Ask, and ye shall receive... http://www.homeoftheunderdogs.net/

These guys collect all of the oldest games, once they leave the market.


Also, for old games that the makers simply won't let go of, there's GOG: https://www.gog.com/games?system=window ... asc&page=1

Yeah I want poz media when I go to click on the task bar.

I'm sure it can be pared down to what you actually need in the place where you used to click things you actually needed but I see so much junk there I won't even fuck with it.

I just booted up an old laptop I had in a box. It's fourteen years old. Booted up just fine. Late-stage Windows XP. Better experience than Windows 10. Hands down.

Fuck. They finally got him?

I couldn't get it to run on the Oracle VM. Probably need VMWare for that.

I've been running an ASUS Windows 8 machine I bought at a Pawn Shop for 120 bucks, one of the best systems I've had.

I still need a bit more processor speed and ram to run the machine learning projects. Plus, I am used to a Linux or Unix development environment. Windows just doesn't work for me. As far as the average user, I think would have been better to stick with the XP user experience and build from that. They really fucked up in straying from that watermark.
