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

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
Take me back.
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!
/me pops in some Master of Orion 2
Hell, yeah! Anyone willing to lug their Bigtower+CRT over? I got heaps of thin ethernet (you know? the one with the BNC connectors and Terminators) ready to party.
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.
I play AoE these days because it has - relatively speaking - more real units. I do wish there was an AoE or C&C type game that used just realistic troops and vehicles and such. Seems like we have the computing power these days for a much larger-scale area of battle where you could command troops and vehicles over a small city sized map. Still RTS with fog of war and such… Maybe better simulated behaviours for the troops. But command your groups of military to go take out targets or attack positions and take terrain and such...
Seems like it'd be awesome, but nobody has done it.
It's the yeeooww pew de pew pew pew pew ... kachunk ... chop chop chop fwosh KAPOW that I'm reminded of.
Oh god I just remember my soldiers getting turned into mutant worm things

Wasn't there a thing where if you clicked on the speaker in the top right corner you could play against ants or something

Nah dude, Daggerfall. Daggerfall Unity is the best of both modern and old school, especially with the DREAM mod.
Still have mine in a shoebox somewhere

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.
