My dad passed in 2019 and These videos remind me of Him, back then in that era of 90s pc games early 2000s he was obsessed. He played alot of games you had.
Rest in Peace to your Dad My condolences to you, your family and his friend's
Sorry to hear that man, hope he can rest easy.
:(
Rest in peace to your father Travis.
I'm sorry about your dad. May he rest in peace as a father and gamer!💐💐😞
MsDos, Win95 and 98 were part of my childhood.
Cherish those memories. It was a golden era for PC gaming!
Mine too, minus MS-DOS. I remember an old 98 game, Chip's Adventure I think it was called (feel free to correct me if I got it wrong) I was maybe a quarter of a way through the game when I forgot one of the passwords it used. My gramps (God rest his soul) tried to help me remember what it was and out of nowhere he made me spell "fart".
@@FrvrVglnt870 Chip's Challenge. I loved that game!
@@MattyB207 Yeah, it was pretty fun.
Commodore Basic, Msx Basic and MS DOS were part of my education
Honestly, GoG is a godsend. I’ve been able to pick up so many of my childhood favorites on there for a buck or five and they usually make sure the games run well on modern systems.
You know if starwars episode 1 pod racing works bettter bought from gog. I bought the steam version. But doesn't work. Some say it doesn't work on windows 10.
I guess its the same, but In case you knew anything.
Love gog but some of the older games like Vampire Masquerade bloodlines I can't get to run on windows 10. I really need to build an old xp system too so that I can play my Black and White 2 game. Can't get it to run properly on windows 10 either.
@@willy102073 Try PCEM on your modern PC. It can accurately emulate nearly any configuration from the 80s to early 2000s, starting at 8086, all the way through to 486 and Pentiums, including early 3D gpus ... Linus Tech Tips did an episode on it a while back, showing it flawlessly running late 90s/early 2000s games w/ Win XP or 98.
GOG is amazing -- though they aren't always the most accurate reproductions of the original games. You should definitely check out the eXoDOS collection. It's a hefty 600gb download, but has 7200 DOS games with all the original big box content included, w/ manuals/strategy guides/inserts for each game. All are configured to run optimally in DOSbox.
This man is the true definition of an
*Old School Geek God.*
you'd be surprised how many of those are out there. Basically, most people who are 40+ years old are.
LGR is even more.
Don't call him a God
Hes the son of god
Lgr is the OG of that
Love your old school pc game videos, man! Keep it up!
You
Oh didn't know you followed him, I like your TH-cam channel as well.
This is a big surprise
Glad you like them! Want more gameplay footage of Win98/XP games? I’m uploading a ton of raw footage over on my secondary channel: th-cam.com/users/mjrextras
So happy to see you back making videos @metaljesusrocks those few weeks were rough!! Keep on rocking buddy!
@@MetalJesusRocks Getting Pandora’s Box to work is a nightmare, made by Microsoft as well.
Great breakdown and info MJ. Some old classics get sadly forgotten about due to our technological advancements. Let the old classics live forever we say!
This guy knows what's up! 👆😎
Huzzah!😊😊😊
@Tevyn Monismith Many know nothing about these games, even if they lived in that era, because computers weren't as huge as they are now.
@@Scarsuna ..And computers weren´t AS CHEAP as they are now !. A rather crappy Windows 95 computer had a price tag of 2500 dollars (not converted to present day value), late in 1995. We´re talking 32 MB (not GB !) RAM, early Pentium II CPU (about 250 MHZ), 8 GB hard drive, no GPU/card and a semi-buggy Windows 95 as OP. And this was A MID RANGE model !. There were no "game computers" at the times, but if it was, it would have cost 5000+ dollars !. Because of the ultra fast product development in those years, YOU as consumer was ALWAYS the loser in the end. A computer as the mentioned was close to "old crap", already by the millennium shift !.
From ´97 and onward, you had PS1, Sega Saturn and N64 to chose from. "The most sensational game experiences the world had seen" at the time !. (First person shooter´s, 3 D-graphics, real music in Pro logic surround/stereo, and [except from Nintendo] the ability to play CD albums too !). Not cheap of course, but FOR REASONABLE MONEY !. The combination of "current Triple A titles" and "PC gaming" was almost entirely for rich fellows, or/and tech nerds, before 2005 or so.
