From the stuff I’ve looked at they look pretty fire. But I would need to get or borrow an older computer to play them on. Has anyone played them? If so is it worth the hassle to get them?

I used to play a super old AIO computer game where you made ice cream orders and stuff like that. Is that what you're thinking of or is this something else? At the time the game was moderately fun but not quite amazing.

That’s what I was thinking of. And I saw something about one that goes down to South America or something like that. All of them looked crazy old but I thought they might be cool. Think it’s worth getting? Did you play it when it came out in the early 2000s? If so that sounds amazing!

Sorry, I missed your reply earlier.

I played back when it first came out. I suspect that it would not be much fun in 2024, especially if you are a gamer in any way and have standards above two decades ago in gaming. ;) If you found it really cheap and wanted to play, it might be worth a little of your time just for nostalgia and fun. I suspect that it wouldn't be the kind of thing many people would play for long these days.

Last year, I decided to dive into my nostalgia and bought an old computer specifically to play these classic AIO games. The computer runs on Windows 98, with an Intel Pentium II processor at 233 MHz, 64 MB of RAM, a 2 MB video card supporting DirectX 6.0, and a sound card compatible with DirectX. It also has about 1 GB of free hard drive space, which is more than enough for these older games.

However, I don't play on it very often. While it was fun to revisit these old titles, the experience didn't bring as much satisfaction as I had hoped. The computer itself is painfully slow compared to modern standards, which can be quite frustrating. The nostalgia was nice, but the reality of playing on such outdated hardware isn't as enjoyable as I remembered. Instead, I recommend saving your money and time by playing online games on the devices you already own. Before playing, I usually check reviews at somagyarkaszino, you can even try some of the games in demo versions. Modern computers and gaming systems run smoothly without the lag of old hardware. Plus, you won't have to deal with eye strain from old monitors. There are plenty of games available online that capture the essence of those classic AIO games, offering a satisfying trip down memory lane without the hassle.

Wow, that's pretty dedicated! I can see how it would be frustrating when you're used to faster computers, beyond the old game itself.
