I did a thing! I brought this little 1989 gem back from the dead. AMD 80386 DX-40MHz 8MB of ram, 500MB HDD, 1024KB Trident GPU, and a Sound Blaster Pro 2! Time to bring back those MIDI memories!

I asked reddit about my latest haul, and what I should get running first. https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/1uwk1kw/just_for_fun_why_doesnt_pcmr_pick_my_next_restore/

A few uses wanted to see this little 386 in more detail.

After a disassemble, clean, rebuild, and format reload of MS-DOS and Windows 3.1, it's ready to go.

Full specs:

AMD 80386 DX-40MHz

8MB of SIMMs

540MB Western Digital Caviar IDE

Trident 8900 1MB VGA

Sound Blaster Pro 2

Goldstar 2 HDD/FDD Controller

MS-DOS/Win 3.11

So it works, now what era appropriate games (late 80s early 90s) should I run?
