Retro Gaming on PC - The Gateway to Fun

As per my prior blog post, I'm attempting to re-enjoy all the old classic 90's PC games. In that post, I mentioned using an old laptop running Windows 7. Well as luck would have it, something special has been donated to me. Check this thing out -- the Gateway Profile 4. It's a complete all-in-one Windows XP machine with a built-in LCD monitor, 3.5" floppy drive, DVD drive, speakers, Pentium 4, and....that's about all I know at this point. It may need a bit of repair. My best guess is that Gateway was trying to come up with something to compete with the all-in-one Apple iMac of the time. I think it's from about 2002.

I'll keep this blog updated as I progress in repairing this thing, and also how it does with the old games that I have.

To be continued...
