Yes, I strill run a g4/450 too. Except 1,5Gig RAM and a second hard drive I did not change any important things. For most things it still works fine. Worms 3D sometimes shows me the end of my g4's performance, but most times it runs in a playable speed
I must admit, that I had most fun with simple games like pop-pop or other ambrosia-classics instead of state of the art games, too ... Barrack e.g. stole much of my time

I think, the second major reason, after the wrong link to the webtracker, why so many old people do not like pop-pop anymore is pop-pop's age and a resulting secondary growth problem. Look, the average age of player's seems to be above 25 and many of them are over the line of becoming rusty and slow. Except one 8 and a ~15 year old there is no promising "procreation" known to me
Ok there are some mothers and fathers playing but they were all except one not able to enthuse their children to playing pop-pop and this means that pop-pop dies out like crochet clubs in Baden-Württemberg.

Actually, I've found a few people under 20 (me for one - I'm 17) so not strictly true. Pop-pop will always have some people playing it, just probably not very many as is true with most games over a year or so old.

Sorry about the double posting, but last time I checked I wasn't that ancient.

This topic has become up to date again. At least here the tracker is down again for minimum two days. The webtracker shows an open game from Jesse stating that he is waiting 2.6 days now.

Does anybody else have the problem with the unavailable tracker? Did anybody report something to ambrosia already?

Yeah, the tracker is bust here too. Poor Jesse it still there, frozen in time. Hope it's sorted before Saturday's tourney. Come on Ambrosia sort it out!

3.1 days and counting...
