Sadly, despite being faster than VPC, they were discontinued as expansion slot-less computers (like the iMac) took over (and more Mac ports of PC games became available). Unless I really wanted to play Minesweeper or some early DOS game, let's face it.I was out of luck.īut I found out a far more awesome example.things called PC cards. It had previously made the Virtual Game Station (a commercial PlayStation emulator) that seemed to run OK, so why couldn't VPC open a world of games I never knew? Unfortunately, my family never bought it, and one of the reasons became painfully clear: it was much slower than an actual PC. It was a product called Connectix Virtual PC with a promise to put a virtual PC in your Mac. I didn't mind it.the graceful Macintosh was a lot cooler looking than the Windows flavors available at the time, except with one minor difficulty.īy the time I actually came to this sad truth, there was only one option other than getting a full PC. When I was younger, my family only used Macs.
This is about something ENTIRELY different.
This is NOT about the PC-FX, the Japan-only sequel to the TurboGrafx-16.
