This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I've included the photos below. Was the ability to change languages really an Ultimate only feature back then?

Last "good" Windows OS was Win2k

The 64 bit version of XP was pretty good.

As if I could afford 64-bit hardware back then

I could, but it was pointless because 90% pretty much everything else was still 32-bit lol

I ran the 64-bit version of Far Cry on my Win XP 64. I convinced myself it looked better, but I doubt it actually did.

Edit: Huh, I guess it did look better. From the 64-bit patch notes:

Optimized and refactored code to take advantage of 64-bit architecture. >Two AMD64 exclusive multiplayer maps â€“ MP_Stronghold and MP_Gorge >Added Offset bump mapping support. >Added higher resolution textures and objects. >Increased some viewing distances. >Updated the Pier level with new content.
