Slightly tangential:
I&#x27;ve been wishing for years that a cottage industry would form around building quality systems for playing old games. Maybe a 486 100mhz with 16mb of RAM, or a Pentium 133 with 32mb and a decent video card so Quake would run well (Diamond Monster 3D 2 maybe?). Proper Soundblaster, 3.5 and 5.25in floppies, 4x CDROM, and a correctly configured autoexec.bat and config.sys. Hell, an external 28.8 or 56k modem too.<p>Dosbox and the like are great, but the sound is never right. Soundblaster 16&#x2F;Pro&#x2F;etc had a very distinct sound that none of the emulated stuff even approaches. Miss it mostly when playing Doom&#x2F;Doom 2. The music is never right.
