Hello,

Thought it might be interesting for everyone (who’s interested, of course) to list their owned favourite five retro possessions!

1) Voodoo II (my original Orchid Righteous 3D from back in the day)
2) Tualatin Pentium III-S 1.26Ghz (the 1.4Ghz was too expensive)
3) SGI O2 (I like the MIPS architecture)
4) Celeron 300A (@ 450Mhz of course)
5) JNTSC Spiced Orange GameCube (best car boot sale find!)

It‘s a bit incomplete and rough at the moment as I’ve had a few, but will update tomorrow!

Enjoy!

My favourite list is probably:
1) Sound blaster 2.0 with CMS chips
2) Dreamcast
3) ATi Radeon 1950XT
4) Small, beige ATX case
5) Slot 1 800MHz with ISA system

Only the Slot 1 system is very useful the rest of the list I just "like" the most.
 
1) Labyrinth by Lucasfilm Games for the Commodore 64 (disk) - still sealed and mint after 37 years.
2) Ballblazer, Rescue on Fractalus, Koronis Rift and The Eidolon - also by Lucasfilm (and Epyx) dating back to 1985 (disk/sealed/mint).
3) Dark Sun: Shattered Lands & Wake of the Ravager by SSI for the PC (1993) - mint but not sealed (big box versions/floppies/CD-ROM).
4) The second PC I ever built (a 2008 i7 965, Asus P6T Deluxe, currently rocking a 3060 Ti) in a pristine Cooler Master Black Widow (2003).
5) My MiSTer - in a Checkmate A1500 mini case (Amiga 3000-a-like) with a USB Amiga 'tank' mouse, a USB Amiga keyboard by Simulant and a new-old-stock AST CRT monitor.
