Man, this brings back memories. I remember playing Monster Truck Madness as a kid, that being my first exposure to the very concept of monster trucks, and thinking how super cool that was, as well as actually doing some school art projects and the like with Picture It. That was actually a pretty nice piece of software, even though the Comic Sans UI with sound effects and tutorial-like workflow was getting awkward really quick once you got a hang of things.

I remember that Windows 98 SE CD includes in the "Interactive CD-Sampler" tour demos from Monster Truck Madness (the game that you played in French edition), Motocross Madness, C.A.R.T. Precision Racing and Age of Empires 2. And the irony of all that is I got the Windows 98 SE CD in Spanish and all the "trial editions" are in English. Anyway, that old memories with Monster Truck Madness.

[@thealien_ali3382]

I like hairy men

[@presidentkiller]

That happened with almost every Microsoft CD-ROM that included a CD Sampler. They were all in English. They couldn't be bothered with translating all that material, trial software included. MS is also notorious for crippling non-English versions of their products. For example, the Encarta Atlas 97 had a Timeline feature that was never included at least on the Spanish version, but both the English and Spanish versions were the same price. Nowadays they keep doing that. Check the differences between your local Bing homepage and the U.S. version and you'll see.

Thanks for watching! I definitely want to continue the Compaq Portable Saga.

[@Mini-z1994]

@@MichaelMJD You can change camera on Monster Truck Madness with pressing V D is for just toggling dashboard/hud, can also toggle specific camera views with pressing ctrl 1 - 8, there's even a blimp camera. Sound issues you might be able too fix altering advanced sound settings but the game can have random issues with certain sound chipsets & devices unfortunately. Also the game has a cd soundtrack that's imo pretty good if you keep the cd in & change it in the settings too use the cd. They are uploaded on KZbin on a playlist called " Monster Truck Madness OST " if you just want to listen too them. Kind of neat how the installer & game is built in such a universal way you can install it on windows 7 just fine & run it as is as well. Monster truck madness 2, has mods & a community patch if you feel like exploring that game a bit. Same with Midtown Madness 2 custom cars & cities, great multiplayer gamemodes on that game as well like capture the flag essentially called cops & robbers. Also any plans on perhaps moving this pc too a new case so you can get rid of that awful powersupply that will at some point take the system with it ? & how did the cpu upgrade go on this ? Did you ever get the 133 mhz fsb cpu too work or did you get a 100 mhz fsb cpu too run in this instead ? I'd go for a pentium III 700 mhz cpu based on the coppermine architechture. if you google cpuworld socket 370 you'll find a list of processors for the socket.

[@MichaelMJD]

@@Mini-z1994 Thanks for the info! As for the 98 PC, I'd like to keep in in its original case, but changing the power supply is something I'd definitely want to do. I have upgraded the CPU to a 733MHz Pentium 3 back in 2020, but the motherboard caps the speed at 600 MHz.
