--- Quote from: kimimi on November 03, 2013, 01:38:37 am ---I used laptops for both modern and retro gaming, I have a (for the time I bought it) fancy-pants Windows 7 laptop for everyday use and a fantastic IBM Thinkpad with a 4:3 screen running Windows XP for most of my retro, then a VM Windows 98 install on my main laptop for those games that just won't run on the first two (although it's rather flaky, so I'm going to replace that with a proper W98 laptop down the line). I used laptops because I need the portability and I like having one gaming thing that doesn't take up lots of space, but in pure pound-per-tech value a desktop will always be better. You're not going to get one laptop that does absolutely everything... of course it's possible to dual boot or run virtual OSs on one machine but in my experience it's both simpler and more stable to have one OS per laptop, but that might just be my lack of expertise showing. --- End quote --- What type of lap top would you recommend for computer games before 2001? |

Ooh you'd need to look at exactly which games you're thinking of and then go one eBay or wherever and see what's available that matches your requirements. PCs and PC games being what they are I've got some Windows '95 games that work perfectly on my Windows 7 laptop while I've got XP games that *don't* work on my XP laptop! :o |
