Casimir Radon posted:I can't really estimate how much time I wasted on Newgrounds. I was a kid so I couldn't afford to buy games all the time, and Newgrounds seemed really edgy. Funny considering that flash is on the way out and all this stuff could easily disappear forever. The day when I've discovered the program to download the swf files was great. I could finally download all those "kill celebrity (or Bin Laden) games. There was a fighting game where you could make your own character by swapping various torsos, heads etc. so you could have Optimus Prime with dual lightsabers and Blade's trenchcoat. When the very first Alien Hominid game was released, I couldn't believe how they could squeeze so much animation and fluid controls into the thing.

i will never experience a greater upgrade in gaming experience than these two things added to my little Pentium 120 (OC'd to 133) i also maintained a stable 10% overclock on the voodoo by sticking a passive heatsink to the tmu

MDK for PC in the 90s seemed to run pretty well on even relatively modest systems at the time. I never played more than the demo, though, and have little idea how well it held up over the last 20 years.

WebDog posted:Someone had released a cobbled together version of After Dark which had .dlls spliced in from newer versions. Instead of it being integrated into Windows like before it effectively ran minimised in the taskbar. What we really need is a screen saver that runs a VM in VirtualBox that runs After Dark I think I have a really old version of After Dark on floppies (or even just 1) somewhere, I think it was designed for Windows 3.x so it's not going to run on my 64-bit system!

It still feels satisfying to turn off a computer at that screen, especially if it's got a big rear end industrial power button that takes a ton of force to push. The same computer had a zip drive (a state of the art 100mb internal zip drive at that) and except for a replacement hard drive and cpu fan that sucker still runs just fine. Once in a blue moon when my friends and I party we'll sometimes get some old rear end computers together, including that one, and have a Starcraft 1 lan party.

Damnit I haven't quoted instead of editing in probably 5+ years. Get another excuse to post an old internet/computer relic then I suppose: Some Ultima Online action to compliment all the Everquest stuff I saw several pages back. FYI I still play every now and then on a private shard, so if anyone is ever interested hit me up or google UOSA (Ultima Online Second Age) because it kicks rear end and is of course 100% free.

Back in the day when Quake was still new and people were still fingering iD software developer .plans, I got the wild idea to take the ip hostnames in the header and plugging those into a browser. I found a web server with binaries for an internal pre-release Quakeworld build on a workstation (I think Barret Alexander's, I can't remember), unpassworded. I played on their test servers for a day or two before I actually told one of them what happened, and the binaries were put behind a password. They were quite cool about it and I still got to play for a few more days until they moved onto a new build.

i played a bunch of Little Fighter 2 with a friend from 2003-2006 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Fighter_2 it was great for a rudimentary beatem up game. you could set "war" matches where you'd have 64 characters on each side, just running at each other for the few weapons in the middle of the map. i found out a couple years ago that there was a 3, but it wanted to install a billion toolbars and whatever. was a bummer to see something i cherished fall to that level.

Did you have something like this in the States? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_r6XJi9EOE Basically it was a TV show where you dialled in and if you were lucky you got to play that Hugo game on air by pressing number pad buttons on your phone. Speaking of hybrid multimedia, during the late 90s some TV channels expanded their Teletext service to include classified ads. And the way you put in an ad was interesting - you dialed a premium phone number, tuned to a specific Teletext page and used the number pad on your phone to enter text. During the rise of SMS messaging there were also Teletext chat pages where you sent a SMS to a certain number and it would show up on a page like this:

Nerdy as poo poo but also nostalgic as poo poo This became the bane of my existence when my aunt bought a new Packard Bell back in the mid-90s. Instead of going through the normal Windows shutdown process, I just hit the power button. You know, like you would on a TV set. The next time it booted up, my aunt was greeted with a kaleidoscope of screwed up colors. Never found out what was wrong with it (and it was eventually fixed), but my aunt was pretty upset and my mother banned me from ever using that computer.

pre:==Phrack Inc.== Volume One, Issue 7, Phile 3 of 10 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The following was written shortly after my arrest... \/\The Conscience of a Hacker/\/ by +++The Mentor+++ Written on January 8, 1986 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"... drat kids. They're all alike. But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a hacker, enter my world... Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me... drat underachiever. They're all alike. I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..." drat kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike. I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me... Or thinks I'm a smart rear end... Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here... drat kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike. And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all... drat kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike... You bet your rear end we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us will- ing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert. This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike. +++The Mentor+++

Nerdy as poo poo but also nostalgic as poo poo Did abruptly turning the computer off pose any real threat of damaging it? I remember my uncle yelling at me for holding the button down on his computer to turn it off. I always put it in the same bullshit category as my grandma telling me I was going to break her TV by turning the channels too fast

If the hard drive hadn't spun down then there was a danger of data loss or corruption. Older file systems weren't as robust, and losing the file allocation table could hose an entire install.

If you google "After Dark XP" you'll find a version of 3.0 that works for any OS with 16bit support. I suppose it might be feasible to install AD on an XP VM and run it through Unity to get your beloved toasters back. Some of the other modules like The Simpsons were pretty awesome, the Itchy and Scratchy fight was amusing as it had old 3.11 icons mixed in with modern ones. There's a registry tweak required to get AD 4.0 to work on 64bit systems.
