    I heard my Nokia getting a text message through the distortion in the speakers by just looking at this photo

      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.

    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.

    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.

        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.

    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!

    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

      There was a function in WORD, where ants could walk around your text…

          Basically it was just a dotted line around your text. But in German it was called something like “ant platoon / queue” or such. I think this function existed between Word2000 und Word2007 if I Google correctly.
