Here's one I stumbled across out of nowhere that has peaked my interest, so I thought I'd share it here. https://wackoid.com/game/taking-to-the-skies-with-project-wingman-pc/

Hah, I went through this process only to realize I already had it 🫢

The laserdisc scene was crazy at launch with Dragon's Lair, etc., but it seemed to fizzle quickly and suffer from a lot of games that were pretty disappointing because the technology wasn't ideal for a lot of them.

Seems it would have potential, but that looks like a hot mess!

Decent deal if your looking to pick up the Zen official Indiana Jones table and don’t have some of the other titles included.

Seems three of these was really necessary to complete the original story, which makes me hope for two things: Dune 2 doesn't rush the last 2/3 ish of the book still remaining that now is going to be condensed into a single movie. The final scene somehow is much more epic than I managed to visualize from the book.

Did you perform the install with elevated admin permissions?

Didn’t read the whole article, but looks to be some decent titles. https://gamerant.com/free-steam-games-june-2023/

After a years of Windows 10 it really starts to make you realize that 7 was so much more stable.....or hid its bugs better anyway.

Yeah, sounds like a good candidate for loading optimized defaults and picking through. I was going to suggest the CMOS battery, as that's gotten me more than once, especially that time I put the new one in upside down......DOH

Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) It's been a long stretch of down time while we move to a new home, so I decided to take advantage of it. With the Win 10 free upgrade end quickly approaching, I decided it was time to pull the trigger on some over do upgrades. The Q9550 has performed like a champ, but with the second phase of my build bringing a pin attachment, I wanted a little more oomph to ensure smooth playing action. The players: The trend with gimmicks on motherboards is as present as ever, I just cannot bring myself to pay insane amounts for a decent motherboard. In sticking with the same mindset I used when buying the GA-EP45-UD3P for my Yorkfield build, I sought out one that struck the fine balance between price/performance. I'd swore off ASUS after so many problems with several P35 based boards, but the Z170 Pro reviews well most everywhere, and so it got the nod. I'm also crawling out from under the rock I've been living under, and included my first ever SSD for my OS drive. Hopefully 10 will perform equally as well as 8.1 which; contrary to public opinion, has ran fantastically for me!

Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Believe it or not, it's finished Well I do have to get some #4 screws to mount the usb interface board inside the control panel, but all things considered..... Since starting this project way back when, I've realized this yoke was really not that old, small tweaks along the way improved theses with time. All things considered, I got a deal on it compared to what I've seen them going for these days. The handle covers had dug in groves, that appear to be a result of rings. I intentionally didn't repair them to add a sort of nostalgic authenticity. I topped off my yoke cover with some thumb screws. I used some 1/4- 20 brass knurled screws in combination with aluminum wing bolts to lock access panel into place while playing. Here's what it all looks like installed on my enclosure project. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, and yes, I played about ten games immediately after firing it up. After all these years I'm very rusty, but reliving the days of old is an amazing feeling! Phase 1: Complete

Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) I knew this would be a fairly involved process when I disassembled the controller, it hasn't disappointed! Although I had cleaned and painted the main body parts, everything else ended up sorted in plastic containers. As you can imagine at 30 years plus, some of this stuff was pretty dirty and worn. Never Dull; available under many brand names, is some amazing metal polish that cleans everything to near new appearance. I used it to remove tarnish and rust on the lock nuts, retaining rings, washers, etc. to a nice shiny smooth finish. I'd hate to know how much I've invested in this restoration, but thankfully most of the parts are readily available. I've got to give props to ArcadeFixIt for having a large selection of hard to find parts, and excellent customer service. The retaining rings and springs were especially tough removing, but over time I discovered techniques that made reassembly relatively easy. A little twisting goes a long way Tonight I got the potentiometers installed and greased. Next up, wiring harness installation

Mechwarrior - Living Legends https://www.moddb.com/mods/mechwarrior-living-legends/features/players-choice-mod-of-the-year-2009 Followed this long ago during early development, looks to be a winner!

Thanks! it appears I missed some of these releases, especially the MW series. I recall back in the Crysis days hearing of the Living Legends mod, but I stopped following it for some reason. Looks like it went on to be pretty decent. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MechWarrior:_Living_Legends

How are you playing some of these old titles, MW2 and Tie Fighter series, on Steam/GOG/etc?

Sweet. Funny you say that, I noticed my 1TB games drive in the red last night.

New rig pics soon!

Good deal You can back up your gameex.ini as you add emulators and always fall back a version if something goes less than ideal.
