Re: Your old CD-ROMs are probably rotting

The only hardware-based "CD emulators" I've seen work ONLY with ISOs and ONLY in modern OS's. [EDIT] Seems that if you can force your system to boot from it (USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and in older models - eSATA) it *might* boot any OS you want. https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1109139-anyone-used- …

Re: Bought these games today

Just picked this up: http://stoof.sdf.org/images/vogons/Darwinia.JPG Seems like an interesting game from a cool indie studio. I remember being intrigued when it came out, and noticing that it was one of very few commercial games with a native Linux port at the time. Internet told me that the Win …

The game has a fast pace, I liked the action sequences. I think it was shorter than Monkey Island. Wasn't this the shortest LucasArts PointNClick? I think that honor goes to Loom. At least according to howlongtobeat.com So Loom is a short game, isn't it? Many adventure games I didn't play. I guess …

Re: Recommend me my next retro RPG

Nine days (and about 20 hrs) into starting Baldur's Gate, I'm ready to proclaim this the best RPG I've ever played. It's that good. It reminds me a lot of Wizardry 8. Completely different perspective (isometric vs first person), but it's party-based, turn-based, huge world, deep story, lots of side …

This . The full After-Action Report could be found on the thread . Population growth means more workers, and more workers means I could expand to new economics sector previously untouched due to the need to maximize Farm Tools and Sword production.

The old cars are really nice, but how practical is it to actually ride them today? For starter, have fuel octane changed much since 1917? You can order older fuel mixes in 55 gallon cans, call around to race car gas suppliers and you find what your need. The main problem is additives in modern gas …

Re: Gaming "war story"/"tavern tale" thread

Posted on 2017-03-18, 16:06

Once, a very, very long time ago (15 years or so), there was a online website-based game of which the name has slipped my mind (the fog of ages, young whippersnappers!), where one could create a nation that could trade with other nations, form alliances and so on. A turn-based game, each tournament …

How about Dark Sun? The music is sparse, but the opening intro is pretty good. I actually played the opening scene of Dark Sun a few times a couple of weeks ago. It's a game I owned and played when it came out, but never finished. My biggest concern is I REALLY favor traditional RPG settings ( …