LOL. ya still remember spend thousands on self build computers and games. lol
More of this please! The 90s to early 00s of PC gaming is completely underexposed in general and definitely here on TH-cam compared to console gaming. LGR have showed there’s a massive audience for it, too. It’s basically just him plus a bunch of smaller channel covering it ATM.
7:04 OMG the Dust on the cooler!!!!!
yeah I noticed that too, it seems with him having so many systems to maintain this poor PC was left unmaintained, I hope now that he show it he will clean it.
This is one of my favourite Metal Jesus Rocks videos. I don't know too much about retro PC gaming, so this really helped me out! Thanks MJ!
Glad you enjoyed it!
"Keep it in your pants pal" hah! That cracked med up xD
Shogo: Mobile Armor Division has a ton of funny moments like that.
I loved Shogo when it came out and still fire it up in Wine every now and then.
Great video MJR! Love looking back at classic computer hardware and seeing your retro PC setups.
This man is a legend. I remember watching a video when you spoke about working at Sierra. I bet you've had some awesome experiences man.
Yo metaljesus I recently got hit with a strong case of nostalgia and I recently started browsing your channel hard again. Perfect time for you to post this!!!
This is so cool. I miss the days of old pc gaming. I don't own an old machine anymore but this was a great nostalgic video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@Martin Dawson DOSBox is definitely a godsend for playing DOS games on a modern PC.
I use dosbox on a raspberry pi 4.
DOSBox for some, others with source ports (like Doom) and others again run natively just fine.
That reminds me, have they ever fixed the savegame corruption in Black & White? I remember it was recommended playing it on 98 because under XP the savegames will get corrupted over time.
I love you so much for putting games title in the description and all other necessary information we need, i am not able to collect games because of financial reasons but i found you to feel nostalgic through your amazing videos
This took me back. Great to see some footage of old pc games as videos about them are often outnumbered massively by console game videos. Thanks for the video 🤟🏻
Man, I didnt realize how much nostalgia I have for PC games until this video.
Maybe I should get myself an old computer so I can run some Red Alert, Redline Racer and Quake 2!
Great video, Jason!
Red Alert and Command and Conquer are both in a remastered collection on Steam. It has both old and new graphics, and old and new soundtracks.
Go for it!
I've been using steam and gog for an ok list of classics. Then there's The Internet Archive, and dosbox and abandonware and vaporware sites.
But probably the best way is to just build an old PC. Especially if you're using an old CRT monitor those are really the best thing.
Quest for glory 1-5 on GOG could scratch that itch, plus ‘Beneath a steel sky’ is free as well. Just started playing it.
Quake 3 Arena!
“You might need a boot floppy disk.”
“What’s a floppy disk?”
“This.”
“Wow, they made it look just like the Save icon!”
(Sigh)
😂😂😂
Make sure you stick that floppy disk on your refrigerator with a magnet next to where you wrote your wi-fi password on so you always remember where it is
@@IanNewYashaTheFinalAct Is that why its called "magnetic medium" ??
floppy disks are like Jesus:
They died to become the icon of saving
one of the most beloved videos from MJ!
0:15 WOW a trekkie's dream collection!
Dude i started watching u when I 6 or 8 and I just found ur channel again I’m now in high school I’m glad ur still doing this I love the content keep it up
When he opened his windows xp machine with warcraf 3 icon on his deskop I instantly knew this guy´s a legend.
2:28 Wing Commander! Such an epic game.
Those graphics and cutscenes still look beautiful today!
I love to back in time
remembering the good times...Thanks from Brazil!
Thanks for this video, man😊. It's so cool that you've got all those machines with the various OS's running! The 80s and 90s was an amazing time for gaming, so many great memories! Thanks again😊.
Seeing a PC run Windows XP in 2021 😍
It's like a beautiful 🦄
my xp machine was amazing. amd sempron I believe with 4 gb of ram and some radeon HD series gpu in it. been a while, don't remember the exact specs :)
I just look to my left and see two of them :D A Pentium 3 with 98 SE/XP and a Core 2 with XP/7, both fully functional and in use. And about 3 half build things that at some point should bridge the time between the running ones.
