This isn't DOSBox. This is TIE Fighter on a real 486 from 1992. Sound Blaster audio. Digitized speech. The Imperial March shaking your desk. Before Squadrons, before Battlefront... THIS was Star Wars. Real hardware. Real Empire. BOOM! #retrogaming #starwars #tiefighter #dosgaming

@FloppyDeepDive @gamesyouloved K, my 386 and 486 had stereo speakers and I remember better sound that that, it had music. I had some Adlib card or something...but I swear there was cool music with it.🤔 Did I invent that memory?

The scream that starts The Way of the Exploding Fist scared the daylights out of a lot of us the first time it loaded. I also discovered something interesting… I have two floppy copies and they show different title screens. Flying kick or dojo? @gamesyouloved #c64reposts #c64

That rhythmic "thump-thump-thump" of a Commodore 1541 disk drive is the ultimate 80s stress test. Was it out of alignment, or just a really aggressive copy protection check? Either way, my heart rate just went up hearing this again. #c64 #commodore64 #retrogaming #c64reposts

@FloppyDeepDive Yep! I use caddys, so I have XP, Vista, Win-7, Win-8.1 off line, But have a different PC with a modded Win-10 with twin caddies, as I have a cloned Win-10 backup SSD, incase I wish to try a new program, so No tears before bedtime for me... Thoughts ?

@RGAddons @gamesyouloved That’s fair, MiSTer is impressive tech. But for me the experience is the hardware. The floppy, the drive noises, the CRT, the troubleshooting. That’s part of the nostalgia.

Why was this SO hard in 1993? Star Wars Rebel Assault running on a real 486 DX2-66 with a real CRT and CD-ROM drive. Back then this felt like the future. Then Beggar’s Canyon humbled all of us. Be honest… did you ever beat it? Boom. @gamesyouloved #starwars #retrogaming
