FIFA 97 [Ep.1] - Retro PC Gameplay [AMD K5 75Mhz - S3 Virge 2MB PCI - MSDOS 6.22] [No Commentary]

What is going on here?
I have a large collection of retro PC hardware and games. I've decided to play each of the games for at least 1 hour to see how they are.
FIFA 97. First time playing. AMD K5 75Mhz is the minimum requirement and it says 133Mhz recommended. I can clearly see why. I will come back to FIFA 97 (also FIFA 96) later with faster hardware. Game runs in VGA mode and I believe there is a setting for SVGA but since it's working really slow I didn't even try that.
Gameplay... sucks. Yeah I think that's one of the worst FIFA's I've ever played. Controls are really bad and passing the ball is almost impossible. The ball doesn't roll at all, it sticks to the ground like a magnet. There's not many good things. I didn't enjoy it at all.
Thanks for watching!

Capture:
VGA output goes into a VGA Splitter. One cable connects to my monitor, and the other goes into the Gefen VGA to DVI Scaler. From there, a DVI to HDMI converter takes the signal into the Elgato GameCapture 4K60. As for sound, it's a bit simpler: a 3.5mm splitter; one side connects to my headphones, and the other goes to my capture PC'sFocusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen. Everything comes together in OBS.

Just bad
2/10 - Pile of shite!
I think they wanted to try something but that didn't work. Probably they didn't have enough time to come up with a better idea and ended up releasing it that way. It really sucks.

Awesome! Very Amazing Builds and finally a non common Game for test it. I love FIFA series

I'm trying to build an average or below average PC for playing the games, I find it more realistic. Probably most people had that as their PC at the time. You can see it is heavily skipping frames, later I will try it with different CPU's. :)

@@RootiferasRetroGameplay i perfect agree with you, i also love to test everything with the correct hardware of the time. It's too Easy to put a V2 on a PIII 1 GHz and Say "Oh wow!". We all at the time had a normal Build for that specific time.
