Are nvidia cards good enough for ASCII games?

There are many top games with ASCII graphics, but I fear that nvdia
cards cannot handle these games since I had problems running
Pacman,Ms.Pacman, Dig Dug and Moon Patrol on nvidia cards.

So I fear that Rogue probably won´t run.

Any suggestions ?

Invest in a good ISA based CGA card for those demanding, high performance
8bit games.

As for playing Rogue... what card family are you talking about ?

There's only one _right_ set up for Rogue--a VAX with a VT100 and BSD.
Should be able to get a great Rogue setup off of ebay for under 50 bucks.

well well, what a question....

I guess it has it's limitations regarding resolution, but most depends
on software/emulation and alike....I am sure good settings and good
emulation software can make things work just fine!
