I know what you mean though. I’m really looking forward to playing Dusk on Switch with gyro aiming. Hopefully they add it to the pc version since Steam Deck will also have that option.

That's the great part about Steam Input - if you have a controller with good motion controls you can have gyro aiming in whatever game you want.

So what's the best Source Port for Quake II, tried Yagami and it seems fine but not quite as good as Quakespasm Spiked has been for the first game

Also beat the main campaign for Quake 1 and moved onto Scourge of Armagon and it's first couple levels definitely fix the issue I had mentioned about the Tech Base levels being underused and the new weapons are pretty neat, though the first fantasy level Ancient Realms is mean like you're barely into it and they start tossing Shamblers and Vores at you before you have anything more potent than a Nailgun or Grenade Launcher(and not much ammo for either), and I'm on easy here I can only imagine how brutal it must be on say Nightmare(wonder if this is why Civvie didn't do the expansions for either of his Quake videos)

I spent an embarrassing amount of time this past year searching through old PC Gamer magazine archives searching for a demo disc demo I've never been able to recall or find (a textureless, primitive looking early 3D game where you direct a microchip looking robotic spider/bug thing through dangerous environments with a weird control scheme, it's beside the point I guess) and magazines really are powerful. I don't think I can pinpoint exactly why either but it's probably to do with some mix of nostalgia, the tactile element, getting free game demos every month when I couldn't afford games of my own, and being the target demographic for the particular brand of "badass" advertising the 90's specialized in. It's a real good time just flipping through some old PCG magazines and letting the memories of sights, smells and emotions run through you. I wish I were capable of being that excited over anything on earth these days. The online archives are nice particularly since you can download a lot of the demo disc .iso's but I wish I had the real deal around. Maybe the library has some tucked away. e; Back in the 56k days maps, mods and skins were a bit more novel and more of a chore to acquire, so getting some bonus material on the demo discs was appreciated and felt like a special present when you actually happened to own the game they were for. I still remember padshop being my introduction to coconut monkey and USS Darkstar is still somehow one of my absolute favorite SP half-life mods. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COlB69qpowk treat fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Jul 18, 2021 |

Galapagos I also played it off a demo disc. The big deal was that the insect was supposed to “learn” from your actions and either trust or distrust you.

I love/hate quests like these. A quick search for "PC Gamer CD contents" linked to a dead link but the Internet archive has it here: https://web.archive.org/web/20180715110709/http://www.blackfalcongames.net/?p=183 Nothing on the lists struck me as the one, but maybe it will help trigger the memory? Totally already beaten, but I love the Wayback Machine.

I was using the Internet Archive https://archive.org/details/pcgamer-cdroms and it's no surprise I wasn't able to find Galapagos, it's demo is only listed as appearing in the May 1998 Italian edition of PCG.

It feels like we're not too far away from a world where devs can put up (and even charge for) prototype/beta/cancelled builds of iconic games. Hell, some Rareware dudes leaked an unreleased version of Goldeneye only a couple of months ago...

The Duke Forever fan-made mod that fans put together in the build engine is pretty drat great. I know its not exactly what you're looking for, but its a fantastic recreation of what we all imagine could have been. Amazing how many IPs just languish out in the ether, Duke included. The goldeneye leak is a) impressive b) 99% finished and 110% playable and c) incredibly easy to install and enjoy.
