There are more than a few games out there that won't run on modern x64 systems. As part of Sommerfest 2023, I wanted to revisit one of my absolute favourite games, but it wouldn't run. That's where this old Dell machine comes in. Can I get it back in working order, and will returning to Windows Vista solve my issue and scratch that classic gaming itch? Let's find out.

Und da kommt dieser alte Dell-Rechner ins Spiel. Kann ich ihn wieder zum Laufen bringen, und wird die Rückkehr zu Windows Vista mein Problem lösen und das Bedürfnis nach einem klassischen Spiel stillen? Finden wir es heraus.

Well, the Rare game are still up for download which is free and I won’t bother it, this is just to preserve history. Monolith would be proud of even he was still part of WB Games today.

There's nothing wrong with Dell computers today. In fact it's all I buy.

I have my original copy of that game in my PC collection. First time I’ve seen someone else play it.

Always been very happy with my Dell laptop! Interested to learn why you are not so keen on Dell.. Nice video 👍

Yellow, Good job on this old Dell but not as complex as the one I made lol :)

In a system of this generation it's generally a good idea to replace the thermal paste on the northbridge as well, which may very well be just as crusty. As mentioned, it's pretty generic for a Dell, their higher-end models would have been BTX. It would have been similar for Fujitsu-Siemens at the time.

Only well into the video I realized how few views this has. Really unfair. By the way, why 8 gigs for a 32-bit system? Of course, you might end up using (again) this machine for something else than the purpose mentioned in the video, but I expected some clarification about it.
