๐Ÿ”ฅ Real 486 PC Running Duke Nukum 2.0 โ€” No DOSBox, No Emulation, Just Authentic Retro Gaming

This isn't an emulator. This is my actual 486 PC, booting straight into MS-DOS, launching Windows 95 from the command line, and firing up Duke Nukem 2.0 โ€” the shareware king from Apogee โ€” just like I did in college when I was supposed to be writing term papers.

๐ŸŽฎ Real hardware ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ CRT monitor ๐Ÿ”Š Case speaker sound ๐Ÿ’พ CompactFlash hard drive (because I love floppies, but Duke deserves better load times)

If you remember CGA graphics, case beeps, and late-night gaming sessions instead of studying... this one's for you.

BOOM.

๐Ÿ‘‡ What should I play next on this 486? Doom? Commander Keen? Drop it in the comments!

๐Ÿ‘‡ ABOUT THIS CHANNEL ๐Ÿ‘‡

Hey, it's Tom from Texas, and here's why I do what I doโ€” Floppy Deep Dive is all about real hardware, real nostalgia, and keeping the 8-bit magic alive. I make these videos for the folks who grew up on crackling CRTs, spent Saturdays swapping floppies, and still smile when the SID chip kicks in. This isn't about "who wins" or which frame is crispierโ€”it's about reliving the era, having fun with these weird and wonderful games, and building a community that appreciates the quirks, the charm, and yes, even the "craptacular" moments of classic computing. If that's your vibe, you're in the right place. If notโ€ฆ there's always TikTok. Thanks for watching, supporting, and keeping the retro flame burning. BOOM!
