If you use a guide to get the secrets in the first few levels, and max out force-speed early, you can get through Jedi Knight relatively fast. The levels are big, but they're designed around 1997 hardware, so they're not overly full. Hell, certain parts of certain levels can be skipped entirely if …

Eschalon: Book III Although not everyone who played this trilogy was happy with the ending , I felt it was a very satisfying conclusion to this trilogy. I loved the plot, it leaves a lot of questions unanswered while still answering the bulk of them. Back in Book I, there is a point where you …

I just finished Eschalon: Book III and am now deciding on my next title. I have to decide whether I want to dive into another RPG, or maybe throw a First Person Shooter in before starting another RPG. Some of the titles I'm considering: -Kingdom Come Deliverance is the only RPG I'm considering at …

Eschalon: Book III I'm 40 hours in and am near the end. I'm just completing a couple of remaining side quests and just got into Master Warren's Chamber in Moonrise Underground. This is like THE treasure trove of the game and they give it to you right before the events leading up to the endgame, …

Agreed on playing more, collecting less. I seemed to fall in to this early on in my collecting and am glad I did. Once I found a sweet spot (my P200MMX system) that played all the DOS games I grew up loving, I've been babying this system to help it last as long as possible. Even when I built some …

I think the higher the prices get, the fewer people will buy graphics cards, which will eventually get the supply/demand balance back to normal. Who knows when, though. Depends a lot on Covid and tariffs. Personally, I was contemplating upgrading my son's RTX2060 KO to a 3060 Ti and upgrading my …

While I enjoyed playing with my 486 dx2/66, my POD200 is easily my favorite because it's flexible from 386-25 speeds all the way up to 200Mhz MMX. It's got an Audician 32/DreamBlaster X2, 6GB Quantum HDD, 32MB edo, and a 16x CD-ROM. Sitting on top is a CH Products Mach I joystick and to the right is …

Eschalon: Book III I'm 24 hours into this gem and have hit that stage where I feel like the end is near, but my character is nowhere near powerful enough yet. So there's more world to explore, more monsters to kill for XP, more side quests to level my character up. I chose a Ranger whose primary …

Well, GOG gave me a discount I couldn't turn down, so I bought Kingdom Come: Deliverance Royal Edition today. $17.99 for the game and 5 DLCs. Downloading and installing now. I'll test drive it and if I like it enough, will play after I finish Eschalon: Book III. Seems like it's be a great game. My …

Does anyone else just feel tired of PC Gaming sometimes? I spent most of my entire teenhood playing TF2 daily with online friends, hours and hours on end. When I was alone I'd spend my allowance on steam sales and binge great titles like Saints Row 3, or Borderlands. Im 22 now and I just can't …

I hope you enjoy Monkey Island. Sorry to tell you this but I didn't really enjoy it. It's basically an average game. The characters were okay and the plot of saving the Governor was interesting but I really didn't like how the game relied on jokes and puzzles to move the story. The story wasn't …

I've hit the first really challenging area in Eschalon: Book III. Actually, there are some challenging aspects to this game even when played on easier skill levels. For example, you need to learn skills in order to do certain things, like fight with specific weapon types, use certain kinds of armor, …

U.S. Navy Fighters from 1995 is a DOS PC game that I can't get to run on any of my computers at the moment except for my 486 with Cirrus Logic GD-542X graphics, which kinda sucks because the settings have to be turned down quite low. On everything else, when I go to run the EXE it just hangs at a …

I started Eschalon: Book III last night. I really love this series! I played Book I in late 2017/early 2018, Book II in mid-2019, and now completing the trilogy. It's a great RPG for those who love old school-style RPGs, those who don't have a lot of time, and those who like a relaxing, yet …
