Gaming - The best ones that I ve played

Console Games.. Woww.. My mind travels back to the 8 bit era where I played the tennis with my uncle & cousin's son for hours together. It was a great game requiring a lot of hand to eye co-ordination & quick reflexes !!

I loved the arcade games such as star galaxy & the car races in the gaming parlors of Mumbai.

It definitely ranks as the best 8 bit game for me ! There were others such as the Baseball.. Super Mario.. Donkey Kong.. & Wrestling to name a few.
A special mention to the Nintendo's F1 racing game which was an all time favorite for me. Also cannot forget the mach rider bike racing game where you could smash your opponent's bike.
We played all this in our Nintendo 8 bit gaming console .

Then cam the 16 bit era where Brian Lara Cricket & The Jungle book were two of the greatest games using which I have spent days on end with my cousins in Mumbai & Bangalore game parlours. We got lucky to get our own SEGA 16 bit gaming console where we could spend some of the most enjoyable summer vacation times.

During the late nineties PC gaming gained a lot of attention as lots of 3D games were being developed for the Windows 98 platform. Of course there were a host of DOS games which I played during 94-96 era such as Dave, pac man, prince of persia, tarzan, Wolfemstien & Aladin.

Then the 3d gaming on windows platform took over the scene. I remember Need for Speed 2 that we played which would give us sheer adrenaline rush just by pressing those keyboard buttons !! NFS2 with mp3 music playing in the background was bliss !!

Cricket 2000 was one of the best game which I enjoyed playing with my bro & my new engineering classmates. There was also the Mortal Combat & Street Fighter games which were there to satisfy our alter egos by kicking & punching the opponents in the game.

Then cam ethe survival horr game series. Shadow Man being one of the most scariest games which Iever played. Hidden & Dangerous & Soldier of Fortune were one of the best war games of early 2000 era.
There was Doom 3D & Quake 3 Arena series providing feed for our shooting game thirst.

The Grand Theft Auto 4 is my latest fling with PC gaming in the recent past since last year.

To be continued.. coming up. the PS2 era experience.

All about the PlayStation 2

I have been a great fan of PC games ever since chilhood. I started with Pac man & Dave on the 386 IBM PC as far as my memory lanes can go back.

Then came Windows workstation 3.1 on which I used to enjoy playing Wolfenstien 3D, Prince of Persia on the Intel's 486 processor.

Then came the Intel's first Intel Pentium processor 586 which my dad bought it for me with 1 GB hdd & 16 MB RAM. :-)
I had a monochrome monitor to start with. The computer service provider had installed Need For Speed 2 game from Electronic Arts in it.

How to Enable Automatic Complete for Cmd Prompt (Cmd.exe)

File name completion and folder name completion are quick-search features of the Windows NT command processor, Cmd.exe. When you type a path or a file name and then press TAB, Cmd.exe searches for all files whose path and file name match your entry.

NOTE: Automatic complete for CMD.exe is not enabled by default in Windows 2000 and later.

When you type a path and then press the TAB key, the command processor searches for all files whose path (but not necessarily the file name) matches your entry. The command processor displays one of the matching file names each time you press TAB. To go backward through the list of file names, press SHIFT+TAB. This article describes how to enable automatic complete for Cmd.exe.

To enable automatic complete for Cmd.exe, use Registry Editor (Regedit) to view the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Command Processor
Edit the CompletionChar value, and set the value of REG_DWORD to 9. Note that you do not need to restart your computer.
