  • Every time when I explore places, my goal is to find out as much details as possible about the place.
    NOTE: I respect every place, so my goal is not to ruin the place but get to know it better, find out more details.

    New part: Accessing Abandoned Production Computers - th-cam.com/video/v2D9i4GxKOU/w-d-xo.html
    EDIT: I appreciate everyone suggestions! Next time, it will be useful for me to explore those old drives! I'm familiar with VMs and other tools. I just wasn't ready and not expected to find games on the hard drive. I already have other places where I will explore old computers, so see you soon!

    FYI: the reason some apps on that drive say they aren't compatible are because they are 16bit applications, and you have 64bit Windows 10. If you had 32bit Windows 10 you could install the 16bit compatibility feature (if it isn't installed by default) and then run those games. The ones that ran were 32bit Applications, which obviously do run on 64bit Windows 10.

    8:18 you’d mentioned later in the video that the station closed in 2006. If you look at the uninstall file shown here, it has a date of 3/29. It’s likely a that file has a list of file paths added by the installer, so they prob. added that game not long before they closed.

  • @matejjustus4573

    I think you should be prepared more with the software side of things in your computer (also maybe upgrade to better battery or make/buy big power bank).
    My suggestions are:
    a) install some os in Virtualbox (DOS, WIN95, WinXP maybe even Linux). This way you can keep win10 on your pc (because of drivers etc.) and at the same time use older software.
    b) use DOSBox. This program can run programs written for dos (also for win 95).
    Win XP would not help here, because this pc was running win 95 and that system is based on DOS. Win XP is NT based system. It may work with compatibility mode, but I think DOSBox/VirtualBox on windows 10 is a better choice.
    Also, I love this kind of content. It is interesting to see, what is left behind in old computers and dug into it.

    if your entire computer is wrecked but the hdd is still alive, and you get another computer and set up your old hdd there, so it is more likely that you basically did not switch computers at all
    so any processor can process stuff, any ram can deal with the same stuff generally speaking, but what keeps the story alive, what has the precious information is the hdd