Just wanted to say thanks for helping me find my love for gaming again. Started watching your channel when my son moved out and I decided to turn his room into a game room. Just the past couple months I've picked up a few older systems along with the new XBOX Series X. Been supporting the eBay sellers with all my retro purchases and room décor! Found a lot of great stuff from watching your videos! Love the channel and all the content!!! Gotta grab me some of your Merch next! Thanks, MJ! Appreciate you and the cru!!!
Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been wanting to get back into PC gaming to play the old stuff I missed growing up. I like your approach with multiple computer consoles.
Phantasmagoria!! It has been so long since I have seen that game!! Nice video
man this takes me back. your dedication to curation is so appreciated!
I always appreciate the footage that you capture from these obscure games! I wouldn't know of them without your amazing channel!!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Lot of them are just retro so most people all knew of them at one time
knew of them
Nice video! Some nice nostalgia in these pc and games!
2:26 The nod of approval during the Wing Commander scramble and take off sequence. Yes, that's the appropriate reaction. Awesome haha.
I love his videos like this it feels like hanging out with a cool bro
OMG that Microsoft Sidewinder controller hit me RIGHT in the childhood.
i had a sidewinder wheel
It's like the father of the original Xbox controller.
My first computer was an old Compaq LTE 5300 that was retired from GM. It only had parallel and serial ports, so I had a Gravis Stinger. That thing takes me back. So many evenings playing Croc and Earthworm Jim with that thing. Man, looking at pictures on Google makes me want to pick one up again, but I know my full-sized adult hands would never fit it.
can't believe that thing has SIX face buttons
Looks like a sega genesis controller especially cuz it's missing the joysticks unlike the Xbox controller.
this channel rocks glad that i found it all my favourite childhood games here nice
Love your videos man they just connect with me on a personal level gamer to gamer perhaps not big but that set up all brings relatable memories.
25 years of games to play across 2 PCs. Wow. Talk about heaven.
+1 for the Countach model on your shelf in the back :)
In my youth I was obsessed with the Lamborghini Countach. Ever since seeing it on the big screen in the original Cannonball Run movie.
@@MetalJesusRocks I had a poster growing up of the 5000S (Like everyone else in the 80s/90s), but that movie was amazing! The Diablo is my favorite though.
If you watch Hoovie's Garage here on YT he just got both a Diablo and Countach for the price of 1
There's nothing like a good MJR video to make Friday even better
Thanks very much 😍
Just came across this channel, fantastic stuff and really takes me back to that amazing era of gaming I loved and still love. You have a new subscriber, keep up the great work.
Man, you rock, I have these old practices too, gratz for sharing this, greetings from Mexico.
This video might not get a ton of views, but earn him more subscribers because of the content quality
These are some of your best videos! Love seeing the old school hardware and being used as it was meant to 🔥🔥🔥
More to come!
I played every game you showcased in this vid! That was a epic trip down memory lane, Thank you metal Jesus!
Thanks for sharing. Brings back a lot of memories. One note however, if you want those PC's to keep working in the long term they definitely need some cleaning. The CPU heat sink on your Win XP PC specifically was caked in dust. A good tear down and clean will help with the longevity of the PC's.
