@Ubisoft Defeating the Connect loader and actually getting a game running!

@susie_dent @ProfBrianCox Met a few.

@dark1x Never saw a flat screen in the Win98 era. First ones I saw came along around the same time as WinXP.
I could only just afford to get a 17" CRT back then (after blowing up the 14" playing Paperboy (MAME).

@Kotaku Copyright law is an ass that's in no way fit for purpose. Designed almost entirely to protect the greed of big Corp.

On the other hand - the high seas has us covered. Nigh on the entire history available if you're willing tp set sail.

@dark1x Given your job 3500 games is understandable but generally I don't understand why people binge Steam Sales, download entire ROM packs, and generally build collections that large. The old never ending backlog and 100s of unplayed games syndrome. I'm down to under 200 games!

@JezCorden I'm sure I posted this to a previous comment - Built a reasonable gaming PC. It's running HoloISO (Steam Deck OS).

The thought of running Windows as a games console OS sends shivers up my spine.

Also in the rather buy a game than pay monthly subscriptions camp!

@RavWilding Scam Interceptors intercepting @Kitboga scamming the scammers on this mornings program?

The "American Woman" sure sounds like his voice changer!

@JazRignall Two games there really stand the test of time - Jetpac and Atic Atac.

It's an insult to Ultimate to associate it with what is RARE under Microsoft.

Like talking about Atari's Arcade division and the Tremiels under the breath.
