Playing older games is possible - just search the Internet for troubleshooting. Recently I've installed Half life 1, Command and Conquer and Command and Conquer Red Alert - the latter two required update patches and to have the .exe's put in Win95 compatibility mode. HL just needed an update patch (an 80meg one at that ) Earlier games might need emulators like DOSbox to play. All in all, it was an additional 10 minutes to figure out how to get the games to work - and nothing was hard really. And for those who care, I've gone through HL and C&C (GDI campaign) and am on the second half the the Allies mission 10. Here an upcoming, and interesting game: Battlefield-Heroes At first, I just thought here's EA copying Team Fortress 2 - but it's not.. entirelly. It's more cartoonish (such as the violence and actions you appear to do in the game - it's about the childish fun of a video game rather than the fun of a realistic FPS) and is being designed for everyone, with the concept of only allowing you to play against people of the same skill level online - rather than getting stuck on a server with some guy who won't let you get use to the game as he blows you away and then crouches up and down on top of your rotting corpse just to let you know he spends 12 hours a day playing computer games and that's his one and only skill in life. Also ... it's free And from EA And is free Did hell just freeze over? Maybe that's why it's so cold here right now?
