We will be having a LAN party, focusing on the 1995-2005 decade!

This is a themed event, to the greatest extent possible, even down to the clothes you wear! Here are some examples:

  • Bring music that you listened to during those years.
  • Bring some old shows or movies with you that were popular then. Maybe we can have those playing in the background?
  • Wear clothes that were popular during that time. Got an old favorite band t-shirt?

Recommended PC stats:

  • Refrain from using an operating system newer than Windows 2000.
  • Try to use an old PC, rather than an VM. Time to dust off your old gaming rig!
  • Install IPX/SPX. It would be cool to avoid TCP/IP if possible.
  • If all else fails, just use a VM or DOSBox, an x86 emulator with DOS.

We will be playing games like:

  • Age of Empires
  • Command & Conquer
  • Warcraft 2 – Tides of Darkness
  • Unreal
  • Quake
  • Doom II
  • Half-Life: Counter-strike (beta 5?)
  • Diablo

Because of the age of these titles, some (not all) games will be considered abandon-ware.

Agenda:

  • Saturday @ noon – Doors Open
  • 1:00 PM – Gaming Starts
  • 5:00 PM – Pizza Arrives ($5/person) & More Gaming
  • 11:00 PM – Take Out & More Gaming
  • 5:00 AM – Donuts / Coffee ($2/Person) & More Gaming
  • 11:00 PM – Take Out & More Gaming
  • Sunday @ noon – Gaming Ends

Since Unallocated Space runs off of donations, we would like to mention that the recommended donation for this event is $5. It is by no means a requirement, but it does help us keep the lights on! Attendance to the space, and this party, is 100% free to all! Thank you for your support!
