Dust off a CD from 15 years ago

This is quite a surprise! When was the last time you dusted off some vidya you hadn't played in ages?
Do you wanna run a casino tonight, Holla Forums?

I want my dick sucked, is what I want.

Nice digits, but I don't think I can help you there. This is a rated E game, after all, and I don't think Sierra would've put in hookers and blow for the authentic casino experience.
Fun idea, though.

Well that takes me back.
Last game I dusted off from CD and still works was Fallout 2. A couple of months ago.

Eh fuck it, I'll post ITT

My last graphics card I bought was in May 2016, and it's pretty much just died. That's not a very long time, is it? I could've sworn my last one lasted about 3-5 years.

I gotta say, one of the things I really don't miss about old games is needing a CD to play them, and this game is so obscure that there aren't any mods for it in any way. Inconvenient, although I assume a pirated copy wouldn't have this problem.


You sure you're in the right thread?

Too lazy to look for or make a hardware thread.
"Old stuff that still works" seemed somewhat relevant

I don't mind optical media as a storage, obviously not for playing from directly. Sheeit I actually had a couple of old sierra\Dynamix games that came in 3.5 floppies that I wished had a CD version instead due to convenience and longevity of a CD vs floppies.

I play some current era AA titles but I'm ok in my vidya fort made from titles that predates shitty DLC microtransactions always online DRM and other current year AIDS.

I wanna meet my boyfriend in person so I can cuddle with him owo

>It doesn't work on new windows
>Wish you still had XP
Rip Shogun. Is Shogun 2 any good?

...

Dusted off original Homeworld CD. Can't find original jewel case so no cd-key, but figure it's old and has been cracked. Doesn't matter anyway because disc too old/scratched to be read.

Surely you have other games?

I do it all the time. Last Bronx, Sheep, Jagged Alliance 2, Morrowind…

Unfortunately, my Kingpin CD doesn't work anymore, so I had to pirate it.

...

I do have other 15yo games, but I want to play original Homeworld again.

...

Wait… what?

MEMES
E
M
E
S

The feels are intense, I feel like I shouldn't got back and ruin the memories.

I charged through regardless of these feels and once playing around on tatooine I felt only somber and heavily depressing nostalgia

Does it have a good view?

I could understand hating the games, it would just mean I had shit taste as a kid, but to feel nothing at all? What does it mean?

...

last CD I used was a GTA SA
disc it was scratched to hell so I rubbed it with toothpaste to install the game and install a crack for it, MFW it worked.

the best

Try Wine. I'm not even kidding, XP-era games usually work better under it than under Windows nowadays.

I know we all keep saying this too often, but god damn, where does the time go? I know I spend most of my time playing vidya, but I didn't expect time to fly like that.
As for old vidya - I've never kept any copies of my old shit. Never really had a lot of original copies, I only bought maybe a dozen PC games in my life (steam renting notwithstanding). I guess the closest I've had to this experience was when I found a copy of Battlefield 2 at a junkyard and it worked fine. Discovered Revive network the next day I hope it gets back online

I found my old ass copy of LOTR: War of the Ring. Felt great reinstalling it and being able to play with no real graphical problems but multiplayer was Gamespy only so I'm bummed as well.

She has absolutely massive inner thigh strength for her to be clamping down on the cable with just the sides of her feet.

Fucking tell me about.
There was some cuck that gave Dead rising 4 a positive review on steam, he basically said "You just need to take off your nostalgia goggles." And i was like "Dead Rising 1 isn't even ol…"

...

I still have a feeling like Bloodborne machine and Microsoft spyxbox are no more than a year old.
I've yet to play a Dead Rising game, how does the PC version hold up?

How's the optimization on DR1? I'd kind of like to give it a shot on my toaster.

holy shit it's real what the fuck is going on

I don't know much about Optimization but it's on the MT framework engine, so if it's anything like DMC4's original PC release it should run great.


If it's your first time playing DR1 I don't know what you will think, It's very much a game that get's better the more you play it. At first you start off level 1 and shitty but by the end you when your level 50 and memorize the in's and outs of the mall in it's entity you feel like a Bad Ass.
I enjoyed the hell out of replaying it on PC but I already had a ton of prior experience playing the game when it first came out.

Cool. Is the re-release the same game or do I need to look for the original to be toaster-friendly?

I dunno if what is saying is correct or not, but I picked up DR1 for PC some months back and it ran like dogshit for no reason, even on medium settings. Might be optimization or something, but I returned it since it didn't run well. If you pick it up, lemme know how it runs, since I am interested in picking it up again.

There is only one release for the pc and that is the recent port.

Guess I'll give it a shot then.

>make ISOs of my install disks
>mount that shit in Windows 10****
>it works perfectly

well if were talking about DR1 then there is only the one PC version.
DMC4 has it's original version, which is known as a godly PC port since it was work on in house at Capcom, and there is also DMC4 Special Edition which was out sourced and it uses an updated MT Framework engine and isn't nearly as well done.


If it ran like dog shit the first time then I doubt it will be better now, Capcom hasn't patched/update DMC4SE a single time it's exactly the same know as it was at launch.

The hole reason I spent the dosh on a good graphic card was so I didn't have to worry about bad optimization.

How new are you fags? This shit was discovered over a year and a half ago

Change the desktop resolution to match the game resolution.

Shit, I had this back when I barely knew how to play games, and this all went way over my head.
Why don't they make games like this anymore? Truly this is the height of tacticool action?

I decided to try installing RE3 on my shitty win10 laptop
it worked almost flawlessly. p impressive tbh

I know this is Holla Forums related but you gotta appreciate hand drawn covers. Now it's just filled with CGI posters.

even faggots who own dragon dildos at least have the decency not to have their back door open 24/7
