Book fairs were how I got Sim City 2000, Sim Copter, Myst, and a cartoon maker that is now torturing me because I can picture it vividly but have no idea what it was called. You could set characters to have different poses and even change the tones of their voices, all of which were done through Microsoft Sam-like interpreters Anyways....Hugo's House of Horrors??? I'm nostalgic for it even though my brother and I hated it  After a trio of adventure games, they tried their hand at a Wolf 3D clone with dubious results https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrT-19uz-pI

GOG's Dangerous Dave Pack hasn't gone on sale in more than 4 years. I will buy it when it does.

One of the few dos games I finished as a kid out of the stack of burnt CDs my grandma had was the Legend of Kyrandia the most memorable thing about this game is the dark cave you have to drop glowing berries on the ground to keep lit, and if you enter a dark room without one you die. Always heard the direct sequel was really good but I never played it, and the one after that where you play as the villain from the first game is one of the most confusing games I ever played as a kid Good soup! posted:Anyways....Hugo's House of Horrors??? I'm nostalgic for it even though my brother and I hated it played through this on the early america online section that had downloadable dos games, I dont remember what it was called anymore

Good soup! posted:Anyone ever play Lemmings 2, I remember seeing the box in stores and liking the cover at least, but never got it TCRF posted:If the game is installed to a hard drive, and the installation is subsequently copied to a different hard drive, an anti-piracy measure takes effect: only the first level of each of the 12 tribes will be playable. The precise authentication mechanism apparently relies on the game being installed to a FAT16 partition at the start of the drive; while this was a common setup at the time of the game's release, a crack tends to be necessary to install and run the game on a FAT32 partition. bane of my childhood lol

Some of my best gaming memories is when I would boot a new game on the home computer and the Apogee logo would appear, I loved those games. One Must Fall 2047(?) Was also an incredible gem I'd recommend to anyone into fighters, the championship mode had a cool system where as a manager you had to invest in the actual machine the fighter uses and had to go to harder tournaments to get more prize money to invest in your mecha.

That was the second point-and-click game I ever finished, despite not having a manual. As far as copy protection goes, Space Quest VI's was particularly annoying.  Not really understood all the hate for it, but it was the first game in the series I played.

Autisanal Cheese posted:I loved Space Quest VI, and was disappointed to find out its predecessors didn't have so much voice acting. The sad thing is that they had plans for a "talkie" version of Space Quest V which would have been awesome, given it's a straight Star Trek: The Next Generation parody, and definitely misses out by not having voices. I think they got so far as starting the casting proceses, but the budget just wasn't there for it, so it was scrapped VI had some genuinely funny narration by Gary Owens, but also came with some dogshit puzzles like having to assemble the fake Roger decoy out of the food in the brig. I still like a lot of the gags and the visuals are nice Also that transcoder puzzle or whatever it was called was incomprehensible for my kid-self and my older brother didn't have much luck, that thing was complete horseshit, good god

The One Must Fall sequel was the first game I ever got chosen to be a beta tester for. I'm convinced they actively hated all the feedback they got because it was dogshit from start to finish as far as development goes e: OMF2097 was an oddly solid fighter for its time and holds up decently, I'd love to see a studio take a crack at remaking or remastering it also thatt menu theme loving rules https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdVnKYcYi3g Good soup! fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Feb 25, 2023 |

I remember playing I.M. Meen at school at my teacher got super annoyed that the weapon of choice were your fists, and she insisted I look for magic wands and other projectiles or ELSE Aside from doing grammar questions and other puzzles in between Wolfenstein 3D sections, it had an infamous musical opening that is terrible and was animated by the same studio that did the CD-I Zelda games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWCLqC73H6c

In an era when we got horrendous console ports like the original Street Fighter 2 and those EGA Mega Man games, the DOS port of Mega Man X is amazing imo Fun fact, the first time I beat MMX was on PC with a fuckin Gravis GamePad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LDDXBJ2DsQ

I had to put some silly putty on the dpad because it had that stupid rear end hole you could screw a tiny, useless joystick into it. Otherwise it would dig into your thumb and wreck your poo poo The Pro was a decent upgrade as it was essentially a PS1 controller but they still kept the joystick thing

i don't envy the pixel artists of old who had to make everything look as close to the same as they could on 27 different graphics and hardware standards that all had less than nothing in common and probably didn't even come from the same planet. (from dragonstrike, a weird dragon flight simulator)
