@lina From the reuse of XP icons, this looks a lot newer, but the same idea.

@alyx it's better because their website included trainers for pc games and often offered tips and tricks along with cheat codes, it was the bomb

@Curvin Yup. It stopped being updated in 2006, but it had cheats, trainers, guides, tips, walkthroughs, everything you could have needed to get through a game. I guess it was more useful in the days when regular internet access wasn't a thing, since you'd download it once and keep it on hdd.

@lina The same was true for dlh too. It has trainers and guides in the offline database. Even some savegames it seems. Managed to find it on archive.org.

things like those are even less useful today because every single game teels you exactly what you need to do, and where to go, in one way or another, but it's nice to come back to these when you need to get over an obstacle in an older game

@Mr_NutterButter Is the 3rd time the charm? Anyway, dlh is more millennial generation than boomer. Still pretty old stuff. I don't expect many people to remember 1998 software.

@alyx legend tells of a species of human that was born after such marvels of technology were created.Legend even says you may even be speaking to one without even knowing it.

@Mr_NutterButter You kinda need to use them yourself to see the beauty. Seeing someone else use them is like watching someone else use marijuana and expecting you get a high.

@kallisti @Mr_NutterButter I think it depends a bit on where you were born too. Technically the cassette was already obsolete in the 90s, but I saw use up to the mid 2000s.

@kallisti @Mr_NutterButter I think I remember seeing something similar... I remember a demonstration where someone put multiple floppy disc images on a flash storage, and he could change the image the computer saw at the push of a physical button.
