Hier noch ein sehr spezielles Sammlerstück aus dem Jahre 2000. Eine kleine, zerlegbare Mini CD mit der Testversion von WinZip 8.0. Kompatibel mit Windows 95/98/NT, sowie Windows 2000/XP. Solch ein Datenträger ist heutzutage wohl extrem selten.

Viel Spaß damit!

Windows halt wieder, mit seinen völlig überzogenen Systemanforderungen! Man kann's halt auch übertreiben... Nen 486er mit 16MB RAM? So viel Rechenleistung und RAM braucht doch kein Mensch! 😉

I feel like my generation got "skipped" by the emulation craze.

emulation is great for like, console games, but I didn't grow up on consoles, I grew up on windows 98. it seems like retroarch and dosbox have basically solved everything from _before_ windows 98, and wine/proton are good for most stuff from the post-XP era. but the games I'm most nostalgic for -- Zoombinis, Backyard Baseball, Artrageous!... it's a bit of a pain to emulate them, right? you can sort of run them in Wine but there's so much fiddling and it feels so fragile, I had a Lutris setup on my steam deck that completely broke with a Lutris update so I don't trust Lutris anymore, which means I basically have to do all the Wine commands by hand

does anyone here have experience with this? is there a dosbox-esque "plug and play" solution for win98 CD-ROM games?

I have a Pentium 3 computer taking up space.

Convince me: should I toss it? Should I keep it?

Is it good enough to be a #retro box? Is it better than running an emulator?