Loved your video, as always. I was listening you talking about why you don't use Virtual Machines, and I agree with you that is not the best solution if you don't have the real hardware, is because VMs are meant to be production software for running several modern OSes at the same time, not for gaming, and definitely not for old school PC gaming, this is because it uses a technique called "passthrough", gives resources from your host machine but your guest machine will read directly from that, so if you have a Win98 virtual machine it will recognize an i5, not a Pentium I, that's why compatibility is so bad, same for video and sound cards, etc.However, I think we have to start to look to those kind of solutions, hardware sooner than later will fail and "retro pc parts" are getting more and more difficult to get. First of all DosBox is excelent for early-mid age DOS games, because is emulation not virtualization, so is just fine for games that are prior to 1995. For Windows games that goes from 1995 to 2000 that needs 3dfx and Voodoo stuff you should really really look at those projects called PCem and 86Box, same concept of DosBox but for a full blown x86 emulation, included sound cards and 3dfx video cards emulation, so you can install WIndows 98 running on an emulated Pentium MMX with full 3D supports with an emulated 3DFX Voodoo 2 SLI, and an emulated SoundBlaster 2.0, no virtualization whatsoever, so is very very easy to setup a "virtual rig" from 1998, no tricks or hacks or patches needed, just the program, the roms for the bios, your windows 98 copy (or iso), the files for the voodoo drivers, and fire up your favorite 3dfx compatible game, i'm having a blast playing Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed right out of the box. This project aims for accuracy so you need a powerful PC, nothing super expensive but an i5 7600 should be more than enough. v17 introduced Pentium II emulation up to 450mhz and Voodoo 3 emulation but this are very slow at the moment, so I would stick to a Pentium MMX at 233Mhz with a Voodoo 2 emulation for a proper Windows 98 setup. Seriosly, you really need to check this out, is an amazing project.
pcem-emulator.co.uk/
From 2001 to 2005 or so, I would recommend just to install Windows 7 32 bits on any cheap laptop, the older the better, but as long as WIndows 7 32 can be installed is fine. Why 32 bits and not 64bits, this is because Windows 7 is 95% compatible with Windows XP software, included games from that era, as long as the OS is capable to run 16 bits software. 64 bits Windows 7 can just only execute 64 bits and 32 bits backwards but not 16 bits software that many late 90s and early 2000 games are based on, thats why compatibility is broken so much just because of that. Windows 7 32 bits can execute 32 and 16 bits architecture so virtually is fully compatible with WIndows 98 and XP games.
Sorry for my long a** explanation, but i'm really passionate about this kind of stuff so I hope you and other people read my comment, and try out those emulators in case they want to remember old stuff but dont have access to old hardware. Thanks for reading! (if you made it to this point).
Don't forget to have a monitor that can run the older 4:3 resolutions right. Goold old 320x200 stretched to 4:3 (1600x1200 would be perfect for 5x6 integer scaling) and the later common 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768.
Since TFTs by nature only look sharp in their native resolutions, unlike CRTs who are fine with anything, you'd either have to scale up by full integers or play in a smaller window to avoid scaling artifacts.
Most games also don't scale their interface to modern resolutions, It's actually quite common that the interface is fixed size and doesn't scale at all. So even games like Unreal or Half Life 1, which run perfectly fine on a modern machine and in widescreen will have text that is unreadable small.
Help the game is just not displaying correctly
I can hear the music but the display is blinking white and black and eventually some image for a fraction of second
My immediate thought was "remember Carmen SanDiego on floppy disk?" Lol
(Dies of dysentery(Og trail)l
carmen sandiego collection on switch would be really cool , loved that game as a kid and great learning tool for kids in general! 👊
That's how I learned how to read so long ago. I was determined to play that game.
Your game collection is so friggin insane dude.
Seeing that gameplay of Redline Racer brings back memories.
You truly are a computer tech geek! Most of this video went over my head. Nice job and a lot of great information.
Not as much as some!
Windows XP was the best operating system of all time hands down.
I agree, though 98 (mostly 98SE) was pretty solid too!
98, XP and 7 were S-tier IMO.
Loved XP but Windows 7 was the best. Experienced W98 when my older bro had a Gateway PC with it and played Carmageddon back then on that computer.
Loved that game.
Nvidia 900 series is fully supported with Windows XP, so it is pretty much possible to assemble a top tier modern PC and run on XP.
Debian is the best operating system of all time. XP was the best offering from Microsoft by far.
Hero. Great video! Cheers from Italy
@2:27...holy cow. Wing Commander II ! One of my favorite games of all time
I forgot all about boot disks. Holy crap. That takes me back big time. Thanks as always for the video!
I love it all! Every second of the video was great.
Yay! Thank you!
I'm excited for more og PC vids like this! I miss your game room tour updates lol.
More old school pc content please!! :D Love to see info for nice hidden gems!
