I could be mistaken but I'm not sure most people in 2026 have the attention spans for slow paced story games with lots of dialogue. At least, not enough for mass market appeal. A lot of gamers can't even stomach driving to missions in GTA or having to walk around camp in RDR2.

Pay attention to what drivers are available for each OS. In particular, it can be difficult to find DOS sound drivers that work well with something that new. You can install Windows 98 and use it to boot to DOS as needed although I have personally found 98's DOS mode configuration to be awkward to use. In these situations, I tend to use system commander to dual boot with a small DOS 6.22 partition: https://winworldpc.com/product/system-commander/2000-5x

Yes, there a concept of "pseudonymous" data in some of the guidance, which refers to anonymous data which, when taken together, could identify the person - even if some of that data is not held by the data controller. Under those circumstances seemingly anonymous data can fall under the regulation although most companies are very unlikely to consider such nuance in their data policies.

I have found that the new adapters you can buy are very unreliable. I ended up buying a 20 y/o USB 2.0 dock on eBay and that seems to work with every drive I throw at it.

This functionality was implemented with a single cable select wire which is connected or open. I don't see how a twist would work electrically.

Surprised there is no mention of the eXoDOS collection here. It has thousands of DOS games that run through a launcher with tuned emulation settings for each title.

Personally, I like playing with real hardware but this is probably the best option right now for a jukebox style experience on a modern PC.

Former DPO here. The "right to be forgotten" doesn't actually mean they have to delete the content of your posts unless it renders you identifiable. Anonymisation is more or less equivalent to deletion under the GDPR, which is why they can get away with replacing usernames with [deleted] when you delete your account.
