No, I meant manuel. French for manual, synonym for mode d'emploi...

I was visiting my cousins in Sacramento, and hit up a small thrift store to find these

Imperialism: The Fine Art of Conquering the World (big box PC game): $1.50
House of the Dead 2 (Dreamcast): $1.50
Polaroid Super Shooter Plus: $10 (too much, but it was already half off, and I had film, so why not)

I'm really tempted to open Imperialism, and it's not worth anything, but at the same time I don't... I've been contemplating for the last few days, and thought, "Hey, why not make an unboxing video?"

Or should I keep it sealed? Oh my dilemma...

Download the game first. See if you like it.

If you do, open it up and play that mofo like it's 1997 ... :mrgreen:

Ooohh good idea... Too bad getting these games to work on Windows 7 can sometimes be harder than... Something hard

Another reason why you should download it first... :wink:

bah. XP mode has you covered. I can't tell you how often I run into old legacy apps that are 32 bit only (sega saturn and sega CD burning software) and a 32 bit version of XP running in XP mode gets 'em every time.

depending on the graphical nature of that game though.... XP mode might not quite cut it.

Yeaaaah... I have no bloody idea what I'm doing in this game... I'll probably try it more concisely when I don't have fifty pounds of homework to do.

In other news, got a Rock Band 2 pedal for $1.50 at another thrift store
