There are a a few select games that don't work at all though, like Shogo.

I watched my friend play it a lot at his place, but never got it working on my computer. Going through properties and making it think it's running in Win98 or 95 didn't really work either.

There's probably a way, I just never found it.

So you'd have a hell of a time getting it to do so on that.


All he needs is a bigger hard drive, and XP will install and run. I have a computer like his, only that mine has a 2 GB hard disk. Windows XP installed and ran... and wasn't pretty. Windows 2000 was tolerable when you turn off the pretty effects.

It also makes a nice Web server or something when you put a *BSD on it (OpenBSD is most secure, FreeBSD is much easier to install).

Ok. I finally won the battle against the lowsy programmed game. I tried DOSBox before... it didn't work. But recently I found out that DOSBox 0.61 worked with it.

I CAN PLAY JAZZ JACKRABBIT AGAIN!!

OR!

Throw dissolving compounds on it and steal other chemicals from the school lab and screw around with that.

I remember when I stole 45 grams of Sodium from my school. Threw it in some kid's birdbath. Twas' mighty fun to see his parents run out at 10 at night screaming. Then him come out and start crying.

The original purpose was to toss it in lake ontario and watch what the crackheads at the dock did. But as it turned out, this kid had called me and my group of friends fags earlier during the week. He was 5 years younger than us...

His fault for calling me a fag...and fat.

Hmmm...just use it to store shit.

This is a good question that I need to ask myself when I get my compy built. Then we'll have three comps and one lappy.

Hmmm..actually, I like the junkyard wars instead. Give me a while, and I'll join ya.

Because breaking shit is fun, and sometimes rare, depending on who the person is.

I have a busted TV, and I cannot wait until I get a baseball ba----errr....no really, I am an innocent person, who would never do such things....