This type of content is so good !
really enjoy the videos, thank you for all the laughs and smiles over the years :)
Glad you like them!
What an awesome video! I always wondered what it took to run all those big box PC games. I am not very familiar with old computers so I am so glad to see sites like GOG. I first heard of it here so thanks so much.
That footage at 3:30 brought back some fond memories. Descent. Awesome game and awesome soundtrack
"Keep it in your pants, pal." 😂
Imagine if it's a game from 2010~2020?
What game is that by the way?
I found out it’s called Shogo
Metal Jesus shouts on Mrs Metal Jesus “ Come here while I quickly whip it out “ 🤣
12:39
Jason i love the pc set ups. I can tell you are into pc gaming
love ur style and ur videos man..ur great
Wow you almost have a million subscribers thats incredible. I remember watching your videos back in the old youtube format
Wow i love these old computers! We need more pc content :)
You're playing "The Beast Within"!!! I love that game! One of my top favorite Sierra click adventure titles! One of the best old PC games in my collection! And "Blade Runner"! Dude so good!
So nostalgic watching you using the computer on this DOS screen.
Super sweet rigs 😎👏 love these older machines 👌
The inside of your Dell Dimension looks exactly like my machine from college. I had a Voodoo3 with a slot fan because it would frequently overheat. This brought me back.
I still have XP running on my compaq pressario. Happy to see i'm not the only one!
You must be very patient 😆
@@davemaris4740 haha
Can you play Win 98 and Win 95 with that?
@@darkbionic1044 I'm sure my computer is still compatible with those operating systems
By the way, I love your retro video games vid. I grew up on alot of those games! Keep it up! 💯💯👍🏾👍🏾
Aww man, what a throwback! So glad I grew up in the 80s and 90s. I miss the old PC games. Sweet setup and collection brotha 👍
Yey, another video from Metal Jesus. I'm happy now
Appreciate Artists, Appreciate Hardware; In my Case, Sound Cards. If you See this Mr.MetalJesus. Love and Respect From Chile.
I love your videos so much and get SO INTO THEM that I actually FORGET TO CLICK THE 'THUMBS UP' by the time it ends! 😬Then it hits me, and I have to go back... I GOTTA give love and credit where and when its WELL DESERVED 🤘
Great video Jason!
Nothing I’m going to be doing anytime soon, but still very interesting 😃
I became a fan of GOG when they brought Jazz Jackrabbit back from the dead, so much fun!
Just yesterday I was wondering this. Thanks Metal Jebus!
You bet!
Awesome video and I remember owning some of the same hardware in the 90’s and early 2000’s. The Voodoo graphics card was my holy grail! Also remember the PC Gamer magazine with the game demo discs...good times
Awesome video so many good memories
I didn't realize you were into Star Trek. I'm pretty envious of that copy of the TNG companion. It was something I always wanted growing up but never found at a store. I've been thinking of getting a dedicated older PC for 90s games myself. DosBox has come a long way but I still run into several games each year that won't run properly under it. Anyways, great video as usual man. All of the footage from these older games was so nostalgic.
7:47: Firefight. A very underrated game in my opinion
I miss it so much. Had it on Win95, wish it was on GOG. I also was addicted to Microsoft Hellbender (wherin EVE, the ships' computer, was voiced by Gillian Anderson) 😁
I'm a metal jesus fan and have been a subscriber to your channel for years, I love your videos, I'm a collector myself.
Greetings from Germany
wow an old school trip down memory line thanks for sharing.
I don’t even play on PC, but I just love these types of videos. It’s fun to be educated 🤓
as a console kid i was very much against PC due to the Elitist crowd and how expensive they can get, but nowadays i'm more open and i can see what the Elitists see when it comes to PC gaming.
god knows that it IS an investment though. XD
Just wish Microsoft would allow Steam or/and the ability to play old PC games on Xbox.
I remember playing Doom, Quake, Half life, postal and command and conquer series on Pentium 2 PC back in the 90's
Yeah boy, Pentium 2 and a voodoo 3dfx cards runs ID engine like a beast!
