Hi.
I'm using a 386 SX16 with Windows 3.0 and Word 1. My staple is wordprocessing - LOTS of wordprocessing. But I am getting married soon and can see the need to de-stress occasionally, take a break which involves less brain work! I have an Athlon XP for game play and media stuff, I more than suspect this will be dominated by my wife. She wants to write a book too!
So I want to play with some games on the 386. My preferred genre is RPG's.
Three questions:
1) Any recommendations for good games (not shoot-em ups) suitable for my machine?
2) Is there a speed degrader bit of S/W to allow of speed issues or older games? (I have a turbo button but 8MHz is still fasher than a 4.77Mhz 8088!)
3) What were the adlib sound card really like, the Yamaha 2419 chip type jobbies? Were they supported and were they awful?
Many thanks.
