QUOTE(mALX @ Mar 18 2015, 02:21 AM) I used to have chess on my computer, but Microsoft put an arrow in its knee, lol. Fixed! QUOTE(Winter Wolf @ Mar 18 2015, 05:51 AM) If you are looking for a good chess program Arena 3.5 GUI and Stockfish 6 running on it is the way to go. Both are free downloads and quite capable of destroying the current World Champion, Magnus Carlsen. Although losing every game on it is no longer fun. So perhaps Microsoft chess is better after all. You canīt change the difficulty?

Yes, you can actually beat Microsoft chess occasionally, but it shuts the computer down before you can gloat. I am looking for the original Chips Challenge (not the remake of it, I don't like the remake). I have kept a VERY old computer around just so I could keep playing Chips. I have the original FLOPPY disc with Chips Challenge, chess, some tomb raiding game, Tetras, - plus about 20 more Microsoft bundled games on it (!) - but computers don't have slots for floppy discs anymore. That old computer has a DOS partition with Arena and Daggerfall; and on the other side of the partition is games like: Echo the Dolphin, Sonic the Hedgehog, etc. But it is OLD, with one of those enormous monitors that weighs hundreds of pounds. Back when computers didn't have USB connectors or firewires, lol. This post has been edited by mALX: Mar 19 2015, 03:32 PM

Last year I copied Chipīs Challenge to a newer computer as a backup. But I still prefer to play it on the oldest puter I used to have a demo of the original Doom too but seem to have lost it somehow. ----------------------- Tonight my dad and I went to a Subaru dealer to stuff our faces with the free food, drink and coffee see the new Outback, plus some other cars This post has been edited by mirocu: Mar 19 2015, 09:06 PM

QUOTE(Callidus Thorn @ Mar 20 2015, 10:27 AM) Urgh, the UK is currently swamped by clouds of toxic smog. We had a solar eclipse today. Couldn't see any of it, the damn clouds are so thick. ..I saw it... ... We had to get stuff done in work, but around the time of what was going to be the mostest bit of it, I managed to sneak away and stare at the sun (*Warning, danger Will Robinson!) while it did it's most awesome of coincidental things...Then, unfortunately, I had to actually go back and do a bit of work...*Sigh*...Ah, matters cosmic and mundane in perfect wossnames... But yes, clouds of Parisian smog is currently giving it large across the UK...Awesome...Not...
