I was minding my own business

This is the funniest thing you've ever said. I wish you had the self-awareness to realize that.

GOD AS MY WITNESS HE IS BROKE. IN HALF

I've said before lethn is the most recognizable poster on site by writing pattern (apologies to imp) and I absolutely mean it as an insult.

No see I LIKED Imp.

Edit: When I'm on sentence 2 and realize it's this guy I either close the thread if he posted it or skip the comment. It's always an overlong circular Mish mash to say nothing. He reminds me of the quartering.

System requirements: 64 MB RAM and 400Mhz

Better buy a PC with 500 times the memory and 100 times the Mhz.

To render it exactly the same way you did 15 years ago.

Fallout tactics is a great game, but buying a 50bucks ebay special would run it :D

They might still be just following on from the Fallout series hype

Most phones using a x86 emulator would be able to run FT.

Why

Is this a rhetorical question because it's super obvious.

  1. Those aren't even affiliate links. Those are links to their own storefront.
  2. There goal is to direct traffic to their products with the highest martins.
  3. "Fallout Tactics" must be trending somewhere.

That's it. That's the mystery. Take game that has some buzz, write nonsense piece to try to convert search traffic for "how do I play Fallout Tactics" into sales.

Edit: Didn't realize it was such an old game. Maybe it's renewed "Fallout" traffic from the TV show and just updated a 2001 article to push their current PCs.

Edit 2: There's a whole lot of articles like that one. https://archive.ph/HWFFh (original Fallout, lol). They're all just superficially disguised entry points to their store.

and they should get smacked about for false or misleading advertising.

Seems like Ai generated articles to sell some pcs, the same pcs would've been shown regardless of the supposed game being written

The funny thing is games that old tend to run "poorly" if at all on anything modern.

It's why I want to see more of what GoG has done with putting in the work to get old games to run on modern rigs. It is easily their most valuable contribution to gaming.

They are ESG and indie game fodder now after they started purging people for wrongthink.

Yes, but there is still value in what they have done in regard to preserving old games. The importance of that effort doesn't get to be hand waved away just because they're now terminally woke. It was important and it needs to be reproduced/continued elsewhere.

Interesting thing is that overclocking is still mostly male dominated.

The sheer irony given older software tends to run worse the more modern hardware gets. Are you sure this isn't satire?

Just to clarify, this wasn't a P.T. situation and PS4 where the game was removed from the storefront and people where paying a premium for PS4 that had it still installed on the console?

As that's the only way this makes sense.

Overclock.net used to be a pretty solid place for some info. Bios/UEFI versions and updates can get pretty messy and convoluted at times, and some of the info I got off there probably saved my bacon. Can't vouch for interactions, but definitely had some top tier enthusiast research.

Taking a glance right now, it's possible that activity's been dropping off a fair bit. Not totally dead but might be lingering now. Could have something to do with with the weird forum UI-redesign. That's really off-putting.

I never got fallout, but did tactics only use company servers, or could you host your own?

if the latter, the official servers being dead would be irrelevant, lol
