Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

I get there's some way to run an old Steam build, but it seems kinda complicated. Is there a way I can move the Steam game directory over to XP from another machine and just run it like that, or somthing along those lines. I have Tomb Raider 1 on Steam but I don't want to go directly to Tomb Raider 2 (that's the one I have the disk for)

Also does anyone know of good places to bulk buy old XP games? Am currently enjoying Die Hard Nakotomi Plaza so like games a bit like that would be cool.

'job lot' tends to be a good search term, people bringing in untested things, you might get a bunch of hidden gems.
