Me too, SirDave! I need something that I can just click a button and use the old 98SE..without having to worry about drivers and "stuff" I am too old to even want to learn about setting up or changing a bunch of stuff on my computer, just want to play games! I am a "caregiver" and my time on the computer is limited, so the KVM switch works great for me! Bill you are a great asset to "Gameboomers" [along with lots of other people here] but it takes gamers like me to "need" you guys, or you would be out of a job! [good pay too, I hear] LOL Raylinstephens...Old ain't bad at all! As you get older, you can look back on mistakes and appreciate the fact that you learned from them...then make them again if you want to..'cause "I" am the boss of me! Another good thing about getting older, I have forgotten most of the "good old games" so I can now play them again on my Win98SE..and they are just like new, only better!! Glynn

Thanks, SirDave & Raylinstephens! I love that option.

The dual boot is too complicated and time-consuming for me to deal with if I don't have to, Bill.

Hi Malanie Sorry..I haven't helped on "UAKM" did you finish it?? I got slowed down when hubby went in the Hospital for 11 days, then it was my turn [Mothers day] I really like the KVM switch...so easy, even "I" hooked it up in just a few minutes!

That is funny Glynn... I am forever starting books only to discover I already read them. But a good book you can read again, and a good game can still be enjoyed over and over. I never see everything there is to see so playing adventure games again is sort of like going to the same vacation spots every year, lol.

I only hope to live long enough to be old. Already got the aches and pains, now I need the age to make it all legal

Hi Linda! I'll meet ya on the way down [I turned 70 my last birthday, now I'm backing up] Glynn's rule! Glynn

Hi Glynn,

Sorry, hubby's been sick again and that you're under the weather too!

I've been very sick with all kinds of incurables and every new specialist finds another one, so no, finishing UAKM is not an option for me without a saved game. I just can't handle the action. I'm in no rush. I'll wait for you to catch up if no one else comes up with a save.

Like Linda said, the old games just get better and this is one that I won't forget where I left off at when I get back to it. I love those fmv's and the good ones just stick to my rusty memory.

Excuse me for asking, but what is UAKM and what are FMV games?

Thanks Jenny! You are right there with the answers!!

UAKM = Under a Killing Moon
FMV = Full Motion Video

Depending on who you're talking to, FMV can be either filmed footage (what people here at GB usually consider it to be) or any movie sequence, including those made of prerendered graphics. So the movie transitions in games like Schizm or Riven that show your vehicle moving to a new location would be considered FMV by some people.

Considering the disagreement about what FMV means, I think it's better to say "filmed footage" when you mean "filmed footage."

You tend to run into the "any movie is FMV" definition more with reviews of other genres, especially console titles.
