SkiFree



Thank you. I've been meaning to give that another shot.

SkiFree, Willy Beamish, and Golden Axe on dos could have ruined my 7th grade education.

Hmm, I haven't heard of this software before. I'll look into it more later.

Careful playing SkiFree today. This XKCD comic ruined the game for me.

I do not see this the end of PC gaming simply because Windows has extra games on its software natively.

And speaking of Windows 10, I do believe it starts the first bit of the official public rollout on Sunday. I'm curious to see how long the trickle down effect takes to get to people who aren't media reviewers, expensive clients, and the rest.

I've not been a fan of 8.1 and installed classic shell to avoid the tablet screen since I have no touch panel so this will be good.

You, sir, need a new sarcasm detector. Your current one seems not to be sensitive enough.

"Windows has games on its software natively"

What is that supposed to even mean?

That the Windows platform itself has exclusive games? Or that Windows has exclusive proprietary games built into its own OS? Or that software which runs on Windows has its own built in exclusive games... like Steam for example?

Do you even syntax bro?

Badly written that's for sure and has many meanings depending.

"Windows has games on its software natively"
- Windows has games that come with the OS native to it (like solitaire)
- Windows has games on its software because people make games that use Windows

I'm sure you could come up with more but I'm done. :P Best said maybe 'all of the above' whatever the all it ends up being. he's new, also showed up at digital press and did a post bomb as well.
