windows xp fun

[Ethanadams]

so i was bored booted up my old laptop which still runs xp for about half an hour i played pinball with debug mode on. then i realized that xp has some really cool themes. if you still run xp there's a screen saver that comes with the os and its an astronought in Eva around a space station orbiting the earth you should try it out because it is really cool especially with the high def graphics

my favorite thing about old games is there debug modes wich modern games dont have for some reason.

like ion microsoft pinbsl spce cadet just after starting the game if you type in hidden test and hit enter before the game starts you can control the ball with left clicking your mouse

That must be something that is only packaged with your laptop. Might also be part of a software bundle for the GPU, because it certainly sounds like something designed to show off graphics power.

I had standard WinXp Pro and have NEVER seen this screen saver.

The "Space" screensaver came with the Plus pack add-on. Along with some very nice fish

I just realized - these days you'd call the Plus pack "DLC" - lol.
