eric_ruck Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Anyone tried Yahoo Games on Demand yet? Anyone even know about it yet? If you have broadband it's pretty neat. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 I read about it a few months ago but I didn't know it was a real, live product now. Sounds pretty interesting, have you paid for some games yet? 3 day, $4 rentals sounds good for PC games, close in price to video stores.

eric_ruck Posted September 26, 2002 Author Share Posted September 26, 2002 Actually the game packages sound like a great deal, if you don't play more than 4 or 5 different games in a month (which sounds reasonable to me). I haven't tried the service on Yahoo, but (here comes the disclaimer, sort of) I have friends who work at the company that provides the technology and took part in the beta. I played Max Payne on their underpowered beta server, and it worked extremely well, except for an occassional glitch in the sound -- sometimes when the other characters talk to you they stutter. I'm guessing this is a buffer underflow issue, and maybe it has been fixed in the 6 months or so since I last tried it. For reference, the machine I played on as a client was a P3-500, Win98, cheap graphics card, and a cable modem. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
