    I just found my box of old games on cd / dvd. I threw them all out because they’re unplayable on modern OSes. If I want to play Red Alert 2, I’ll just pirate it or buy it on steam - someone already did the hard work of either rebuilding it or making a translation layer.

        I retrogame so I don’t have to pay good money for games. Bring on the steam sales where I can get several months worth of games for $20 that will run on my old hardware.

      Ya that’s probably what I need to do with my box. I have already re-bought a couple of the games on Steam, as they were cheap and it was easier than digging the box out.
