Old Computers Sucked

1995

The fourth year of the series. I've already failed to meet my 6 month season cadence, mostly due to me biting off a bit too much..

This season had a lot of ups and downs during the production. It has the biggest disparity yet between what I hoped to make, and what I eventually made.

I haven't really learnt how to use the mic I got for the last season yet, but I have plans. We'll see if I can execute on them for the 1996 season, or if it'll have to wait for the 1997 season.

This is also the last season with the old 386 that I started out on. Next season will kick off with a new build that I transfer everything to.

This episode presents an overview of how the computer hardware landscape changed over 1995, followed by a discussion and gameplay footage to demonstrate how my 386 performs with some games from 1995.

Limited by the craptastic performance of my 386, I make some gamedev tooling for Windows 3.1 in Turbo C++ instead.
