But Nvidia is doing something truly bizarre to help meet skyrocketing demand for video cards. According to PC World, Nvidia is reviving the GTX 1050Ti, an entry-level video card that had largely been replaced over the past two years....

This allows each of the nineteen games, released over close to forty years, to feel nostalgic and understandable for players who are already familiar with the series....
