I just added setting up backups for all my favorite games to my to-do list so I greatly appreciate the post!
I tried Quake and it runs like dogshit. Any idea why?
Yeah there are a couple versions uploaded and they are pretty bad
I did find this notice on one of the versions, unfortunately I think there is just something about Quake that makes it hard to emulate in browsers at the moment :(
Please note: This Web-Based emulation of Quake is extremely slow; the game is not playable at this speed (although manipulating the settings for a lower resolution and reduced complexity will increase speed nominally). This item is included for historical reasons only and will hopefully one day be more playable
I found the orginal 3.5" floppies for my 286 NEC portable computer! The ones I had were corroded. Software included Ms-Dos 4.1, WordStar, and an excel like database. The beast is still chugging along with a 20MB hard drive, 640KB of RAM, plus extended EMS. It had a wonderful amber plasma screen with no burn in. Updates in the future include CF hard drive and network interface.
Jumpman and Zork. My childhood rediscovered! I'll have to share this with my kids, thanks!
