I think this comic sums up classic gaming to a tee nowadays. Agreed? I mean really.. It’s not often that many people go “it’s old, it’s not worth playing anymore”. What if you haven’t finished the game? Well there’s many reasons to get into classic gaming, I don’t need to tell you why.

Segueing about my PC days, this is a fascinating video, where this bloke installs MS DOS 5.0 on a Virtual Machine, and works his way right up to Windows 7 following each operating system’s upgrade processes.
