Hmn, interesting read:) My previous understanding of their demise ran like this: a) Make great graphics cards that everybody loves b) ??? c) Bankruptcy! Now I understand that "???" was "Make inept decisions. And lots of them!" ;)

Hehe, I learned all this stuff playing master of orion:) In a side note, america isnt the only place where all the jobs are drying up. In the last 6 months, I've found 4 IT-related jobs that didnt require a minimum of 5 years experience, and each one had over 150 applicants, despite the fact that …

Are you sure about Freespace II? I thought maybe it was like the Quake3 source where it was just enough to create a mod, but not the whole game. From the site: http://www.freespace-2.com/ddn/sources/freespace2/ FS2 is an MsDev 6.0 project. Within the workspace are several subprojects. Ac. This is …

Yes, you should definitely register. Then you too can load up an old, well loved adventure game from your glory days on your ibm ps/1, take a screenshot, load the shot in paint, painstakingly cut the character you want out of the scene pixel by pixel, copy and paste into the gimp onto a transparent …

Sorry for being intollerant for "geeks" that can bridge the layman-to-geek chasm, but I think that's a bridge that's worth not being built. Definitely. The easier you make something seem to stupid people, the more stupid people are going to try it, then f*ck it up, and then I'm going to have to …

Syndicate/Syndicate Wars
Posted on 2002-09-24, 09:03
Has anyone had any luck with the ClassicTrash versions of these games? Syndicate Wars doesn't worry me too much, as I'm getting the HOTU version right now (which is 10meg bigger. I wonder what CT left out?), but Syndicate not working is a pain. Running main.exe w/o VDMS makes it do absolutely …

Hooray!: I found Full Throttle and The Dig for download! I've been looking for these two since I moved back from cyprus + lost half my cd's. Arg!: Theyre in spanish! Anyone know how the language files are stored in LucasArt's games? Is all the text in one small file? Want to send me it?:)

Well, I should probably be more specific... "The next time I go into town" could well be months and months away... I last went in in july, to get my new guitar and amp:) Also, "The next time I go into town" is heavily influenced by "My ability to get busfare and money for cd's", which would require …

Compaq Armada 7350T. Does anyone own one of these? Do you know if the cd drive can read cdrw's? I know some older model cd drives have trouble with them, and thats the only reason I can think of that it's refusing to boot this damn cd. Anyone? After spending the last 2 day's trying to get it to run …

No, the laptop has no OS on it currently, so I can only use a bootable cd. The dos images I've got are just img's of the 3 DOS 6.22 install disks, which I've kept from when I was playing around with vmware. Seeing as they're all bootable themselves, burning them to cd and making it bootable should …

Hmn, i thought the unpacker ran ok, so i tried it again. It crashes on my comp at 99% through. The batch file continues, so i didnt really notice before. I'm already using the decoder patch from the underdogs.. To be honest, I dont really see what I can do about this 🙁

Oh, and I threw out most of my old windows cd's because they were horribly horribly scratched and I'd lost the serial numbers:) Although I did find one version of each (95 & 98) while searching for red alert earlier, but both are so scratched that theyre unreadable, otherwise I'd use on the laptop …
