I have two physical copies, I own it on steam, and it is the reason I learn how to bootleg games so that I could give a copy of it to all of my friends.

A couple years ago I recycled a whole bunch of laptops and loaded each one up with a version of Windows 10 that I hacked into submission specifically to play this game. Each device is loaded with a connection to a talescale VPN and a few games that we used to play in high school.

Warlords 3, Warcraft 3 (and TFT), unreal tournament, quake 3, MechWarrior two mercenaries, metal fatigue, command & conquer Red alert 2 (and Yuri’s revenge), age of empires 2 with all the fixins, civilization 3, and some childhood magic like the windows entertainment pack, space cadet pinball, a bunch of emulators and roms, and some dos classics like DX ball and epic pinball.

I sent everybody an Xbox controller too.

Honestly, The thing we play the most of together is probably Quake 3.

Since these laptops ‘just work’ they’ve become the default gaming console for many of the kids too. I’m a video game Evangelist.
