@256 this is it this is the year of the linux desktop

@256 Remember Lindows? I worked at a computer builder around that time that supplied cheap PCs to QVC, HSN, Fingerhut, Walmart, etc. Leadership was convinced that they'd make a killing on Lindows machines. There was even a test run in Walmarts in some markets.

@256

"Easy to install" is not a description I would have used for Linux in 1999.

@256 aesthetic...

@256 lol I worked on Riven for about a week during crunch time, masking out water areas for the ripple effect.

Broderbund rented out a movie theater to show the opening scenes on the big screen for the team.

@256 I never finished the game, I don't really have the problem solving skills. The visuals were so stunning at the time. I still have my discs and strategy guide for this game!

@256 I used this one a lot when I made banner ads. It was a job that existed.

@256 3kU and 4 are both tied as being one of my favorites in the SimCity franchise. Unlimited, in particular, the most soothing menu music, too. https://youtu.be/B16INjPbVVo

@256 Butt Cleavage is always checked on my computer.

@256 there's an old star wars screensaver like this where Jawas would steal parts of the background

@256 I want Valve to release Half-Life 3. I know I’d play it multiple times.

@256 Good old progman.exe...I keep him around in my DOSBox.

I remember Xara 3D from the mid-00s, this must be its predecessor 🤔

@256 that art style ❤️

@davidkocher hours, countless hours 😅 #Performa630 @256

@EdBCollie

@256 ooh SaaSy! Brave ideas in the run up to the millennium.

@256 lol aww hell no!

@256 yes, smartsuite and WP were perfectly trashworthy!

@256 How much do I have to shell out for this?

@256 Same energy.

@256 Oh man, that teal background was really quite special 😍

@256 Tag yourself I'm 1

@256 Is that the SMS version?

@256 Fun fact, on the original console (Genesis in the US, Mega Drive for PAL), if you had a 50Hz PAL model the game ran slower! Music, gameplay and all!
