Mark my words, this will steer Apple towards near irrelevance the way PowerPC did back in the day. Then they will come back and beg to AMD for a CPU, eventually. Yes. I fully believe in that. I am currently pissed off, but must admit that if they do convince me that everything I have installed here …

[start rant] I will not use an ARM mac, never. The 2013 rMBP i7 13-inch is my last Mac. I have zero interest in wasting my time with a 2 year transition, finding replacements for my web development apps, trying to emulate/virtualize Windows (new or old versions) for my gaming purposes in an …

Sam & Max is the one LucasArts game where common sense applies least to the puzzles, and I get your pain. You really have to get into that humor/comicbook thinking to get ahead in many points. I remember not being able to finish it without a walkthrough back in the day. Same here, I used a …

My retro activity today was to rewatch the 1998 Intercontinental Cup, Vasco da Gama 1:2 Real Madrid. In an attempt to understand the tactics used by Vasco da Gama there and replicate it in an old game: Championship Manager 3 (1998). 🤣

I was thinking here... which newer versions of apache, php and mysql can Windows 2000 run nowadays? Or is it actually capable of hosting a such small web server for local network purposes?

BTW... let's not forget someone redid a portion of Tomb Raider 2 using the UE4 engine and it looks incredible. Haven't played through it yet, but my goodness gracious me. http://tombraider-dox.com/ Watch out! High poly Lara is alluring as ever! Definitely better. Doesn't beat 2013 game, but close. …

TBH I did play Tomb Raider for a few minutes before giving up back in the day when I was young. Just because the controls were terrible. I can't comment on the graphics, because when I used to play FIFA or Pro Evolution, the graphics were pretty much like Tomb Raider as well. And people were saying …

Just finally, f***ing finally, managed to build a vanilla Windows 98SE VM for a few games even though I do not have 3Dfx/Glide. I think just FIFA and NFS2SE requires this s**t. It’s running with a reasonable speed on my 2017 iPad Pro 12-inch, thanks to the UTM app, which is a Qemu wrapper for iOS. …

Interesting. I got my 95 image from them I'll have to try installing it and seeing if that pops up for me. Looking forward to trying this it sounds fun. It's when you can choose things like monitor, keyboard language. It's the last option of the list - it says Windows 95 but there is Windows 3.1 …

I was installing Windows 95 OSR2.5 in a VM when I was surprised to see that I had the option to choose between Windows 3.1 (Program Manager) and Windows 95 interfaces during the install process. I have never seen that.

Played a bit of FIFA 98 RTWC, tweaked a bit the Windows XP Pro "98 theme". Not much here to say.

I was researching on Web Archive for some old FIFA 98/World Cup 98 patches. Most notably, the FGO Champions League patch and WC98 Libertadores Cup patch. All links broken. Oh dear, a big part of my childhood has been gone. Whatever.
