Inow have a copy of "Half-life" (1998) and I am still waiting for more multimedia hardware and RAM too be emulated on PCem so I can make a replica VM ofmy family's multi-media computer from when I was a kid, from the GDI to the aceletator, but enough of that let's get on to what to the subject of the topic I am about to mention.

I was wanting to ask you something about the first counter strike game which started out as a mod. How good is the framerare Counter strike 1.6 on Windows 95 A (The original version from 1995, I have the CD where you have to upgrade it from Windows 3.1) when using Voodoo 2 SLI?


Just download cs 1.5 and try it out. Update 1.6 and every patch since requires steam, which doesn't work on win9x anymore. Maybe a cracked version would work, but you need a cracked "no steam" version period, unless you can find a way to get steam working on 9x.


given his age, he wouldn't have been able to install it on steam in win9x with the Steam installer enforcing COPPA compliance. By the time he's of age, Win98 (and Win2000) support in Steam were already phased out


and CS stopped being "just a mod" in 2003. 1.6 (and all the updates for 1.6) are strictly commercial products tied to Steam. Any attempt at detanlging Steam from it or using a "fixed version" would wind you up with incompatibilities and aimbot hackers for your playerbase, as well as vulnerabilities (that HTML MOTD system in Goldsrc/Source is nasty).


More of your lies, I ran 1.6 on 98 no cracks or anything even after steam dumped 98 support. It dose not need steam it can run without it just move the game files to you 9x system and install it like is a half life mod, or that did work when I last tried it a few years back.


As a kid in 2004 I remember playing (well, trying to) Counter Strike 1.6 on an Windows 98SE machine with AMD K5 and 64MB of RAM. It ran at something like 1FPS every 3-4 seconds. It was an modified version with ZBot installed.


I'll do this now and see if it works since I have 1.6 on steam. I'm assuming I wouldn't be able to connect to any VAC secured servers, but in 2017 who knows what people are on. I usually just host a server and invite friends these days anyway.
