I was attempting to get my copy of X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter installed on Windows 10. I forgot that it's not 64 bit compatible
oh well. -
Interestingly enough, I still have the original box, instructions (Printed cards with key bindings etc) and I have the mislabeled disc version (Multiplayer disc is the "Master Game" disc & "Master Game" Disc is the Multiplayer disc).
...

It might be worth something one day... or not I don't care.
Also of interest, it's 20 years old next year. -

Ah yep... I was the one who managed to get it installed on a network share and was giving the link out to other kids.... it was still there five years later when I started working at the school. Felt terrible having to undo my hard work.

We were allowd to play AOE II, Episode 1 racer and the 1942 demo in the computer lab at school.
At TAFE, we used to play Unreal Tournament in our multimedia class as we could just drag it from the disc and go. -

Ha that was back when Ebaum's World was really big. Our school had a proxy server set up, but I figured out one day all we had to do was uncheck the use proxy server option and we had unfettered access to everything haha. We had some geniuses working at the school.

Because no one else could figure it out... some of the librarians and lab teachers were complaining (and had been since I was in school).

ROFL. Shame on you. You should have at least hid it on another student's account.

We weren't allowed EXE files in our home drives. I had a game where you catapulted kittens at spikes that I'd put in load into my Home Drive and bury it under a massive directory structure ( H:\work\a\b\c\d\e\f\nothing\to\see\here\ etc %game%.exe.
Every day the game would be deleted and every day, I'd put it back... until the IT chap(s?) removed my access permission to the work folder. That wouldn't have been so bad but I was young and didn't know you could do that and I left my assignment for the computer class in the work folder... oh well, no more assignment... lol.

I found out you could use WP6's Drop to Shell to get into DOS from our Novell Netware system. One kid decided to go through and randomly delete stuff and wound up crashing the whole lab. That one actually wasn't my fault.

Some kids in the other lab discovered the net send command and spammed a heap of PC's in my lab. What they forgot was it displayed who sent the message.
They were easily tracked down and "spoken to" -
