I remember the first time playing Delta Force and accidentally killing myself with an explosive barrel and I got the message "Mak0rz got tired of life" and I thought it was pretty funny. We also did a mission where we had to get on a helicopter at the end. When I first saw it I started to shoot at it (I can't remember if I was just loving around or if I thought it was an enemy) but I stopped once I realized it was the mission goal. When inside you were able to look around and chat for a few seconds while the chopper was flying off before the mission ended. I looked at the floor and fired a single pistol bullet. Little did I know I earlier shot up the helicopter to just a couple of hitpoints from annihilation. It went up in flames and we failed the mission. Thankfully my teammates thought it was hilarious. Delta Force owned.

Iron Crowned posted:A working Jaguar? To this day I have a couple of brand new Jaguars in my garage with CD (toilet) attachments. I also have a Virtual boy for that matter too. One new in box but the other in a foam lined form fitting hard case from Blockbuster that I picked up in the 90s for something like $25 when they were dumping them. I should fire it up for the hell of it.

Holy poo poo, that's a blast from the past. There was some public access channel in Edmonton that had some 30 minute program about HOME COMPUTERS and it was sort of a talk show format where they had a guest and the host would interview and take calls from viewers. The viewers were generally 6-14 year old boys that only wanted to ask which computer had better graphics, the Commodore 64 or Apple II. Or Coleco ADAM the odd time.

Anyone remember Homestead website builder? There were so many 'my family!' websites - do these exist anymore? Like modern versions, or are they all pretty much blogs, or melted into being Facebook now? Geocities, tripod, yahoo [and it's groups], angel fire and lycos [black labrador as their mascot?] Chatrooms! I remember being part of the official website Stargate SG1 chatroom years ago, no idea how I got into it either as I never saw the drat program, I think I was just amazed I managed to get into a chatroom back then. It was weird, the main SG1 website had 'games' (clickable little gifs/ .swfs?) and you got points/currency for stuff. Strange what you remember....

It's amazing how dumb MSN messenger sounds today, but at the time it was cutting edge [socially]. I always loved the folks who would download MSN plus. Plus would allow for things such as coloured usernames, and to anyone who would not have plus, this would appear as gibberish code. Mess.be was a MSN HAX website, although most were soft 'hacks'. Such as disabling 'winks ' which were ANNOYING forced animations on your chat window which were initiated by the person you were chatting to (and could absolutely be abused)

blugu64 posted:Bring back the blink tag Won't somebody think of the epileptics? ashgromnies posted:You clearly didn't use Windows 95 much. Back then, developers were kind of dicks and the DLL search order wasn't as refined and separate between system and application as it is today, so applications would install THEIR versions of DLLs into the Windows system directory, occasionally horribly breaking things. I used 95 from when it came out until XP came out, and on my 95 machine I ran 3 different web servers (Microsoft Personal Web Server, O'Reilly Website and Apache), an IRC server, a DNS server (maybe under Cygwin), and somehow was still able to surf the web and run mIRC. 95 wouldn't boot after I uninstalled some dodgy software that Microsoft sent me as a reward for having  on my home page, so between the broken (beta?) software I hackily removed and the stuff that was meant to be there, it was definitely a miracle it worked. But maybe I just didn't generally install software that was as lovely as everyone else who was re-installing 95 all the time. I know everyone said it would improve your performance to re-install but I couldn't be hosed having to re-install all the 100 different programs I used occasionally.Man, XP was such a huge improvement, and Cygwin was so bad under 95.

I remember people perceiving those blue gradients as really cutting edge because Windows 95 only had flat colour toolbars. It's funny how much gradients featured in late 90's design generally. I guess actual textures used up too many resources or something.

I was stuck with Windows 95 for ages and thought these gradients were so cool. Then came along the blue XP bar.......
