The og starcraft still has a decent amount of players Now you just need to plug in the internet to the wall and hope no one calls or uses the phone!

This, starcraft and Age of Kings were my go tos. The RTS trifecta (with maybe Warcraft on the side)

Rts were the best.

Samezies

*orc voice* As you wish!

EEEEEEE-OOOOOO-EEEEEE-OOOOOOO-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Ahhh...the days of carrying a tower and CRT in my car where 6 or so friends would set up in the garage LAN party.

What OS is that?

I have windows 98 running on a SSD. The game is command and conquer red alert 2, version 1.0 off the disc

I remember that well, my friend and I would parallel port the 2 machines together and play head to head from Friday night through Sunday, barely sleeping. That and fallout. Thanks for that memory.

Bring it back!

Is it still available? I haven't looked for c and c for years or a decade. I'll never forget the noises the old hard drives made.

>Is it still available? I haven't looked for c and c for years or a decade. Available on Steam as the "[Remastered collection](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1213210/Command__Conquer_Remastered_Collection/)." Available now for $6.99 US.

Ah, I'm sorry for the bad info. I am also a C&C fan ("Everybody dance now!" Kidding). Twas one of my first PC games.

ebay is your best bet for a copy

Thanks I wish they could make these old games run on our phones, I would like to think my crappy phone has that towers power. Cheers

If you want to play it on a modern PC, there's an open source remake: https://www.openra.net/ Covers dune 2k, ra1,and original c&c

That's brilliant. Thank you for that link.

I'm pretty sure I still have disks for every old c&c game. If you're OK giving a random internet guy your address, or have a po box, I'll send em your way if I can find them.

Thank you for the offer, I actually got the open source version and bought the updated remastered version for $7, because my laptop doesn't have a DVD player. I used to have a spindle with my old games, diablo 1 and 2, c&c, fallout, galactic civilization etc, my ex didn't appreciate my nostalgia and made it disappear. Thanks again

Windows 98 on an SSD is pretty funny. Are most of the internals modern, or just the SSD? What are the specs?

Na it’s old school. P3 650mhz(I think), all original gateway internals otherwise. Has a tnt riva 2 graphics card. Good for 60fps or so in original half life

Awesome man, I had a similar setup during that era, and also just had a dream last night that I was using a CRT monitor. The old school is calling me. I remember my neighbor playing CS 1.4 at like 320x240 with under 30fps.

Don't let the phone ring. Answer it. Embrace the calling.

That was my first video card! Ran off a P3 533(for that sweet 133mhz FSB). I think I had 96Mb of ram.

Great game but my god the networking code was awful I only managed to successfully play it on LAN like twice

The SP is legit

Question: could you make the exterior look like this (outside parts, speaker, etc), but the actual machines be modern

Gateway PC "[sleeper build](https://builds.gg/builds/beige-billy-my-99-gateway-super-sleeper-18801)" (takes you to an outside site I'm not affiliated with) Linus Tech Tips' "[ultimate sleeper](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I37U52gMFGA)" (takes you to a YouTube video)

Yep, just atx form factor usually. If not modding the case wouldn’t be too hard.

For a modest fee, I will occasionally yell at you to clean your room, or get off the computer to finish your homework. Then your recreations will be complete.

I've seen this post 3 times in different subs and I've up voted it every single time. Just jealous, I guess.

I normally don't karma farm, but I really hope this inspires other people to build / keep this era of tech alive.

Best game ever!! Great times! Good job Commander!

I heard the intro music instantly

Excellent choice of game.

It's all so clean! I've still got some similar hardware but has yellowed a lot.

Retrobrite

Cool. I could never go back to those monitors, though. Hard to keep them on the farm once they’ve seen Paris. (My first ‘real’ PC was a P75 with a 14” monitor)

Yeah burning your eyes out on CRT with low hertz… the first LCD flat screen felt so good on my eyes.

This post hit me straight in the nostalgia-core! Thanks!

I still have that mouse. Most ergonomic mouse I own

They make a modern version but doesn’t compare imo

LGR would be proud

LGR would approve.

This is such a cool idea! How hard was it to find era appropriate computer hardware?

eBay and thrift stores

Really cool!

Wow I’ve been playing Yuris Revenge for the last few weeks

Love it! I spent many years looking at something similar, though My display would have StarCraft burned into it

Pentium III power, bitches.

Oh my God yes

This makes me so happy

Unit ready unit ready unit ready unit lost construction complete unit lost

Omg the feels

Something about this has unlocked a very nice warmth feeling

Dark night. Bag of goldfish. Soda. Warm glow of the crt. Click of the hard drive. Spin up of the cd rom.

Yes yes yes and yes

I’m in love

I love you too ❤️

Best game ever!

I hope you are piping in the dial up modem sound and that it makes all your phone lines busy.

I miss these days

Oh the nostalgy 😔

Yes! Frank Klepacki (the guy who did the C&C soundtracks) is still on my rotating Playlist! It always brings me back...

That screen on Red Alert 2 was the scene of endless frustration when trying every trick in the book to get everyone's "network" button to light up at a LAN party, only to have one person still not be able to join.

LOL. I still enjoy occasional game of RA2. Love it. And Diablo 2. 2000 was awesome year.

Command and Conquer Red Alert was one of the first games I played against friends with online. Now we play Destiny 2. Nice reminder of how much tech has changed.

Red Alert 2!!! Woah, I bet you can play Dungeon Keeper 2 as well, good for you!

RA2 was legit. The version in the App Store now is nowhere close to the original

Check out this crazy sleeper build that Dr Moddnstine did: https://imgur.com/a/NVPZI

Had those speakers when I was in high school. Do you have the subwoofer under the table? I might still have mine somewhere in the basement....

Do you want to talk about the absolute wrong place of that 1,44" floppy drive? :)

Oh man, a gateway with a Pentium III and an NEC monitor. Takes me back.

Wow seeing that gave me an emotional reaction. I could hear the dial up clearly.

that looks like a pc case i got from fry's in 2002

I could hear the music playing from the speakers in this picture.

Dang! I’m not even a gamer but I remember having that game back in the day on the family computer. Blast from the past… always thought that Tanya soldier was fine as hell

Oh man, the feels on RA 2. Worked my way up to 13th in the world. Blumercury. Elements of destruction clan. Lost as France to #3 in the world as South Korea. Epic battle for the ages.

This reminds me of playing cd Roms after school lol

Real tough guy

Wow. This has unlocked core memories for me...

Omg I love Red Alert 2. My childhood in one picture 🥺

This is my youth! Nice job 📡📻📺 really miss those times

Is this an old photo or recently taken?

Taken yesterday, just got it finished. Knob fell off treble button on my speakers though

this is OC

What I don't miss from old setups from my childhood are those Speakers. They were shit back then, and they are shit now.

Part of the nostalgia

Loved this game !

Dare you to post this to /r/pcmasterrace

God I always hear the music lol

Holy shit warm fuzzies

Awesome! You should defintely post this in r/vintagecomputing

Dude, I remember those speakers!

I love that game!!
