Re: TA for $5 on impulse
Wow, you had the whole 64? I only had 48MB back then so I couldn't play the really big maps.AF wrote:For a game that ran on a machine with 64MB of RAM thats a high minimum spec theyve put

I remember attempting to play TA on a 486 with a processor upgrade. It was painfully laggy, but I managed to beat the original game, and play on 32 meg maps for multiplayer. What a great game.

32 megs, I couldnt even dream of that.
Typical on a 468 like mine was maybe 8mb of ram or 16.
Even starcraft 1 ran a bit choppy on it.
(DOS was better anyways, warcraft 2 ran good enough, btw DOS should have stayed the main OS forever then today only the right people would use computers.
Really the old games ran smooth as butter and then came win95
Excursion in pc history over....
Even evil alliance gave away the old C&C games.Wombat wrote:ive seen atari releasing whole TA pack for 10... still, it should be free after so many years >>

Old games run smooth? I guess you don't remember divide over flow errors in dos that can also deliver a nice repeating audio bit.
