GC9X Livestream: Please Register Your Shareware

COMING SATURDAY, MARCH 22ND, 9 PM EST/8 PM CST...

GAME CLUB 199X PRESENTS: PLEASE REGISTER YOUR SHAREWARE



Next Saturday, fire up NetZero, crank up your Linkin Park CDs, and check your ICQs for the next GC9X livestream! This time around, we're focusing on the many, many shareware games floating across the internet, and we'll be getting together taking a look at them!

The good...



The bad...



And my favorite type, the strange and obscure!



Using the combined powers of DOSBox for DOS games and Oracle VM VirtualBox for Windows 95, 98, and beyond, we'll be playing through 1,000 GREAT GAMES!* I'm busy gathering up any shareware compliation CDs I can find, so that together we can see what kind of stuff we can find on these things. So, while I'm collecting games, if you have any special requests, PLEASE put them in the thread, so I can collect them and play them live on stream for you!

It all begins Saturday, March 22nd, 10 PM EST/9 PM CST! But remember, you can only watch us 5 more times before you have to pay for our extra features. (Note: This is not actually true. ...Yet.)

The link, once the stream begins, will be found here: www.livestream.com/robertenaytor

* We won't actually play 1,000 games. And they're not all great. We can't even promise all of these will work.

EDIT: I made a small error on the time the stream starts, so I want to apologize for this. I meant to say 10 PM EST, or 9 PM CST.

  1. Oh boy, nearly missed this because I don't look around here that often at the moment because of the lack of content.
    Have fun playing shareware games, I have fond (and horrible) memories of these CDs from back in the day. Do you know about archive.org's shareware CD collection? The collection can be found here: https://archive.org/details/cdbbsarchive

    1. Don't worry, we'll have it on Youtube hopefully in the next couple of weeks or so, so watch our GC9X Home Video channel for that. Sorry you missed it, but thanks for the interest! And yeah, I'm aware of that collection, and it's pretty great, although I didn't use it much that time around.

      ...Maybe we'll need another stream or two to cover the mass of shareware that we didn't cover...
