Still use Callus, NESticle, Genecyst, ZX32, ZSNES, KiGB, WinUAE v8.8r8, MAME Plus and Magic Engine (and few others I can recall right now) on some of my old PCs (486 to Pentium III), in their MS-DOS...

Well, I think it all goes down to personal experience. Probably. And in my personal experience, PC gaming was underwhelming until I got a 486. I had 3 or 4 mates with PCs when I had my Amiga and THEY...

I reckon that a high-clock (>30MHz) FPUed 386DX coupled with a RAMDAC SVGA card and a Sound Blaster board (even if a Pro) would be quite the machine in 1992. But awfully expensive, too. Surely not...

From memory, the plain and simple A1200 we got was ALREADY quite more exciting than a crappy 386SX PC clone. Even in 1992. People seem to consider those 386 beige boxes on their mere numbers alone...

I know and I agree. The feisty Amiga was a lot more able and capable than its own creators were aware of. An 1985 design that outdid basically anything that was available at that time and was able to...

Well, yes. I was speaking of about 1990, as my previous comment makes clear. Not 1992. A 286 in 1992 was seen as severely dépassé around these parts. No-one actually bought one and the people who...