Thanks for the awesome vids, you’re like the one cool older brother we all wish we had
My goodness what a gorgeous big box collection!
Good stuff! Love the hardware you've shown. Very nostalgic! Reminds me of the late 90's- early 2000's. I use my i7-7700 Acer Aspire with 16 GB RAM and GTX 1060 3 GB for all the stuff I play most frequently, as I switch from DOS to modern games a lot. Getting the newest games on my PS5 though, since my desktop is from 2017, and starting to show its age.
Who else sees him getting 1 million this year?
Well I'm one more, only just discovered the channel somehow ...
@@MatthewJohnCrittenden dude is hella cool.
Seems like someone you’d want to have a beer with. Honest and true kinda cool to have someone in the rock kinda vibe also.

@@MatthewJohnCrittenden I’m 36 and I’ll be playing for the rest of my days.....
Do any of y’all know a hard date on little nightmares 2 is going to be out?
Such a sick setup!
Thank you for all of the good entertaining videos because the last two months were hard for me because my mom and pet dog both died somewhat close together.
This video is giving me flashbacks to high school 🥴
College for me, especially the days of playing Civilization or Wing Commander 1 in the computer labs.
Elementary for me haha
This is really cool thanks for sharing. And yeah real hardware is awesome. Emulation is amazing but it doesn't beat the feeling of having the actual system
The dedication you have is cool. I grew up in the 98/xp era and I know how much of a headache it is to get old games to run. The first thing I always did was download the no-CD crack for a legit game that I didnt want to keep in the drive. I dont know how you find time to do any of this and play new games also.
Man this video rules. I've been using DOS box for about 15 years now on various computers and laptops I've had over the years. But seeing them run on old hardware again takes me back.
Growing up we had a DOS machine and I loved all the games we had. Only a handful of them haven't aged well, for me, personally.
windows xp was the best operating system to ever exist.
Indeed, there were two OSes actually, Win98 and XP. XP of course, gave the most of playing hours.
I ran XP for *So* looonnnng well into the life of W7. Then FINALLY I ran W7, which I ran until Last year. W10 is pretty nice. I'm not having any issues with it.
Like MJR, I have a few old computers dedicated to running older software. So I still have XP and W7 going.
I ran XP until I needed more than 4 GB RAM, which was somewhere around 2011?, After that I switched to 7, which I'm actually still using, since I got an upgrade coming later this year, and installing 10 for that short a time is just not worth it.
But XP lived so long, 2001 to 2015, that is longer than between then and now. It went from sub 1 GHz single core machines with 128 MB RAM into times where quad cores well over 4 GHz and more than a dozen GB of RAM were common, and it runs on all of that. Steam stopped support as late as in 2019!
You can run it on your old Athlon with to play the original Halo or Unreal or boot up your i7 and play GTA 4 or Skyrim.
Facts
@@HappyBeezerStudios Actually win xp was dead in 2014 not 2015 but still legendary OS :)
I've been working on my own 98 machine. I found an old Emachine in the basement with a Voodoo 2 inside. All parts except the Voodoo 2 will be taken out and replaced with better more high end parts.
A Nice Pentium 3/Athlon, then a Matrox for 2D, or a nice Geforce/Radeon for non-Glide games, some decent 120 GB drives (Can be old HDDs, modern SSDs or even CF cards) and a floppy emulator and you're good to go. Add in some networking so you don't have to haggle CDs all day.
Anything that requires faster hardware will run fine on XP (which btw supports an i7-2700K and a GTX 780 Ti as fastest hardware, so plenty of headroom) and anything speed sensitive is probably better run in DOSBox anyway.
Nice video I am a old gamer, my first PC was a Windows 98, which had the same processor has yours that you have had built. I had a Acorn risc pc and was trying to run Doom and had so much trouble I give up and bought the Windows 98 machine. Then I got into Halflife which had just come out, that game was brilliant in multiplayer mode, me and two friends had our machines linked up and played that game along with Doom and later Unreal Tournament we had so much fun. I will not bore you with any more but only found your channel today so I am looking through your back catolouge. Keep Safe. Chris.
Love this man this makes me go nostalgic when i first started pc gaming
