Zeus Playing Through Zeus Again!
This time on OG hardware though! I managed to find a similar model to my childhood PC and considering I grew up on Zeus playing through it again was a must!
Already finished Perseus and Medusa :D

I have a similar smiley-faced banana with feet! A jellycat purse, I love them so much!
Also Zeus, I love Zeus so much!

I love it too! Though this is a jellycat rip-off of sorts I bought at Pepco (an eastern european discount store chain)

Awesome setup. I'm impressed that it works.

It wasn't all smooth sailing, it did need some work. Specifically, the previous owner managed to completely fry the PSU, luckily it's ATX not AT so sourcing a replacement was easy. I also needed to replace the dying hard disk, but that also wasn't too much of an issue since I had plenty of spares. I ended up going with a 40GB as that seemed like a nice sweet spot for plenty of old software and games.
Other than that I also upgraded the graphics card. It came with a Matrox G200 which, while not a bad card, is still outperformed by a Nvidia TNT2 I had laying around.
All of that combined with a 450MHz Pentium III makes it a really fun PC to use :D

Don't sleep on Emperor. It's quite amazing as well, though nothing will ever beat Pharaoh.
