i've been meaning to post this for a while now, so here it is
The Gateway GP6-400
Tumblr media
this is my retro pc setup - a modified gateway gp6-400 from 1999. this model in particular really appealed to me; it's powerful enough to run most games up to around 1998 or so, but it still has fairly realistic performance for a typical gaming pc of that era. i still went ahead and swapped out some parts as well as added some new ones in order to get exactly what i want out of it, however.
here's the specs:
- Pentium II 400mhz
- 128mb RAM
- 250gb HDD (win98 partition only uses 6.4gb for accuracy
- Voodoo3 AGP graphics card
- Integrated Ensoniq AudioPCI audio
- ES1868F ISA audio card for DOS gaming
- DVD-RW drive
- 3.5" floppy drive
- 250mb ZIP drive
on the pc there exist two operating systems: windows 98 second edition and ms-dos 6.2 with windows 3.1. now, you likely find this odd considering that ms-dos 7.1 is already accessible from windows 98, but i reeeally wanted a true early 90s dos experience. so, i have a full installation of dos 6.2 on a separate 425mb partition (the size of a decent hdd from 1994 or so) that i access via boot disk.
as you can also see from the pictures, there's a crt monitor as well: the 17" princeton eo710. it was expensive - well-kept crt monitors tend to be that way unfortunately - but it works wonderfully and the display is gorgeous. i try to keep it at around half brightness and contrast, which can make seeing things in games hard at times, but i really would rather not risk wearing it down lol.
overall, it works splendidly. i'm able to run any games made up to around 2001 or so fairly well, and while there's been issues dealing with stupid win98 bullshit, it hasn't been too bad to work on. it's been a dream of mine to own a computer like this for ages, and now that i finally have one...i'm really happy :)
here's some more pics

Phantom UB Funkey OC
So... The past two weeks I've been thinking about an old game I used to play, UB Funkeys. I had the urge to make a UB Funkey OC and I've also wanted to make an OC from another game, Animal Jam, for several years. I decided, why not just combine the two?
And this was the result!

The background was fun to paint and was nice practice. Overall the art (character reference + background) took around 6ish hours? About 2 of those were on the background alone.

So it took me forever to find out what Oberon Media got its name from (Aka the people who made all those games preinstalled with windows)
Tumblr media
In simple words: Bug/Fairy (Who may actually be a dragon type going off FGO)

Sentinel: Descendants of Time
"Sentinel: Descendants in Time" is a 2004 PC graphical adventure by Dedalion. It is a first person, point and click adventure game, but uses keyboard keys for walking and a mouse for actions and 3D panning.
A holographic sentinel guards the ruins - caverns left behind by the extinct Tastan race.
You play Beni who knows enough about the caves to be cautious. Only few who have entered have been able to find the way out. Now a greedy treasure seeker kidnaps Beni's sister and will only release her if Beni enters the most fearsome tomb of them all - the one belonging to Dormeuse, the Sleeping Woman.
Actively protecting her tomb, Dormeuse appears throughout Beni's exploration - taunting and challenging him. Sometimes her purpose is unclear. At other times she will actively protect, and, in doing so, will put roadblocks in Beni's way. Is she real .. or just an implanted artificial intelligence?
