OpenTTD is a clone of the Microprose game “Transport Tycoon Deluxe“, a popular game originally written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.
It also happens to be a favourite of mine, considering I played to original game before Transport Tycoon Deluxe came along.
Westwood and EA are celebrating Command & Conquer‘s 12th birthday with a month of celebrations in September, and to start it all off, they’re giving away the first game – free!
ISO Images of both the GDI and NOD disks are publicly available.
The Official Site reads as follows:
Thanks largely to the efforts of our loyal fans whom continue to sustain and grow the Command & Conquer community, Command & Conquer has become a legendary franchise and it’s time to celebrate its birth once again.
In order to give back to the fans for over 12 years of devotion we are putting together a 12th Anniversary celebration during the month of September. However, as any Command & Conquer fan knows, the true party starts today, August 31st, which marks 12 years since Command & Conquer Gold launched way back in 1995.
To kick the celebration off, today we have a special surprise which we are certain new and old Command & Conquer fans will enjoy. We are providing the original Command & Conquer Gold as a free download, compatible for Windows XP! This is the same version included with the collectors pack Command & Conquer: The First Decade, and is now available for you to download for free!
PLEASE NOTE BEFORE DOWNLOAD:
We are providing the ISO image of C&C GOLD for both the GDI and Nod discs. In order for C&C GOLD to run on Windows XP, you will need to burn the ISO image onto a CD with a CD Burner and any “CD Burning Software” such as Nero, Alcohol, etc. There are also a few extra steps in order to make C&C GOLD run on Windows XP after you burn it to CD. Please click the link below for the exact instructions after you download both files!
THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL! DOWNLOAD IT NOW!
Continuing on in the month of September, be sure to keep your eyes right here on our official site at www.commandandconquer.com each week as we plan to celebrate and remember 12 years of Command & Conquer in a number of different ways.
Think about it, dead set, why is software named software, cos its for soft people… Only in a world gone mad, bill gates style, rifle in the bell tower mad, would someone develop a software driven device to turn on a fan, or your dunny light. Only in this world of evil idiots, would someone purchase the most hated things, such as a new improved operating system, which is so much improved, that it uses forty times the processing power, and does, you guessed it, nothing that its predecessor didn’t…
I HATE VISTA!!!
KILL THE VISTA DEMON!!!
Yes, this test post is a bit of drivel, but it is all to true!
It’s been a very quiet Microsoft patch day today. Except for one patch and that’s Service Pack 2 for Windows 2003, and Windows XP x64. Otherwise the only patches that they put out are the usually malicious removable tool update and new spam filters for Microsoft Outlook 2003 and above.
While most of the Recovery Console Commands are basicly DOS commands having a version to print out and have on hand for brain fades is handy.
Firefox 2.0 is now available.
If anyone cares about Internet Explorer any more you will find that today is a day that will live in infamy.
Hello everyone DivX 6.4 is now out
Just to let everyone know there is an unpatched hole in Internet Explorer that is currently being actively exploited. This exploit leverages Vector Mark-up Language in Internet Explorer, and is remotely exploitable requiring no user interaction other than for them to browse a page.
Another good reason to switch to Firefox
