Mathwiz Posted July 9, 2019 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMateczko Posted July 10, 2019 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NojusK Posted July 29, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i430VX Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 M$ must have meant the end of the day... checkers is still going strong (10:16PM...7:16PM in Redmond) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win32 Posted August 1, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

win32 Posted August 1, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
