I loved that screensaver. I would sit and watch it navigate the maze for hours.

EDIT: Holy crap, I somehow missed a few pages of posts…

#82

Holy fucking shit yes.

#83

the original settlers first cam out on the AMIGA computers - i think the PC-conversion came out when DOS was used as primary PC-OS. but i’m not sure, maybe '95 was out already.

#84

Only Amiga makes it possible!

#85

If you really miss windows 98 that badly… You can buy a psp 1000, hack it and put windows 98 on it.

But really, I don’t see what’s wrong with XP.

#86

already did

#87

I think my cousin had Windows 3.11. We had to play it through DOS though, I think.

#88

Win 3.11 was more of a fancy graphical shell for DOS than a true operating system anyways. Yeah, it had native applications but it was mostly for Word.

#89

hl1 runs on windows 3.11

#90

Like, the early prototype of HL1 when it still ran on unmodified Quake 1 code?

#91

I dunno but I’m sure if you manage to get directx working you can run hl1

obviously if you have a real 3.1 machine it won’t work but in an emulator the CPU speed is almost unlimited

#92

Also, isn’t HL1 only compatible with 32 bit Windows? Unless there was a 32 bit version of Win 3.11 I’ve never heard about, I don’t think it could even be able to run on it, much less play.

#93

I remember the jungle theme and johnny castaway screensaver. ah those were the days!

#94

They still f-ing exist you know.
:stuck_out_tongue:

#95

I’ve got a really funny joke:

Windows 98 security.

#96

if anyone wants the old 98 screensaver, they can be found here https://www.sendspace.com/file/m1y8bt

#97

Not really related to Windows 98 but

Damn, these are really beautiful. I remember playing those two for hours when I was a little kid. I loved the retarded “TOOT-TOOT” Sounds which came up as soon as you builded a harbor. :3

I was still using Windows 98 last year to get some old games running easily. Some games just hate modern machines :’( Good thing we have Windows XP mode now. o wait…

But oh lord, every time I used one of my fancy-pants-brand-new USB ports and Win 98 asked for the installation CD I went nuts. It’s so damn annoying…

OH GON. I first played Age of empires on my 98’! Badass memories.
