I remember being very scared of most of the ... everything in the journeyman project turbo as a child. Mind you, I was used to computer games only being edutainment at that point in my life, but when I got older and dug the ~*486*~ out of the basement to play it, it was awesome.  I bought it a year ago or so on GoG but I never managed to finish it. I just don't have the sense to save often.

Back in the early-mid 2000s I was trying to teach myself programming. Just BASIC was too limited and C++ was too hard, so I wanted to try Delphi. It seemed like everything was written in it at the time but my pirate friend of a friend told me it was too big and expensive to get. Back to Dev-C++ I guess  Just now I noticed that bloodshed.net, which used to host Dev-C++, is expired. Anyone know what happened to Bloodshed Software?

To add another layer, MAME can emulate a PC/Mac that runs MAME.

Delphi was nice, even though I never did anything serious with it. Pascal is a better language than BASIC for sure, but Microsoft backed BASIC so Visual Basic still kicks on, and Delphi is still made but I never hear about it. Maybe it's popular in business software or something. quote:Just now I noticed that bloodshed.net, which used to host Dev-C++, is expired. Anyone know what happened to Bloodshed Software? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dev-C%2B%2B mentions some forks, at least one is alive (well it was updated almost 12 months ago). It also has this fact: quote:On May 4, 2015, The Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong posted his Sudoku solver program in C++ on Facebook. In his screen shot, he's using Microsoft Windows and Dev-C++ as his IDE. A FUCKIN CANARY!! posted:To add another layer, MAME can emulate a PC/Mac that runs MAME. Computer relics - It's emulators all the way down!

Sudoku-solving reminded me of that one brilliant youtube where some guy demonstrates a programming language by writing a sudoku-solver in like ten lines. Anyone remember what I'm talking about - I bet it was from the SA forum that I first found the link? e: OK found it just after I posted that. It's not ten lines but anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmT80OseAGs 3D Megadoodoo has a new favorite as of 14:26 on Apr 24, 2016 |

I didn't really know what was going on in that video, I don't really get functional programming, particularly not when they use non-ASCII characters for the operators  Unrelated: So I wanted to install Python on my Windows 98 SE VM. The last version of Python that works on 9x is 2.5.4. It's shipped as a .msi file. All the links on Microsoft's site, and to Microsoft's site, for downloading Windows Installer for 9x are broken. Wikipedia says Office 2000 includes Windows Installer 1.0, so I fired up the Office 2000 installer but cancelled out of it, but that version of Windows Installer is too old. So I searched the web and my CD tower and eventually looked at the backup of one of my old PCs to see if I'd ever installed anything that had installed Windows Installer on 9x. Sure enough I had a PC I dual-booted XP and 98 SE on, and I didn't do much with 98 SE, but it did have Windows Installer 2.0 installed somehow. I found a Windows Installer log file in the temporary directory which said I had installed Nokia PC Suite 5.8 (another computer relic!), and sure enough when I fire that installer up on 98 SE, and then cancel out, now I have Windows Installer 2.0 and I can install Python 2.5.4. The cool bit was I found my stash of Java games for old Nokia feature phones. Well for a few seconds I thought it was cool and then I thought better of going down that rabbit warren. I hope you all enjoyed (experienced schadenfreude while reading) my little story.

I think if I read this thread long enough I will start to understand the appeal of emulating older versions of operating systems. I mean, if emulating Windows 95 actually sent you back to 1995, then I would get it (I do understand emulating other types of computers. And MS-DOS, even though everyone should just have their own DOS machine) Humphreys posted:Anyone remember the days when winamp skins (and other program skins) were a big deal? I just checked out a site I haven't been to in over a decade and its still going strong! At least, that is the only way I can explain how I went from being just like you, constantly downloading JUST THE RIGHT SKIN FOR MY PLAYER/GRAPHIC EQUALIZER/PLAYLIST setup to suddenly forgetting about the very concept of skins entirely. Oh they have a great section on the just-completed Super Bowl XLVI though http://skinz.org/football/super-bowl-xlvi-wallpapers.html mng posted:I still use Winamp and have been since like 1999.

Holy poo poo, I had this back in the day! Unfortunately it would always crash at some point through the game so I never finished it. I though it was pretty neat.

I still use this site time to time when I come across the rare win98 machine still running out there. http://www.oldversion.com Here is the winamp page. http://www.oldversion.com/windows/winamp/ Yes, some people still use windows 98, mostly grandmas though. "I just use the internet TV to look at the mails and cats". If it works, it works.

I was about 8-9 when I saw this in PC gaming mags and I thought it would be a fully 3D experience. How naive I was. Come to think of that, has anyone made a fully explorable Titanic? I'm still waiting on that poo poo.

I remember playing some 1000 games CD and some game was like a platformer maybe? where there was a room that was like just a giant neon sign of a woman with hard nipples and my quite young self found it some mix of memorable / better not let anyone see me playing this. No loving clue what game that was.

Sitting on the bookshelf between Steven King's F13 and The Beverly Hills 90210 CD-ROM. They're my wife's, okay? simosimo posted:I was about 8-9 when I saw this in PC gaming mags and I thought it would be a fully 3D experience. How naive I was. My wife was about 20 when she saw this in a store and thought it would be a fully 3D experience. How naive we were. This seems like the equivalent of kids in the eras before computers buying X-ray glasses out of a magazine. I like how Wikipedia has to explain the joke: "besides the unlikelihood of a safe and functional X-ray device selling for about a dollar, X-ray detectors require an X-ray source". 8 track betamax posted:have you perhaps heard of an niche indie game ccalled "mine craft"? Oh yeah of course, should have realized. I suppose there are also 3 different Minecraft mods which will make a ship you built sink in 2 hours and 40 minutes.

I liked Titanic: Adventure Out Of Time. But like another poster said, it crashed at a certain point for me too and was a general mess to play on my old computer for some reason. The wacky overdramatic voice acting was the best. I can still hear the main character's butler/steward saying "Have a touch of the Mal de Mer" with a terrible accent

Buttcoin purse posted:I didn't search the AOL files dump for porn until I had already stumbled across what turned out to be the only files with "porn" in their names: Well for anyone who missed it (like me), DHS kind of answered part of my question a few days later: quote:The Department of Homeland Security's United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team, or US-CERT, said in an alert on Thursday that the bugs put users at heightened risks from viruses and other security threats since Apple was ending support for the product. So remember, only view QuickTime VR porn in the safety of a virtual machine from now on! I finally installed QuickTime 7.2 (just a version I had lying around) on a Windows XP VM and yes, the QuickTime VR porn does "work". I was wondering if they had somehow filmed with multiple viewing angles, but that seemed unlikely, and no, it certainly wasn't what I was expecting: it's actually presented as a still image, and when you put your cursor in the movie it turns into a hand, the type you can grab with, and you can drag and move the hand up and down which you'd expect to pan the movie, but instead you're meant to pan up and down rapidly to make the girl  Were there just thousands of websites full of this kind of stuff back in the late 90s or is this kind of rare?

Did anyone actually play Battlecrusier 3000AD when it was still new? It seemed like a very interesting pitch at the time, it didn't pan out to be the killer app that was touted. According to Wiki, it caused one of the largest internet flame wars.
