  Yes!! It’ll be fully like being back in the year 2000, widely known as “The DOS days”

    If it was before XP, it was all DOS underneath.

        I bet you had that Windows NT disc version of Diablo 1 too, you pervert.

      XP? The bloated offspring of Windows 2000?

  To be fair, Red Alert came out in 1996 and was available for DOS.

  Red Alert 2, not so much. DOS ports fell off hard by about ’98, so this headline is weird.

  Arstechnica writers have the technological knowledge of a parakeet.

    Parakeets typically understand how to get what they want out of a shell.

    I was gonna say that he might simply not have been around when Red Alert 2 came out, but

    40s Age Range

    So he’s gotta be born no later than 1985.

    Release: NA: October 25, 2000

    So he couldn’t have been younger than 15 at the game’s release (and could have been as old as 25).

    That being said, that game came out a quarter-century ago, and there are people in the workforce who won’t have been born when it was released. Can’t just assume any more.

    I think they have the knowledge, but write only about what brings views.
    From how often they write about Elon Musk, you’d think they are his promotion department.
