i appreciate the convenience of launchers taking care of installation and setup without hassle in the background, but i do miss when installers hyped the game sometimes. seeing warheads being readied, hearing marching steps while the game was installing was a pretty cool way to build anticipation. it helped that the game was awesome, of course.
I heard my Nokia getting a text message through the distortion in the speakers by just looking at this photo
Dun dudun dun dudun dun dudun duuuuuuuuuuun.
My now over 20 years old self built rig still runs. It’s a time capsule, running winxp with photoshop 7. It has Winamp and all my old music. And it has games like red alert 2 and generals zero hour.
You’re welcome.
I actually got this from the snap store on Ubuntu
Amazing

Never played C&C on its time, but I play some games of ORA every now and then. Not bad at all I must admit.

Many of the older games suffer from bad graphics but the game play still holds up. I played OpenRA with some friends at a good old fashioned LAN party when we all didn’t have computers that could play the latest games or budget issues to purchase the latest games. We set up in different rooms to form teams and it was super fun. A side benefit is that nobody had all the maps, hints and cheats memorized so we were on equal footing.
Westwood studios was a treasure
Anyone else remember their Blade Runnder game?
Dairy and dairy products are class 2 contraband
While everyone was in Tristram, I was spending my teenage nights playing NOX
Nah dude, Daggerfall. Daggerfall Unity is the best of both modern and old school, especially with the DREAM mod.
RA and RA2 were so awesome.
Yuri’s Revenge with the Devastator mod.
I personally think Yuri’s Revenge brought about a bit too much mechanical cheese, and prefer vanilla RA2 - but I won’t begrudge a fellow fan their preferences!

It’s like they were doing their best Sean Connery impressions

Fight! Win! Prevail!
Awesome! Love your period hardware. I have a complete XP setup, but I would love a 95/98 setup. No more room.
I did install 86Box last week, though! And installed 98SE. I was also partying like it’s 1996 with Microsoft Hellbender!
Can we play Age of Empires after this?
Wololo
Don’t point that thing at me!
Age of Empires Il still has a very active scene with new content all the time. In fact there’s a new expansion dropping this week!
Is AOE 2 the one where you could use a cheat code to spawn in a blue sportscar with a machine gun on the front?
I seem to half-remember taking a few of those into France a few times lol.
It is. But there was a black sportscar in AoE 1, as well. And a laser gun warrior and a similar looking dude shooting miniature nuclear missiles.
It is
Whaaaat?
How do you turn this on
I still hope theres copies of the takes that didnt make it if thats the best one
Ah, decoding the morse code at the back of the counterstrike manual to find the instructions for unlocking the secret ant missions. I think it involved clicking on the speaker looking thing in the top right of the menu while pressing shift
Gonna go fire up Wing Commander 2.
Wasn’t there a thing where if you clicked on the speaker in the top right corner you could play against ants or something
That was part of the counterstrike expansion.
There was a function in WORD, where ants could walk around your text…
Say what, now? Like Microsoft Word?
It’s weird this picture looks like it shouldn’t be this high resolution.
It’s new.
Oh, not denying its legitimacy. Just not used to such a high quality picture of such an old machine.
