    Civilization IV Complete Edition (disc) on Windows 10?

    Having read @DracoLazarus 's Civ IV AAR in Chat, I've been looking at getting the game again for my new PC. As it happens, I discovered this morning just before I left for work that I still have the PC-DVD release of the "Complete Edition" (including the base game, "Beyond the Sword" and...

    Which to get - Victoria II or HoI IV?

    My paycheck is in tomorrow and I'm contemplating my Steam wishlist. Victoria II is $19.99, but Hearts of Iron IV,which is usually $39.99, is on sale this weekend for $23.99. Decisions, decisions... (Stellaris is $39.99 so I'm waiting until there's a sale, and anyway my DVD of GalCiv III is...

    Thought experiment (and possible TL): What if Cleo Moore gets into politics?

    While I was preparing today's classic-actress entry for the Cahiers du Cinema thread ( https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/cahiers-du-cinema-the-classic-movie-buffs-thread.396450/ ), I got to thinking about what if today's subject, B-movie/film noir "bad girl" Cleo Moore...

    AHC: OS/2 Warp survives as a credible alternative to Windows

    Your challenge for today: Come up with a set of circumstances in which IBM's OS/2, specifically its later versions known as "Warp", survives to the modern day as a credible, reasonably popular mass-market alternative to Windows (even though Windows would still be the most widely-used OS), in a...

    A Knee In The Wrong Place: Franz Ferdinand Lives and Reigns

    Since Hobelhouse has decided to put "Franz Ferdinand Had A Much Better Day" on ice, and as MrP has also put "Pour le Coeur" on hiatus, I guess I may as well try my own hand at a "Franz Ferdinand lives" TL. I'm going to need a good deal of help as things go along; I may try "plausibility checks"...

    Offbeat scenario idea: what if "Golden Age of Haute Couture" continues?

    In several TL's I've posted in (e.g., "Viva Balbo!") I've inquired as to what effects the ATL's events might have on the development of fashion and haute couture. I want to look at a scenario (much more of a cultural ATL than a political ATL; there won't be any battles here, unless it's enraged...

    Opening Atlantis

    So, I got Opening Atlantis (Turtledove's latest) Sunday and finished it today. I will say, I liked it. The concept of an "eighth continent" formed by what would have been the eastern part of North America never merging with the rest of the continent is fascinating, and so far the AH scenario...

    "Nippon Chinbotsu" (Japan Sinks)

    I'm curious to know if anyone else here has seen this movie (I'm thinking more of the 1972 original than the 2006 remake, and certainly not the excessively cut version released in the US under the name "Tidal Wave"; the original clocks in at 143 minutes). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070447/...
