Aaaaaaah, now I have that crappy Steve Miller Band song stuck in my head! THANKS.

Right on, Jafo & nightbirdsf...I'm a wee younger (38) but always enjoy hearing other old school testimonies Web 2.0? Bah! The first time I ever felt connected to the world was CompuServe, chatting and playing games with people across the country (until the bill came, at least) </fo
What's funny for me is hearing younger folks complain about their Internet connection speed. "I'm only getting 5MB down and 1MB up! This sucks!" Egads. I'm sure many of you will recall the days of 110 & 300 baud (6.95/hour on CompuServe), when having a 1200 or 2400 modem meant you were FILTHY RICH and could pay the 12.95/hour rate
BEWARE THE MCP! KEEP THE SYSTEM AND PROGRAMS FREE! ...and watch out for de-rezzing. END OF LINE
Looking good! I haven't clicked around in there too much, but my initial reaction as a designer myself was positive. I like it, keep up the good work.
+ Reversed direction of the moon revolution (yes, Earth's moon now rotates around the Earth the right way) It's details like this that convinced me to finally buy the thing, something I should've done a LONG time ago. N00b time...but I'm glad I'm starting out with 1.3 You guys rock
I'm having the same problem. Picked up the game from Fry's Electronics in Tempe, AZ today and after installing it (box and CD's were sealed) I can't register. I've sent an e-mail to Stardock support but it's a holiday weekend, which likely means I'm SOL until next week. Dammit.
Woohoo! Grabbing this now, can't wait to see the new features. Nice work, dudes
Looks awesome, can't wait to get it. Kudos to all involved in its production!
Awesome. I've got entire sets of sounds from Ace Ventura and Dumb & Dumber that were painstakingly added via the default Windows sound app so this will be MUCH better
I've had to go back and replace individual icons as well, even though the previous config was working fine. Plus I keep LOSING ICONS everywhere and have to go BACK and fix them yet again...getting a bit frustrated here.
Nice work, all of ya...can't wait to get it These games remind me of the old Star Control days, which is a good thing of course!
You guys are awesome. I've been using Stardock products since the Win98 days and they just keep getting better. Keep up the good work!
Well I can sort of relate. I felt like punching a wall awhile back as well, my mom was going through some bad alcoholic spells and it also felt like I was taking care of a kid. I went home one weekend and spent the whole time cleaning up the house and making sure she didn't sneak any drinks in while I was there. Fun stuff. She's gone through AA and completed the program and seems to be dry now, but man...it's hard to take care of a parent when they're
This is awesome! Nice work. Wish I could install it at work, although I probably wouldn't get anything done because I'd be playing with it all the time
Longtime visitor and admirer of the works produced here, so I finally signed up Gotta support the "good guys" and the community here is definitely one of them.
Ack! They look great, but I hope they leave previous versions intact...I kind of like the charm of Minesweeper and Solitaire (Freecell too), they way they looked from the 3.1 days. Still play them, too
Awesome! Thanks for the continued coverage of Vista...you're a lucky dude. I got to beta test Win95 prior to release and it was a blast seeing what each new build would bring and what MS was experimenting with. Must be fun
Looking good! I didn't play the first one, but as an old-school gamer I might finally have to take a crack at the new version when it ships...it sort of has that early 90's Amiga/Atari ST feel yet is very complex.
I've got a wallpaper that somebody submitted to skinz that has all 12 sins, somewhere...I'll have to find it! Still makes me laugh...
hahaha I remember most of those, used to frequent skinz quite often. Anyone remember "The 12 Deadly Sins"? Something like lens flare, fire, swirls, etc. Quite funny
Nice! Terrific app, glad to see you guys are improving it
LOL...well I got some firsthand experience with that in the Air Force in the early 90's, where they taught us not only punch cards but paper tape. They were still using it! Never dropped a stack of cards, fortunately
Thanks for the link, a great read! I grew up with the Apple II and Atari computers and finally Windows 3.0, and love reading about the histories of machines and software we're using today. It must've been quite an experience to be a programmer back then!
