Hey guys, I've always liked to benchmark Socket 7 machines and wanted to find a benchmark tool to replicate 2D RTS style games. I've written a little command line benchmark tool I'd love you guys to test (if possible on real hardware!).

I've also created a website where people can submit their score, if your 98 machine has network access then you can submit directly.

Would love some feedback.

I've been working on some retro benchmark software recently for DOS/Win9x machines and decided to port it to MacOS classic/68k and would love you guys to test it!

I've tested on my LC 475 with full 68040/FPU and MacOS 7.5.5 and also on Mac 9.2.1 in a VM.

It can be a bit slow to run but it would be great if some people to test it and give me any feedback.

Hey Guys,

I've written a little benchmark program for Win9x and would love some people to try it on real hardware. It is designed to replicate 2D RTS style performance profile of the late 90s games (e.g Starcraft).

If your Win98 machine is connected to the internet it can also (optionally) submit to a small online database: https://starrts.vogonswiki.com/

If anyone has a Cyrix machine to test that would be cool!
