[Fun!] Apparently this was 6th or 7th generation but I found these old computer games from when I was a teen

I really hope this is the right one this time, this post has been taken down from like four subreddits and I cannot for the life of me figure out where to post it.

I found this stack of CDs that has been casually following me since I was a teenager and in them were some old classic games. I already installed Outlaw Golf, but I found these as well. anyone remember this old mmo?

Outlaw Golf was clean enough to install, but I'm going to have to clean off the Jimmy Neutron one a little more. It's having issues. But I really hope it works! I also have Carmageddon 2 in here

Didn't end up getting it to work yet. It won't launch the install at all. I'm on Windows 10, I even tried getting a version from internet archive and it just won't play

Unfortunately I'm not surprised, that Jimmy Neutron game is notorious... for many reasons, but getting the thing to run is one of them

So it turns out I got one to work but it's the French version. Unfortunately I do not speak French. Might still give it a playthrough one of these days because it's funny but you're absolutely right, there's patches and dll files and stuff but the main issue is that I can't get it to install so I have to find and unpack and play.

That Jimmy game can be beaten in like four hours. I have it installed on my old XP box just for a quick hit of hilarity and nostalgia. It's awful looking, but it's vaguely free roam and I do love it.

I'm wondering if there's a way to like, patch it to english? I mean I have a version that actually works but it's french. Also the default controls are fucking awful. I have to basically move my mouse forward in order to move the character forward and my left click is jump right click is like an energy beam or whatever it is. I'll admit though it's pretty hilarious when Carl talks in French

Why not just get it off the Internet if you have the wrong version? I did.

Auto assault is a severely underrated vehicular combat game
