Retrogame blues....
Retrogame blues....
today I crashed my computer after re-installing System shock 2
It appears some of my newer bells and wistles don't like shodan.
I also installed and tried patching:
Heroes of Might and Magic * (can't remember which number)
Terror from the Deep
both fallout games
starfleet command
daggerfalls
panzer general
krush kill and destroy
and several others
the computer is being a pain, and not playing nicely with me.
any suggestions?

hmm
I'll have to tinker with settings, considering I have an ungodly amout of disk space still left in my computer (System Shock telling me I have no free disk space and then eating Rome Total War) with the patch in place kinda freaks me.
something wierd I just wanted to beat the bitch again....

This is of course anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt but here we go...
Okay. SS2 does work with XP, but needs the latest patch. Starting pre-patch SS2 crashed my machine, too.
TFTD is available in an XP-compatible legal (as far as I know) free/abandonware version. Give me some time to find it. IIRC, there was a thread about that sometime last year.
FO2 worked for me without any problems using the latest patch. FO1 didn't. Sorry
No clue about the others.

'Next time I let Superman take charge, just hit me. Real hard.'
'You're a princess from a society of immortal warriors. I'm a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues.'
'No. No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time.'
'Tactically we have multiple objectives. So we need to split into teams.'-'Dibs on the Amazon!'
'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'
'You know, for a guy with like 50 different kinds of vision, you sure are blind.'

Re: Retrogame blues....
Wait, this is pretty strange. HOMM (all version) and both Fallout run flawlessly on my Winblows XP (IBM R42 notebook; Pentium IV 1.7 Ghz). Probably there's something wrong with your system?The Yosemite Bear wrote:Retrogame blues....
