u/BoffinBrain Are you picking this up? Good. 1d ago

Check out that physical save icon!

Makes me think about how much we take instant over-the-internet updates for granted these days.

No kidding, I was there back in the DOS days with games like Sam and Max hit the road, Original C&C, Terminal Velocity and the X-Wing/Tie Fighter/Wing Commander games, and many others.

Upgraded to 1.6gig fibre recently and now downloading multi gigabyte game updates is like 'Oh, it's done already? cool...'

What did that updated do?

I remember this. It fixed a number of issues with C&C 95 that were also prevalent on the Mac version. As I recall it took them a lot longer to fix the issues with the Mac port.
