I completely agree. Seeing your handle reminds me of all the glorious time spent with friends playing Twisted Metal II, Diablo and Rogue Trip on PS. Biggest inconvenience of those days was the length of the controller cables...
Corsair cable worked like a charm and everything seems to be working great. Just need to print off a support brace for the card as the included one was too tall for my chasis.
ModDIY custom cable with integrated 90-degree (3x8-pin) hasn't done me wrong for the past 9 months or so. You tell them PSU make/model, sense pin and clip orientation (up or down), sleeving type and length and its built to spec. Going to be more...
The oldest gamer I know is my dad at 79 years old. He plays Skyrim and other fantasy type games like that.
Back in 92/93, he bought a 486 PC and played a lot of the Ultima games.
I hope that's successful. the bad reviews were not about the game itself.. I hate it when people give bad reviews based on external forces or circumstances which relate to the product but are not specific to the product.
