In honour of Eurogamer - our partner website - reaching its 20th anniversary, we decided to honour its birthday by revisiting some of the most classic and interesting games of 1999, running them on a vintage retro PC with Coppermine Pentium, plus Voodoo 2 and Riva TNT2 Pro graphics cards!

Here's our parts list - this would have been a pretty hardcore state of the art PC for 1999:

CPU: Intel Pentium III 700 Mhz Coppermine Slot 1 version (0.18 μm fabrication process) with 133MHz FSB
Mainboard: Biostar M6VBE motherboard
Memory: 384MB RAM
Primary Display Adapter: ELSA Erazor III TNT2 Pro graphics card
Secondary Display Adapter: 3DFX Voodoo 2 12MB
Sound Card: Sound Blaster PCI sound card
Storage: 20GB IDE HDD
