The funnest game of all. Make the network admin's life a living hell. Steal the balls from the mice. Superglue the cd rom drives shut. The a screenshot of the desktop, set it as wallpaper then kill explorer.exe and say the computer is frozen. Boot off a cd and wipe the hard disk. Steal the registry hives on a usb stick and crack the admin password later. Leave disgusting porn on all the computers on the teacher accounts of course. Use kaht2 to remote into other computers on the network and get other kids in trouble. Not necessarily in that order. Just what I remember off the top of my head.

on fridays at my high school, she had a rackmount server for Midtown Madness multiplayer so we got to play that or Pontifix. Some kids would entertain themselves by deleting Windows because every PC there had Faronics Deep Freeze so a restart would undo everything not in the special partition. Others would sneak in emulators.

In my school it was always Freearcade.com

Until just a couple years ago the site was virtually unchanged from way back when, but now all of the once vast library of original games seem to be gone.

Many of them (perhaps even most) were Java, so the death of flash can't be the reason.

Won't stop me from just putting in a CD full of emulators in my college years when I finally had a burner by then (and then got into an argument with the IT head when he was scared my new fangled $100 128MB usb drive might break the computers in the lab, he eventually relented). Also not using DeepFreeze, nice shitty admin work. Then again I discovered I could easily access everyone's network drives without even a password so shitty admins all around in colleges I guess.

>How the hell do I play Windows 98 games on a Windows 7 or 10 PC?
If the game doesn't run natively, either check PC gaming Wiki if there is a workaround/custom modern launcher or setup a Win98 system. It's going to be a lot harder for you if you are running a 64 bit version of Windows instead of 32, since 64 lacks support for 16 bit applications.

If these games didn't require more than say a Pentium 2 or a Voodoo3 then you can emulate such a system on a good modern PC.

>Can I just put a virtual 98 on my system and more or less be good to go?
Emulated? Good chance. Virtualized? Far less chance. Those virtual machines aren't really intended for games, and they definitely aren't intended to game on an older OS. Drivers for the virtualized hardware will be iffy, especially any sort of 3D acceleration. and many applications will crash from the high speed of the virtual system.

You sound like a total asshole. The wallpaper bit is classic and funny, but the rest is just being a total asshole, especially the part about mice and cd drives.

4chan is a shell of what it once was. Used to be just for the sake of lulz or trolling, or pulled off stunts like locating a terrorist camp and getting an airstrike called on it, or finding a person who was videotaping herself abusing cats, many called it weaponized autism. Now it's just people bitching about politics and acting like an edgy teen from the 90s who just learned slurs while being assholes to everyone.

I was 12 or 13 years old at that time and my school didn't have computers, I didn't have one at home, I didn't have a console either. I wanted a GBA with all my soul but it was not possible. The closest thing was seeing how others played with their Game Boy at recess. Do you know how frustrated I felt? No, you don't know. It is so difficult for a child to understand that there is a wonderful world out there but you can't enter it. I will never forgive my parents for being irresponsible neglecters. You have those beautiful memories but all I have is hatred and resentment. I could have and do have some things that I didn't have, but what's the point? so that?

I play Infinity in spurts. Few weeks or months on, a few months or a year off but I always keep it in rotation. I really like it, he managed to keep the action fresh and fun. Seriously one of the coolest devs I know of.

IIRC, Infinity has yeah an offline version of Disputed Galaxy built into it. Online DG will never happen again. Infinity has online functionality though and a lot of it still does manage to feel like a bigger better improved version of DG.

Well college IT is the most brain dead easy IT gig in existence. It's 99% sticking instructors in rooms with students and making sure the projection system works. I was managing a campus full of computer labs during this time. All deepfreeze btw. Played a lot of Red Faction and Mechwarrior 3 when I had interns to act as worthy foes. Evening shift do a few tickets and the rest of the time is mine. Wish I could go back. Was a better time...
