Asus F3S Results for two years of gaming – quaka and hunger for speed

 


My legendary retro computer. Asus F3S. It is a computer with Windows Vista. It is just before Windows Seven. And after Windows Xp. So, mainly, you can set a Windows Xp for this Pc. Vista is cool OS. So, it is a little forgotten. But, it looks rather beautiful. By the way. I like it. So, now, I am on Vista! Wow!

So, most of all, I play with retro games with this computer. At summer at the countryside. And, until summer. But not so a lot I play this pc too. So, this is something like, a game results by systems for 2024 year. So, something like, hello diary. So, what I play!

For two years, by the way. So, during summer, it was main activity, and a little during the year. So, for two years, I have something. So, a little list with games.

It is Need for Speed 2 Special Edition, Quake 2, Colin Mac Rae Rally 2, Road Rash for Windows 95, Counter Strike 1.1. These things, I play most. And, something like, I start all time the same games in my weekend. With aim to walkthrough a second Quake. And with some fun to play some arcade or rally game! Racing and shooters. It is, already, a pack! So, mainly, I switched for racing games. Quake – it takes a massive part of game time. 



But start from summer 2024, it is start to get score a racing block. I like a lot second Need for Speed! Bright and positive super racing! Different tracks in a different parts of the world. And, super racing cars. And, special prize – for the idea – game about little dinosaurs. About island with dinosaurs - Carnivores. So, you walk there. And, put dinosaurs into sleep. For science things, maybe! And, later, you release them again! I will not set games with places. And, just, point these games here about a last gaming year!

By the way, looks like, first gaming year, it was, mainly, about Quake. And, so, second gaming year, already, - racing games to appear - Colin Mac Rae Rally, and, of course, racing star – Need for Speed 2 Special Edition! And, in summer, a time I spent with racing games rises a lot!

 


Need For Speed 2 Special Edition

Special edition! So cool! For so arcade racing! I like a lot this game since my days with Pentium 2. And I want to say since my 486dx2. But, with that machine, I can run, but it has a strong freeze. So, it was very rare for that machine.  It was freeze Wipeout. So, I even don’t remember what else! So, I played it in Pentium 2, ages also.

So, I want to start with this. Super cars. Well, maybe, not super. I am not good with cars, as a real thing. But, they are sport cars, and, that’s, should to be correct! Sport and racing. Cars for racing. With bright exciting style. Fast speed. And classy arcade tracks in a different corners of the world. Tibet, or something like that, mystical place. And, so, Australia – also, a very distanced country. And, it is as a puzzle for a traveler! And, so, look – track in winter. And, here it is, a summer track. Well, yes, there are not lots of tracks here. But, every track – it is art piece. Every one, is with its own unique style, and features. With its own visual. Every track is very specific. And, has its own character. So, now, you like more - one track – and next time – another one. So, it is easy things here!

Same thing goes for cars. There are some of them to select from. Maybe, around 10. I do not count. But you can select a color. And, mainly, they are here rather different. And bright. About a brightness game takes a first place! Cool arcade!

 It is possible to set options for opponents. What car they will ride. Or, what car class they will use. Amount of them. Difficulty level. There are some options, you know. And, good three dimensional graphics. Arcade style. It is very burning cool game! Example of how to make arcade racing games. For me. I like a lot Need for Speed the second, simply like it a lot!

Maybe, third part continues of success started with second part. But, maybe, it makes it, different attitude. But, this way key, yes. Something else, and something new. But, now, it is about a second part. By the way, special edition. It is so remarkable!  It is honorable!


I remember a race amongst the trees. So, you have a ride in the forest. Somekind. So, it is even a thing that trees there are upon your head. Wow! Or race in the snow mountains. Unexpectedly, it is snowing here! And, everything is in a snow! Or circle track like Nascar. As roadside. Wow! So, before the lighting it is such a theme. It is set a mood tempo to a race! Cool arcade. As cool and stylish action movie! Excellent example of a genre!

So, I with a pleasure make a circles in my weekend. And, especially, during their summer. At the countryside. To have a good mood. I make a several circles. And, go next. And, all time, I go back and make a new circle. And more!

 And cars have a different behavior on the road. And, so, you have certain cool things for selection. So here it is Ferrari. So, this is Lamborghini. So, this is a sport car selection! This game made my summer 2024! It was so arcade bright and colorful! So, I can say, it goes for change some kind, dark and gothic and industrial second Quake! Second Need for Speed! Good weather and fast car – this is a thing you really need!

It is not very funny, of course, to hit the buildings at the big speed or in a road border. But it can happen here. So, it is better to use brakes in corners. To lower speed. No need to forget about pedal of brakes! And not only push gas pedal! But nothing to worry - it is arcade.

So, it is easy thing to lost several seconds. To speed up, it is fast. And you go again. First, several seconds you are so flashing at the road. Something like invisible. And you can even though opponents. As in good arcade racing games. Cool feature!

Little music is cool here! So, I start in 2024 my Need for Speed!

 


Quake 2

Quake it is a legendary videogame, of course! It is well made shooter. Three dimensional. Amazing. And rather dark. It is with the spirit of Doom. But with new attitude. Bu it is, also, about full darkness. Industrial bases, someplace - it is gothic architecture. There are few of sunlight here. But, cold of the walls instead, you find here. And enemies. Somekind, half robots, half biologic species. Half humans, half machines. And with the result – you cannot expect from these places something good. And you are a  silence player. You are walking the maze. Of enemy base. You are at the enemy territory. So, it is not about to make a jokes. Theme of a second Quake - it is something like cool action movie! With heap of cyborgs!

And, you are main hero. It is not so easy! There are tasks here. And, you need to read what to do. What to find. You can go back by the map. So, this means, you will walk the different locations. And there are passages between them. And, by game, you will go back too. And, of course, move forward. So, you can be little lost here. Yes, labyrinths are not so wide, they are not big. But, there are here, rather, darkness and, rather, some enemies, which are dangerous! And, while, you just simply move forwards though the fire. You can to forget something. Or miss something. It is so easy here.


Quake – it is dangerous. And shooting. Machinegun even cannot to save you a lot here. Yes, it is cool thing. But, when it will start to work. So, I can say, to warm up. It will pass some time. And, it is better to have something more fast. Or good and old shotgun. Or, there is some weapon - more interesting types! Machinegun is not so reliable! And, it adds some dangerous!

And, this is a nice point, that you, always, can go far and do a save! I do it this way! Well, you know. Cold wash, I take, I can say.

Graphics is good. With my game version, there are even a high resolutions. It is Windows Xp or Vista computer. And graphics do everything  for atmosphere. It is even a cool graphics. It is red colored sky. Which, sometimes, you can see before your eyes. I remember it so a lot. So, walking in the darkness. Searching for the light. And, so, it is. Red or orange colored sky. But, it is not looks like very kind.  And, of course, - lots of enemies. How different they can be - it is big surprise. Most different somekind of robots, cyborgs, borgs. Who they are. It is not big thing to get to know. There are lots of them!

Sometimes, they have a scary look. And, sometimes, they are rather robotized monsters. They are clever in someway. They can do some moves. To sit down. To walk aside. And, they can wait in a corner!


Season of Quake. 2023, 2024. I played from time to time. But, in summer I take a decision to change theme. For something more positive and funny! But, it is excellent three dimensional shooter. Of course, I need to complete walkthrough!

To be continued. I will talk more about little games, I played!
