    What was the first PC game?

    Speaking of Commodore, I read in a 2007, 2008 (I can't remember exactly when) that some one got the Linux 2.0 kernel to run on a 2nd generation Commodore 64! Lets see then Linux Kernel 1.0 came out in 1993 and the commodore 64 came out in 198x!

    What was the first PC game?

    Lets see. The PC came out the same year that John Glenn and Robert Crippen flew the Space Shuttle Columbia Orbiter OV 103 on the maiden voyage/mission of NASA's new Space Transportation System or STS. So I am guessing, Break Out?

    Cities:Skylines

    Could be controversial. It be like trying to decide who invented the worlds first PC, IBM corp (Microsoft) or Tandy computers (Radio Shack - later named TRS X (some Number) - ). That reminds me remember the first gaming consuls of the 1970's? Lets see first we got an 8 bit Tandy vision then...

    Cities:Skylines

    My first PC game was via MS-DOS 2 in 1983! I forgot what it was. Breakout I think. You know using huge 8 bit paddles to knock a 4 pixel square ball around trying to knock down a wall of coloured blocks. If you miss you lose a life. I think you started with three lives and clearing a level gave...

    The sims 4 and vcrun 2013

    It worked. Probably win devs made a work around.

    Cities:Skylines

    I would get rid of win vista since win seems to handle win vista and earlier very well but I'd hold on to Windows 7 and above for now. I bet I won't be able to upgrade win 10 from Vista so free probably won't help unless Microsoft will agree to let me do a full install since I have win 95, win...

    The sims 4 and vcrun 2013

    I installed IE8 just to make sure but it might not be needed. I tried installing wmp9 so I could play the sound track but the POL script seems broken. It may be too old to work since the highest version seems to be wmp12.

    The sims 4 and vcrun 2013

    Maybe later. Here is the auto generated POL script: Sorry POL did not create an auto script like it usually does when you manually install a game. Lets see POL winestaging 1.7.38. Configured to win 7 mscorefonts. full drirect x. IE8. vcrun 2010-2013. msnet 4. It might work without some of the...

    Cities:Skylines

    Yep Now if I can just figure ouut how to get Qucken deluxe 2015 to run via wine then maybe I could think about reformating my Windows drive and using just Linux. I should probably wait a while though. Something sure to come along that won't work in Linux or Linux/wine. Then again My windoze is...

    Cities:Skylines

    I read that they broke their sales record buy selling over 500K copies in six days since launch! This sounds to me like a true underdog victory. :):cool: In my opinion EA/Maxis Simcity franchise is going down! I don't think they were trying to take down Simcity. It looks like taking EA/Maxis to...

    Cities:Skylines

    Nothing like EA's bitter disappointment. Smooth sailing for the servers. As Captain Kirk said "Second star to the right and straight on til morning". :) This the most fun in a city builder I have bar none! Even Maxis Simcity 4 is left in its dust!

    Cities:Skylines

    In my opinion Paradox Interactive just dethroned EA/Maxis Simcity as King of the city builders with their new game which launched two days ago. Cities: Skylines which is available on all three OSes Win/Mac/Linux is the new King of the city builders. 'Long live the King'! It sure isn't that...

    Quicken Delux 2015

    I submitted a test to wine HQ last night. This is why you see a page for Quicken delux 2015. There wasn't one so I created it. The test results have to be approved before the will show up on the page. Of course since I couldn't get the installer to run then when the test results do show up they...

    Quicken Delux 2015

    I tried creating a 32 bit wine prefix using wine 1.7.35. I ran the installer it failed listing Win Vista - Win 8.1 After changing wine from Default of win xp to win vista, I tried again. The install ran and then said msdotnet 4 needed to be reinstalled. I tried again after installing...
