/account/privacy — you can hide your profiles here. all users should do this, imo.
sorceresssorceressThanks for that 🙂
But I think I might have prefered some other forum software over wordpress tbh. It has always felt to me more suited to blogs with reader comments, rather than traditional discussion forums, even though it does serve that function mechanically. It can take quite a bit of customisation to get wordpress to feel right in my experience.
sorceressI got my boxed copy second-hand from ebay several years ago, and it was in near perfect condition. So that’s an option for others.
I think it was Tijn who recommended this game to me some time prior.
I was aware of there being some trouble with it’s developers getting it re-released, but I wasn’t aware that was still ongoing. A shame that whatever parties are involved can’t sort this out, as the game is doing nothing for either of them at present, just slowly fading into irrelevance.
Every game I’ve ever bought has been delivered on physical media in a box/case of some sort. 🙂 I’ve never been interested in paying for something, then having to download it myself, and having nothing tangible to show for it.
sorceress1. End of the DOS era; Dawn of the new 32-bit Windows era. Reasons behind that, and consequences for gamers.
2. New possibilities with Win9x : DirectX, Consolidated drivers, Plug and Play. Fallback to DOS mode meant continuity wasn’t broken.
3. Pentium era, the PCI bus, the ATX system architecture. These strongly overlapped the roleout of Win9x and can be considered part of the same set of changes users experienced at that time.
4. Multimedia became a normal part of new system specs: 3D acceleration cards, sound cards, AC97, CDROMs, greater screen resolution with 16/24-bit colour modes.
5. Rapid changes in PC performance throughout these years. even a 1 year old PC could struggle with the latest games. 2 year old PC and you’re unable to play almost any new game. It was a hard and expensive hobby to stay relevant in those days… but that also made it exciting, seeing how much more your new hardware could do.
