!

Me: *Learned computers in MS-DOS era*
8-Bit Guy: MS-DOS are the ancestors of modern computers...
Me: Damn I feel old.... :(

FYI: DOSBox does have the capability to use Nullmodems and even IPX.

Wow, I loved how those old laptops had removable modular drives and peripherals.

Even though i will probably never buy one of these, i had to stick around for the whole video, because it is so well made and interesting.

I would love to see an update on this - I feel prices on this vintage stuff have gone out of sight lately. That same Compaq he won for $25 is now $100+

I distinctly remember running a DOS clock limiter that throttled the CPU cycles on old hardware. I had to make use of these to enjoy all the stuff I had on my 8086, once I upgraded to my 486DX40 (quite a leap at the time).

I'm not gonna build a vintage gaming PC, and yet I watched the whole video with utmost attention :/

Me: I love old retro games! :D
8-Bit Guy: You'll need this and this and this. This might not work and this might not work. This and this and this.
Me: :c ...Maybe I'll just watch you play instead.

10:56 YES, very yes!!! I have like 12 oldschool systems, but by far my favorite for DOS retro gaming is my Toshiba 400cdt. If you're wanting to get into DOS retro but you don't yet have your first system, hold out for this one and pay the extra for it if needed, it's worth it.

Desktops
Good: Easier to work on
Bad: Too big and bulky and too heavy


Laptops
Good: Portable and small and easy to carry
Bad: Harder to work on, find drivers for, or find parts for.

These Laptops are really hard to find nowadays. It took my almost two years to get both the Compaq LTE 5000 and Toshiba Satellite Pro 400CDT in perfect condition. But it's so worth it for classic DOS adventures and other games!

I can't thank you enough for this wonderful video. You took me back literally 25 years or more and I thank you for that. I can only try to imagine the kind of efforts and preparation it took you to shoot a 16 minutes video. High respect.👍👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
