I never used Vista. I had played some stuff on XP, can't remember the name of the first one so I'll just say Lemmings, which I think was the second one I played.
Crysis 1 on my 8800 ultra that broke the fricking bank and had like 25fps at 1024x768
I used vista till 2012 as well. Never had problems with it once.
Gaming at this time was fricking garbage though, before steam really took off in like 2008-2010 pc gaming was a terrible experience.
man I used to frick around with the vista laptops at circuit city thinking it was so cool compared to the xp shitbox I had at home
I really miss being excited for the future
Hold on, I have my laptop in the other room that still has Vista on it
I used it to play all kinds of stuff in my first two years of college -- mostly Source engine games like Half Life 2 (and the TCs like Science and Industry, Natural Selection, etc.) and Counter Strike along with emulated SNES games and the occasional round of Warcraft 3 and Navy Field. Then I built a gaming rig and stopped using it.
The last game I played on it was Rimworld a few years ago actually. It wasn't apparent back in the day but Vista's infamous TCP/IP lag spikes due to faulty autoconfiguration scripts became much more noticable over the years

So, sometime around 2002 or so, my dad bought me and my brother a boxed set of a bunch of different Lego games, one of which was Drome Racers.
Drome Racers refused to work on our home computer (XP), either of my dad's laptops (Me and 2000), and it still didn't work on our Windows 7 computer later on.
The only thing that it worked on was the Vista laptop that I got for university, and even then it stopped working after service pack 1.
never. went straight from xp to 7. my family once bought a pc with vista installed, but so much of our software didn't work on it. including all the games i tried. we had to install xp.

IIRC I pirated Gears of War
it was terrible and slowly, I ended up just using my new rig for shit that ran on XP, like Jedi Academy and BG2

I probably played Battlefield 2142 or World of Warcraft at first.
I don't remember because I've been PC gaming since Windows 95

This. My brother got a Toshiba laptop and I think we had a Crysis demo. Still enjoyed it
I remember playing crysis at medium on a dell xps with a nvidia 8400 or so, good times
Nfs Underground 1 or 2, Fable maybe
I know Vista is the OS of my first own laptop
Can only play games from a few years back

troubleshooting why none of my games worked anymore
what the actual frick was Purble Place
Soul. I remember needing some weird tool to import games that didn't support that stupid games explorer thing. Also the WEI was a cool.
Vista sp2 is the last soulful Windows.
Sure 7/10 is better but Vista had best UI
chess titans was the biggest graphical leap in gaming
I used XP until Windows 7

Maybe the 2012 shit was real, Windows had soul until 8.
I went from windows xp to windows 7
I'm jealous
Don't be
Barkley Shut Up And Jam Gaiden. Since it didn't work on XP.
The game was just too powerful.
i played the spongebob point and click game on vista in 2008
Vista was utter dogshit and the only "game" you would play was

Nobody willingly used this shit and fortunately Win7 came soon after.

I'm only mad about DX10 being Vista exclusive.
So many games could have performed better if they were built from the ground up with that in mind, but DX9 remained for XP compatibility.
Guild Wars
Spore. Frick you, I liked it.

i played this on win10 no problems. gtx 1080
I'm so glad that hispanics used to hack XP so much that I had some weird version of it that let me skip Vista. What an ugly-ass UI.
Skipped Vista sadly, UI looked based but it would run badly on my single core PC back then

The hell?
>uninstall the platform that exclusively had DX10 support for 6 years
I guess a moronic poser would do something like that
one of the first games i tested on my new pc was Mirror's Edge, the visuals blew my mind but it was already pretty dated at that point
anyone else never use RSS in their entire life?
For me it's
