(re: Building Old Computers For Sierra Gaming)

My company was throwing out a bunch of old equipment recently, and I brought home an old workstation. It has a 166MHz Pentium processor, so it’s a little newer than yours, but so far I’ve been able to play all my Sierra oldies with it. It’s great because I never hesitate anymore before buying an old DOS game.

The machine was originally running NT, so I reformatted and installed Win98, and I had to add a sound card. (I learned a lot that week!)

I use the same monitor I use with my regular computer, and it works fine. I’m going to get a switchbox so it’s easier to swap the monitor between the two machines.
