Because there is no such thing as a "retro" or "ancient" computer. That wording is programmed obsolescence propaganda. A computer is a useful tool as long as it works as expected and there is no good reason to throw it away. As long as it works it is no less capable then the day you got it. Emulation always sucks more or less. It is never perfect. Real hardware is always better. DOS is an appropriate OS for some tasks. When it comes to games, better graphics != better gameplay. Like better special effects doesn't make for a better movie. And better sound production doesn't make for better music. In fact better graphics in games, better special effects in movies and better sound production in music are far too often just a way to distract from the lack of skills, ideas of those who made them. Also a good movie, good music or a good game never gets old, this is how you actually know it is good. Most games, movies and music are just an endless stream of generic boring fast food-like entertainment for living intestines (consumers) being fleeced and sedated. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
