elmuerte Posted April 21, 2011 Surely the king of RTS was Z. True, and MAX absolutely wasn't. Even Beasts & Bumpkins was better than MAX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gwardinen Posted April 21, 2011 The words Beasts & Bumpkins and KKND are just setting memories firing in my brain that haven't come up for years. It's wonderful and a little sad. I also played Seven Kingdoms and its sequel the Fryhtan Wars a fair bit. That wasn't terrible. Sort of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elmuerte Posted April 22, 2011 Not true, but it makes things easier. I loved that game, but the last level sucked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted August 25, 2011 Dungeon Keeper 2 and Wing Commander 1+2 are here to stay. http://www.gog.com/en/news/the_great_ea_classics_are_back Six more coming in the pipeline. Propably still no System Shock, but seems like Wing Commander 3, 4 and maybe Prophecy could be coming up. I wonder if these are now the talkie versions, I know that the talkie version exists at least of WC2. Also there are some special missions that were in the Deluxe edition of WC2 that I have somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted August 25, 2011 Kolzig, it's probably. Sorry. I'm going to be an English teacher in a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted August 25, 2011 Sorry. I'm going to be an English teacher in a year. Awesome! I'm going to be an English teacher in 2 years! Start my practicum in a couple of months! Hooray for teaching! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted August 25, 2011 Hah, mine totally ate up my life for its entire duration. Teaching is pretty great, though. I'll be teaching English as a Second Language, so it's a bit different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted August 26, 2011 Kolzig, it's probably.Sorry. I'm going to be an English teacher in a year. Gahhh, I always make that same mistake. You are not first to correct me on that word! I doubt I will ll ever learn my lesson, the wrong way seems to come from my subconscious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

System Shock has been available to download for years and years in a special package that runs on modern machines. I've mentioned it before: http://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=211.0 Make sure you go into the options and enable everything, one-by-one, and then set the game to 1024x768 in the in game menu options.

Thyroid Posted September 23, 2011 Today's promo seems to have been designed to make me suffer. I want it, all of it, and I haven't got the cash. Mind you, the Sega sale on Steam is mighty tempting also. I'm in that place, where I know I want the games but am also partially grateful I don't have the cash to get them because I don't have the time, either... Still, play them in my honour, or something. Yell "FOR KROMS!!!" when you slaughter your first rebellion or your first demon bastard. Or don't. It's all cool. I'm rambling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orv Posted September 23, 2011 I've been meaning to play through IWD2 soon. I've beaten BGII some 60-ish times, so I need to get the rest of the Infinity Engine completely ingrained in my psyche. I'll stab a frost worm for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted September 23, 2011 It reminded me that I own both Baldur's Gate games and prompted me to start playing the first one tonight. I bought them on reputation, having been 11 when BG came out and not knowing about it, and man is the tight camera ever bugging the hell out of me. Those who have lots of experience with the infinity engine, is there a way to zoom out or even rotate the damn camera? It's driving me crazy. None of the other archaic elements of the game are actually bothering me at all, but I wish I could see what the hell was going on around me better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orv Posted September 23, 2011 If you own both of them, have a look at the GOG forums. There should be something about BGTutu, which is a mod/program/thing that converts BG1 to the BG2 engine. It is wonderful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dibs Posted September 24, 2011 Can't you just set the resolution higher, it displays more of the game rather than render differently (does that make sense). i replayed BG2 a while back, but my game bugged in the underdark so that my party would pause every few steps for a second. it made me think i was having many momentary sezieurs so i stopped playing. also, any know if temple of elemental evil ever got fixed up?^^ first time i played it i was unable to loot anything, ever.

Thyroid Posted September 24, 2011 I'm going to do it. I'm going to buy those games. Maybe. Soon. God, help me. I have an addiction but the sale is too good to pass-up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted September 29, 2011 So thanks to the 6 million download mark being hit, Broken Sword Director's Cut is free until October 1st. Add that shit to your library if you (like me) have never played it but always been curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted September 30, 2011 Yes, but don't play the remastered version, it's craaaaaaaap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted September 30, 2011 Would add it, but I already bought all three of them earlier during a sale, even the third one which is crap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted October 1, 2011 I didn't realize the Broken Sword Director's Cut was so awful. To my knowledge they only added close-up windows for dialogue and an extra scene with Nico, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted October 1, 2011 I have only played the Director's Cut and I didn't think it was crap at all. Hard to imagine it being that much worse than the original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brkl Posted October 1, 2011 It's like they took a syringe and extracted the charm (which is what the game has going for it). Horrid 3D rendered animations with massive compression artifacts. Also, the Nico scene is shit. The original has one of the strongest intros in gaming history, this one starts with a whimper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted October 1, 2011 The original game is still in there, but you're right, it's now sandwiched by something substandard. Still, I enjoyed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
