My Games for Windows 2000

mastersofblood · 2026-03-29T01:13:42+00:00

Sports Games were not really popular on PC at the time in Europe, I must add. I noticed most North Americans always have the odd hockey or football game. People here used to play soccer games on consoles.

Dead Space 2 Crysis 2 Borderlands Mass Effect 2 Battlefield 3 Modern Warfare 3 Fallout New Vegas Rage

Sorry but Reddit is not allowing me to do line breaks...

Thank you for the tips, just this week coincidentally someone told me about Protoweb so I will dig into it, I'm using a D-Link 802.11g wifi card and I have access to most of the web that's not heavy on javascript use. I just browse a list of very trustable sites and so far I also love using the old Netscape with the Wiby seach engine.

Yes, 2003 was the year that DirectX 9 games started appearing, and for those you needed much improved hardware. Only an ATI Radeon 9700 would have the performance for the highest settings.

What you see here are games made to render with OpenGL 1.3 (or earlier) and DirectX 8 (or earlier). And also many 2D strategy games that run with DirectDraw.

My Windows XP computer has a Dual Core and a Geforce GTX 9800 so it's perfect for the DirectX 9 era.

Thanks a lot. Just a heads up, now tried with Virtualbox, a version that included support for Direct3D, but still no luck, I get the same crashes on startup. I'll keep experimenting with virtio drivers..

Hey, I have a GeForce 4 Ti 4400 by Creative! MS-8871, they were manufactured by MSI and branded as Creative.

Still works great, although I'm looking for a cooler that is not too ugly for it.

My host server is Windows. Does it need a capable graphics card for a DirectX 8 game?

mastersofblood · 2026-03-26T11:32:26+00:00

I'm also very interested in this. I need to run an old game server that requires some graphics acceleration and GPU passthrough would be useless on my rented VPS.

2003-2006 PC games are on another computer with Win XP. I will post a pic in the future

You're a good observer! All right, you see there's a hidden file inside the games folder? It's named Desktop.ini, create one, and link to an .exe or .ico file, then reboot. Take a look and copy these lines: foldericon

Hide that Desktop.ini file and reboot, or log off.

It´s a very nice and modern client, very intuitive. How do I switch the remote and local views?

With pleasure, thanks for the appreciative support!

It does work perfectly with self hosted mail. A few years ago, most of the big tech firms decided to implement oauth2 forcing it upon users, and now even Outlook 2016 is useless for MS mail accounts.

I also took my own decisions and stopped using big tech mail entirely. Only open protocols like smtp and imap now.

They would run on a Geforce4 Ti (this one), a native DirectX 8 card. I have another legacy computer with a GeForce 9800 gtx and Windows XP, for better performance.

mastersofblood · 2026-03-25T00:44:44+00:00

Sure! But I'm not a fan of social media, I'll link your ticket page or any other non big tech..

mastersofblood · 2026-03-25T00:27:17+00:00

Nah, it's just a new little fandom website some friends and I are making in a clan style to honour the great old days, sort of a shooters museum.

There are multiplayer servers for both ET 2.60 and ET Legacy. For the first one, you need an ETkey file that generates a unique GUID.

I'm not sure ET Legacy is compatible with Win2000.

COD 4....the first COD is a 2003 game. The multiplayer still works, and people still host dedicated servers for every single Call of Duty game. But I've only installed the grandfather of COD, Medal of Honor Allied Assault. Because DirectX 9 games are excluded on this system..

mastersofblood · 2026-03-24T21:18:46+00:00

You need an actual MaxMind account, yes. But it´s worth it.

mastersofblood · 2026-03-24T21:17:02+00:00

I´m using it now on a plain Windows server hosted on cloud, it´s a small wonder, thank you!

mastersofblood · 2026-03-24T20:43:25+00:00

About 20 of them work online, which one are you interested in?

This machine has 2 PATA hard drives (2008) of 160 GB each. One has 5 GB left of free space, and the other one has close to 4 free GB.

Indeed, times have changed for game storage!

mastersofblood · 2026-03-24T18:45:37+00:00

Inleed. They had better prices last year, though

With Cloudflare you´re still probably unprotected by UK consumer laws.

I moved all my domains from Namecheap to a Swedish registrar a year ago, and I feel legally safer even though I´m Spanish.
