I guess the gameboy edition should run fine.
It will, but you’re gonna need to hit the turbo button…

Slightly off-topic, but the only time I’ve ever used Windows 3.1 (beyond the odd virtualization experiment every once in a while) was on a laptop with a passive-matrix monochrome LCD, so seeing this OS in color always feels a bit wrong to me.
I think it was a Compaq LTE Lite, likely an early model. It was a relative’s device (he’s working in the insurance industry) and I was only toying around with it in the late '90s, when it was already obsolete.
Researching this laptop, I found a hilarious contemporary ad that is very full of itself and pulls no punches against the competitors:
These were very expensive, like all laptops at the time, so it’s no surprise it’s shown being used by executives. I’m impressed by how many now common features it already had. I think they aren’t showing the cheapest variant with the passive-matrix display in this video, which looked very dim and unpleasant.

bring back the spigot icon for battery discharge!
I could swear I have seen it on some other device as well, many years later, but I don’t remember what it was.
Time to break out Crysis
gta 1 is better
Wow so many floppy dicks!
Only if you delete system32
There is already no system32.
Love those big clunky buttons
I reckon it’ll probably play level six of the first GTA, which I presume is what you’re asking.
Nice build, though - most PCs of that era tend to be a bit dusty and yellowed, but that one’s a beauty. Takes me back.
I vacuumed it before I posted it.

I miss the days when computers were real MACHINES. With the CLACK of a fat button humming and buzzing to life. The whole experience was so different with much more audiovisual and haptic feedback. love it.
Some hard drives though man… like freaking tractors. I remember my first Quantum Fireball 3.2GB… it was the noisiest thing in the building.
To be fair, that has not changed much. I have a Datacenter HDD in my desktop system and the first time powering that thing up sounded like it just shredded the plates and i’m going to be bombarded with shrapnels. But in normal operation, it makes a rather soothing (at least for me) clackety-clack sound. My other, normal desktop HDD not making any noise apart from spinning up is something that i find rather irritating tbh.
You got used to the clackety-clack, that’s why it annoys you 😂.
It is true though. When I had my PC running 24/7, I couldn’t go to sleep if it was off (for some reason 😂).
You could probably play Doom so that’s a total win.
Meeh, you can play doom on your shoes, that’s no measure.
At least it boots faster than the gaming PC I had in 2010
How many floppy disks does GTA 6 come with?
Gta5 download size is around 90GB, and Rdr2 download size is around 150GB, so let’s assume GTA6 growth in filesize is the same percentage as gta5 to rdr2, which is around 167%, GTA6 will be around 250GB. From a quick google, the largest capacity floppy is 2.8MB, then it will require 91,428 floppy discs to fit just the installation file.
Have fun swapping it!

A floppy disk is 3.3mm in height, so without taking into account that a large stack would be rather compressed further down, the theoretical height of this stack would be about 300 meters, which is right in between the roof and the tip of the antenna of the Chrysler Building in NYC.
