GOG.com is bringing back some awesome classic PC games. Stuff like Fallout and MDK.
What's even better is the fact that their cheap (5.99 -9.99 USD), and they'll be compatible with xp and vista(fuck yea).
I'm really excited about this since I never finished fallout and only messed around in MDK. 
Here's the link to the site http://www.gog.com/en/intro

What about dual core issues?

I know fallout flips a shit with how fast processors are these days

Thanks to our handsome programming team, the classics are now Windows Vista and Windows XP compatible. Now you can use your lightning-fast PC to unleash the full potential of those games you just couldn’t play properly on that busted old 386. I think that means they'll run well enough.

I dunno about this.  If a game is really old, there's nothing wrong with pirating it.

I'm playing it on a quad core and I'm almost at the point of giving up. It randomly blacks out, which isn't too bad. So far two corrupt saves, and crashes at certain points so I pretty much can't continue along any of the quests I have left. idk what the deal is.  :'(

I pirated MDK the first time around, I'd be willing to buy it now.  Especially if it means a chance at getting a current gen sequel/remake.

Just wait till you get to the military base, you can't finish the game.

The problem is you are supposed to take down the forcefields using a tool. Now normally when you use a tool they go down for X seconds, well the game isn't keep real world seconds, and because the clock cycles are going many times faster than what was originally intended, so basically what happens is the forcefield comes back up instantly and you cant finish the game.

Well if the game wouldn't continually crash maybe I could actually experience that problem.

Well, assuming that they actually did make the games work properly with modern systems, you don't have to dick around with DOSBox or other slowdown utilities. They're build right into the game/launcher. So points for convenience at least. Smile
