What games come to mind?
Dunno, I never used this. Went from XP to 7.
>>729390647Vista was so fucking peak, for me it's pokemon blue on visualboy.

how did it take us like 20 years to realize bright themes were bad for our eyes and we all moved to dark themes?
remember when people used to use rainmeter with a gorrillion widgets and shit to make their desktop look like an iron man suit wew lad what a bunch of faggotsnow windows 11 + default wallpaper is the patrician choice
>>729391179how did it take us like 6000 years to realize letting wounds fester makes our arms fall off?
>>729390647I miss being able to have animated gifs set as backgrounds.Now you need some faggy program just to replicate it.
>>729390647Anno 2070
>>729390647nobody used vista you zoomer idiot. people stuck with XP and 7 only came out 2 years later
>>729390647Tf2, "fallout" 3 and mass effect. Also supcom fa.

>>729391179You weren't meant to start at the screen 10 hours a day back then
>>729390647CrysisBattlefield 2142GTA IV
>desktop widgets Holy nostalgia blast. My mom absolutely insisted the family computer with W7 had all the stock widgets on the desktop at all times. I played so much of that stupid goddamn parrot puzzle to pass the time.
I remember I had a notebook with it and I like the feeling and the vibe of it I was blown away, though 7 was way better but for me windows 2000 was peak.
>>729390647Quake Live and browser games like Hattrick and Ogame for me

>>729390647>vista
>>729390647Played TF2 for the first time on a shitty vista laptop. Simpler times
>>729391179Ghosting was common on old CRTs and LCD panels, and it's made worse with black UI elements.Also fonts look so much better against dark UIs as monitor PPI increased.
Halo 2
>>729390647Fable
I dunno, if you had a gaming rig back then you wouldn't have vista installed but XP.
>gfwl>009 sound system dreamscape>unregistered hypercam>gta iv
>>729391179it's not. you read and recognize dark shapes on white background faster.

>>729394107I pirated vista pretty soom after its release and don't remember having anything wrong with it. In fact, I thought it was pretty damn cool. New tech was generally still exciting back then to me.
>>729390647Wildtangent pack in titles, Crysis, Neverwinter Nights 2, Morrowind,
>>729394697>I pirated vista pretty soom after its release and don't remember having anything wrong with it.Back then you'd want to squeeze as much performance as you could and vista's fancy UI took some system resources. Also not many people had more than 4GB of RAM installed when Vista came out, and most games were developed as 32-bit exes so 64bit was kind of pointless.A lot of people skipped vista and didn't upgrade until 7.
>>729390647Halo CE
>>729390647then same games I still play today :)
>>729391679Come to Linux white man
Why did it go from Vista to 7 and what happened to 9?
>>729394697the average pc had 256mb of ram back then, vista was slow as fuck, people would update to it, don't like it and then go back to xp, hell I knew some people still running win98 back then.
>>729394530peak brainlet post
I fucking miss the Vista aesthetic so much. It was a great OS by SP1.
>>729390647Homeworld 2. Specifically because we tried installing it on friend's system to play on LAN but it didn't work on Vista.I just completely skipped Vista myself.
>>729391179It's because we weren't glued to screens 24/7 until fairly recently "thanks" to smartphones.
>>729391179monitors werent as good at blinding us back then
>>729391179It didn't. Terminals always used to be black screens. It's just Windows and Mac that were bright as fuck.
>>729395289Came here to post this one
Bioshock 1
>>729391747Cute as a Botan.
I sometimes wonder about the designers of Vista, what are they doing now
>>729390647>>729391530This
>>729391179actually dark themes are bad for your eyes. Use a light theme, dim the brightness a bit and make sure you are not sitting in the dark anon!
