Left 4 dead 1 and 2 support lan. I tried it with my little bro's PC. Ran an ethernet cable thru a hole in the wall too!

I have a 360 and it has not been on the line in about a year. We have shit internet out in the boonies anyway.

Well, I tried installing Slack on my P133. It did not work out too well, it's kind of a pain in the ass to configure. Guess I'm going back to Windows!

I bought a used copy of "thief" for the 360 a while back. It was a waste of $20 because I thought it was boring AF. I returned it and got some other games though.
Anyone use an old linux OS on an old PC?
Posted on 2015-10-24, 16:45
Hey guys, I was in study hall the other day and I decided to hop onto a PC. I was aimlessy browsing the web when I thought about putting an old linux distro on my pentium 133. I looked up slackware and downloaded slackware 4.0. There's even a dos emulator for it so I can run my old PC games (well, …

hi all, I started ordering off of ebay a few days ago. I snagged a copy of Daggerfall with the back art for $12 (including shipping). I also got an "as-is" socket 3 ISA mobo (SIS 85c471 chipset) and a Cirrus logic VESA VGA card. The VGA card isn't too fancy but It's better than my old WDC ISA VGA …

I'm already there. Although I don't trust it for my torrenting/deepweb, I like it for its looks.
Re: Problems running TES games under win 98

I tried in dos mode w/ all drivers loaded. Same deal w/ Arena, have not tested daggerfall. One other thing I noticed with daggerfall is it will give me random errors sometimes (in the middle of gameplay). But my copy of DF came in the mail today so I'll be testing it out! 😊

Problems running TES games under win 98
Posted on 2015-10-18, 00:56
Hey all, I booted up my pentium 133 today in hopes of playing some TES Arena. However, when I started a new game I got to where you get the key to open your cell, and it freezes. I can do CTRL-ALT-DEL but after a few seconds it freezes windows. So I have to press the reset switch on the pc. It also …

CAM00033.jpg I picked up an old 13 inch Sony Trinitron CRT tv today. Cost me $4 and I'm glad I got it! Picture quality is friggin epic! My old RCA 20+ incher is going to the trash now. The trinitron is from around 85 and it STILL puts out better picture quality than a 1998 RCA XL 100. Imma post …
Re: Am I the only one who thinks XBox One looks.... retro?
Posted on 2015-10-08, 19:47
My younger bro is getting the fallout 4 XB1 bundle. You're right it does have a retro kinda look! I was thinking about getting a PS4 but I don't know yet, we'll see. I'll probably just build a new PC.
Re: copy c64 games over a serial connection
Posted on 2015-10-05, 23:04
Well I think the obvious choice is the x1541 cable. I popped into radioshack just now and bought a male db25. Too bad they didn't have the DIN6 for the C64 end, I'll get that off of Jameco. Thanks for all the info guys, I appreciate it. P.S. I read you have to use an older PC with the parallel port. …

What about using 2 modems? I have a 56k Usrobotics winmodem in my main PC. I asked on the fedora linux forums and someone suggested i use modems. Id have to order a cheap modem for my C64 though.
copy c64 games over a serial connection
Posted on 2015-10-04, 16:09
Hey guys, Just wanted to know if this is possible; copying games to a C64 over a serial connection to the C64's disks/tape. I am using fedora linux 22 on the computer to send the files and a C64 to receive the files. I would like to know before I go out and buy parts for building new cable, or a new …
Computer audio setup?
Posted on 2015-10-02, 00:21
CAM00029.jpg hey guys, Do you use just plain speakers with your PC's or do you have a more complex setup? I just put up a Pioneer SX-311R receiver under my (trash rescued) 22 inch monitor. It sounds great for playing MP3's and other audio files. Sure beats the monitor's built-in speakers! So what's …

I agree with the craigslist suggestion. I use it quite often, and I have never used ebay.
