Screamer [Ep.1] - Retro PC Gameplay [AMD K5 75Mhz S3 Virge 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.
Screamer, a fairly simple racing game. 3 tracks and only a handful of car options, manual and automatic transmission options. Not bad! When I tried this game for first time a few days ago my S3 Virge had 2MB video memory, I recently upgraded it to 4MB and it made a massive difference. I wasn't expecting that.
Thanks for watching! Enjoy!

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.

7/10 - Good!
Like I said it's a very simple racing game. Not many track options and draw distance is very short, in some occasions you just see the void front of you. Good for short gameplay, I don't know if you could sit down and play this for a couple of hours. I would like to try the network play sometime.

it made me want to insert coin :)

it is worth inserting a coin! Fun game, I think I still need to try it with a better CPU.

[@davejones1621]

I think if you put more ram in there, like 16MB you'll see a massive difference.

[@RootiferasRetroGameplay]

Hey, yeah good idea and I actually had the same thought. I tested the game with 16MB and 32MB and didn't notice any difference at all. I think it's the AMD K5 75Mhz holding it back. Later I'll try it with a 133 or 166Mhz with 8-16-32MB ram to see the difference. But I appreciate the suggestion, it's a good idea definitely.

@@RootiferasRetroGameplay isn't that game spec 486?

@@davejones1621 I need to check the box, but probably that should be the case.

[@RootiferasRetroGameplay]

@@davejones1621 yes it is indeed 486. Here's a photo of the min requirements on the box.
