Do you have AOE 2 HD?

Not yet, any good?

I still play the conquerors add-on online every weekend on Voobly.com. Thousands of people online there.

He can cancel it and do it next year (or never) if he wants to, quit bugging him.

I won that book in 2006, thanks again.

You paid $1.50 for a very common game that is over 10 years old and you think it will be valuable?????

Open it if you intend to play it, should be a very fun game.

Thousands if you count downloads, a few dozen if you mean legit media.

I mostly just grab the games I want to play (preferable boxed), the downloads just sit on the HD.

All my 5.25" media still works, even ones I got that looked a bit moldy from somebodies basement. Can't say the same for 3.5" media that is much newer. I have never seen a USB 5.25" drive, USB and 3.5" overlapped for years but 5.25" was dead an burried before USB came out. F...

Get yourself an old IBM Thinkpad 486 or early pentium with 640x480 TFT color screen and stereo sound. They are built like tanks and have very nice screens (I have a dozen or so units of various models). You will not get 10 hours on use even on a new battery (2.5 is the best you can hope for), run it...

Good time to fire up the old DOS Apogee games.

The conquerors for me, played it hundreds of times online over the years before The Zone was taken down by MS.

Why would creative worry about any other sound card maker these days, they are the only choice.

How much does it cost to make a phone call using a payphone in the UK? Why would you smash it to pieces even if you could get away with it? Other people could have needed to use that phine in an emergency, and the people of that area will have to pay to get a new one. Causing quite a bit of damage f...

I think it might have been a google search for the best dos video card that found a past here. Way back when there were hardware topics here.

I have a legit copy of Starcraft and the add-ons, its a fun game. The best RTS game in my opinion is still Age of Empires 2. While Starcraft II looks interesting, most of the RTS lately are all eye candy with small maps that don't have very many units on them. Look at how many 2D enemies were in a r...

Outside of ancient CGA/TGA games that I play on a Tandy 1000HX, I stick to a 486/66VLB or my pentium 200MMX. I retired my 386/40 and will probably use it for old Apps and programming. Never seen a reason to use a 286 so I don't have one.

What processor platform do you use to play your games?

People trying to inflate postcounts to feel important happens all over. I hate postcount because of the people writing "me too" posts to get ahead. Better off without it.
