What is goldie.exe?

Can't find anything online about it. It's now a long past legend. :(

It was a little (like 30k) standalone app that only opens an animated gif like, black and white ultra low res topless exotic dancer with a 4s loop.

GOD THAT WAS FUNNY.

Second Reality demo. drat that I looked at it often. I'm still amazed that they did it that small (one 3.5" disk IIRC).

Quest for Fame , the grandfather of Guitar Hero, on PC, mid 90s.

This is a rythm game with Aerosmith songs. You start in your room playing with your guitar and you need to get better then you play in the garage and so on. For the final level, you can play WITH Aerosmith. This is a game with ugly rear end FMV but drat I played it often at the computer shop near my house as a teenager.

You had a device that you plugged into the parallel port of your computer which you then can mount on a tennis racket (or anything else), mimicking a guitar

Loom

The 13 years old French speaking teen I was had a hard time playing this. Was playing with a dictionary to understand the game and the walkthrough I got from a friend.

Wasn't able to think about the word "Loom" as something else than "Fruits of the loom"...

You remind me of Das Boot on my 5¼ disk... drat I played alot.

Main Menu:


Shooting down planes with the AA gun was so much fun:


The Gibraltar map, almost the only one I played because it was the only map that wasn't open sea, was easier for the 11yo I was back then.


The bridge on that map, with the guns on the pillars:


Maybe I should reinstall Silent Hunter IV...

Microsoft's Allegiance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegiance_(video_game)



drat that was fun. I know it still runs today but dam that I loved the vanilla experience.

I used to spawn a slow rear end bomber at the beginning and moving thought sectors using the most indirect route and fartest away from the wrap gates to not be detected by scouts and warping at the ennemy base sector and blowing the HQ up.

Glorious 2K space MMO hero right here boys!
