Someone just questioned if I *really* collect *classic* computers and they showed me an image of an 486DX2. Kids these days ... Video was taken literally 10 mins ago.

They really did a lot with the pc speaker on those old sierra games.

How dare you, this a lucasarts game - a far superior level of adventure game to a Sierra title!

My retro PC is a much newer one, Athlon 64 dual core build that turned out as a 2005 PC.
Yours is vintage even compared to mine haha.

Using an arcade converter to get TTL to VGA. Sorry, the oldest monitor that I have on hand.

Thanks! BTW, that little white box under the right side of the monitor is a WIFI adapter for the Tandy 1000SX. It's basically an ESP32 with a logic level adjustment circuit and a custom firmware, which was based on a similar project for the Commodore 64. It simulates a dial-up modem (in SLIP mode) and even lets me run an FTP server on the Tandy to copy files via WIFI to the system. Only problem is that the serial port on the Tandy is dog-slow.

Yup! That was our family first computer in the early mid 80s.
