So there's a crowdfunding campaign to fund creation of a PC Classic

[Syntaxvgm]

I think the only thing that can top this in pointlessness is a dreamcast classic. 

"Relive all three of the dreamcast classics - Sonic Adventure, Jet Set Radio, Shenmue."

How long until they get sued and have to change their name because of likeliness to Unity?

Meh, I've already got some old hardware.

 

Nothing older than Windows 98, but I'm fine with it.

You should try getting something from the Windows 95 era too!

I wish GOG would have done something like this.

GOG barely releases old games these days.

But they're still the go-to for the classics.

I'd like something from that era

 

I love retro hardware. When it's functional.

[MuscularPotato]

Interesting. I actually made something similar for conventions that was a multi-headed retro gaming system. Mine however boiled down to multiple VMS working on the same machine making kind of a 2 player bay.

[SupremeGOAT]

can it run crisis WITH rtx enabled? where's the headphone jack? can it do 144fps at 1080p?  wait a second...is that a... raspberry pi?

[Mr.Faul]

No it isn't a raspberry pie it is a citrus fruit with a custom board on top...

And knowing the guy who made the electronics it will be a awesome little thing...

 

It doesn't come with a headphone jack it needs a cinch dongle for that.

[Kamina]

I'm still waiting for the PC 2.

[MuscularPotato]

I have a feeling I'm walking into a joke here but my google-fu has failed me. What's a Citrus Fruit?

Raspberry Pie = Berry (food stuff)

Orange Pie = Citrus fruit.

IIRC there are a few other brands too:

Banana Pie (More fruit)

BeagleBoard

NanoPC

Arduino (More a microcontroller, not a PC)

BBC micro:bit (Same as the Arduino, but different branding and "School" budget/education push)

Le Potato (WTF?)

The system will use "floppy disk cards" to play games

If they can replicate the whirring sound when I insert an SD card, then

[Uttamattamakin]

This would be COOL IF DONE BY IBM.    Imagine if they teamed up with intel to replicate, on a single chip, all the essential hardware of a PC XT or PC AT.   Better yet Make it a tiny 386 with 4 glorious MB of RAM, SVGA and SoundBlaster audio.  No emulation, no BS.  Maybe even get MS to put a version of Windows 3.1 on it for the gui to access the games. 

[DeScruff]

Im pretty sure Its gonna use SD cards, kinda like the SD2IEC:


Yes this is an SD card reader for the Commodore 64, that is shaped like a 1541 Floppy drive. Its awesome, 100% functional, and you can even get the SD cards to have stickers that make em look like a floppy disc.

[dtaflorida]

pfft... It's not classic if it doesn't have Memmaker.exe and Autoexec.bat

 

[Emberstone]

But... DOSBox already exists. And it's damn good. You can also get really close to accurate performance for many of the popular processors at the time but setting a custom CPU cycles value.

 

And you can emulate 3DFX cards in DOSBox as well.
