Aged
The first Fallout came out in 1997, so I guess it’s actually been sixteen years. The games from Good Old Games are always really stable, so crashing isn’t actually a problem like a lot of other older games.
One time, I had Windows 98 running in a window within Vista so I could play this game again. It was the BEST.
How did you do the 98-within-Vista thing? I have so many games that I played when I was younger that I want to play again.
All I really remember is that I used something called Virtual Box and I spent days getting it to work. You have to actually have a copy of Windows 98, too. There was a guide on Youtube that I followed, I think. This might be the one. The guy was actually doing it to play exactly the same game that I was.
OK cool! Thanks!
Wow, I remember that Star Trek game! My computer at the time wouldn’t run it correctly, so I ended up returning it. I wonder if I could figure out a way to get it work now…I think my computer can handle it.
I suppose my phone has more power than my computer back then…
This reminds me of my quest to get the ultima series running via dosbox, turns out the floppies i bought were damaged, no wonder it never worked.
