Like leaksters say Radeon 6950XT refresh will bring new 18Gbbs memory sub-system and 8-10% to performance
. I’ve decided not to involve myself into GPU race and stick with plain 6900XT. It is a performance banger under Windows 7 environment. Imagery by spacedrone808
Back to the Future is an excellence of American Sci-Fi movies at it’s best. Pity that they don’t do things like this any more.

Excellent time killing game with a noticeable profit to grey matter of your brain. Game where every click is satisfactory.
I recommend to acquire The Incredible Machine Mega Pack
released by GOG store, which includes 4 game parts in a one solid package. My favourite is Incredible Machine III
for Windows 95/3.X.

Frank Klepacki
is well known for Command & Conqueror
soundtrack released back in a mid 90s. He brought awesome progressive sound to PC platform, which was pretty innovative especially after FM bleeps’n’blops of the 80s era.
Don’t get me wrong, i don’t have anything against frequency modulation in games. UFO X-COM: Enemy Unknown
is an excellent example of how music should be done when you are squeezed by multiple limitations like waveform shapes, file size and so on.

If you would like to play these games on modern computer you are in luck, coz most of them were forked to open-source or remastered versions.

As you may already noticed i like to give a reference to Microprose games. Previous posts covered masterpieces like UFO: X-Com
and Civilization II
.
And i’m doing that on purpose. Games of the past primarily relied on solid and very high-quality storylines. Back in the day processing power of computer was quite limited and developers can’t offer breath-taking graphics. So they have to use head to output quality entertainment product.
Some nostalgy rant about convinience of older websites and absense of uneeded crap. Don’t you remember?
Here is some fine examples of modern sites, which try to match older web in terms of ergonomics and overall perception.

Sky Force is a neat vertical shmup on Android to kill your time on boring job. Excellent graphics and solid demoscene soundtrack of Reloaded remaster a bit spoiled by developer’s greed, coz game balance is tuned for purchasing stuff via real money. But if you are ok to play without microtransactions and slow progress is acceptable for you, then game is highly recommended. Of cource it can’t be compared with Jets’n’Guns
or classical Tyrain
, but anyways it is worth of mentioning here and can be counted as decent time killer.

If for some reason you are unable to find wanted music and you already looked it in oldschool Emule
and didn’t get satisfactory results i suggest to try out Soulseek P2P network. Pretty big chance that you’ll find what you are looking for.

The most coolest benchmarks from Finish masters.
Gradually Futuremark [which consumed Mad Onion] works had lost glitter of demoscene awesomeness and became just dry showcase room of current GPU technologies. And yeah, soundtrack of modern benchmarks represent boredom at it’s best.

Seen marvellous UFO X-Com
? So, here is another masterpiece by Microprose then.
In my childhood i was obsessed by Civilization I
, which can be played in plain DOS only. Game graphics was very pixel sketchy and forced the brain to complete imaginary world by myself. Many sand was spilled across the sand-glass. There are VI parts of the game to date!
Second part
of the game was released back in 1996.
Back in a day when torrents were in a non-existing state there was amazing p2p software called Emule. Some vintage computer geeks prefer Emule over torrents even today. Most of users are located in European countries like France, Italy, Spain.
Rather unusual software for 2022, but i concur that application can be helpful in retrievement of rare and obsure stuff, which can’t be found anywhere else.
