Mathwiz Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 I wonder if the old 16-bit Hearts game from Windows for Workgroups 3.11 will still work over modern networks? If so, will it work over a VPN too?
pangoomis Posted July 10, 2019 Author Posted July 10, 2019 Hearts from 3x/9x do not use a central server like Internet Games do, should be fine forever, I think it's like a LAN thingy... 1
NojusK Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 Welp, 2 days are left until it shutdowns Me and my friend have tried capturing the data traffic of it, but no luck. I hope there is a hero that will save them
win32 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 At 23:06 (UTC -05:00; 20:06 07/30/2019 in Redmond), I just finished a reversi game on Windows Me. Maybe I can have the last internet game to be played on the OS!

i430VX Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 M$ must have meant the end of the day... checkers is still going strong (10:16PM...7:16PM in Redmond)
win32 Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Now 12:05 am in Redmond and I'm still getting whooped in reversi. I thought M$ wanted me to throw away my T41 with windows me and head to the Windows Store to pick up a freemium copy of Candy Crush. Or maybe they're giving a reprieve to the non-existent souls that do not inhabit Baker and Howland Islands, located in UTC -12. 2
i430VX Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 9AM redmond time and I'm playing checkers still. I Guess they forgot. :)
win32 Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Yep. Just checked for myself. Based on some reports on youtube we lost the servers at 12:45 or 1:05 pm EDT (UTC -5). I'm starting to feel withdrawal. So who's up for a Microsoft Hearts LAN Party? 2
ZeroDayDefender0 Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 It's just a matter of time before the update servers are gone
John_T Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 Well it looks like it's broke again....won't connect to the server...
