The Gamer's Quarter

I have been dying to assemble a motley crew of ambitious game-people for awhile now. I have made numerous failed attempts at getting one started, with the intent of pushing the envelope with as little ...

For most of the game (I'm still nowhere near done with it--I will get back to it sometime) I did not realise that the dog did anything other than attack. I was kicking myself when I found out about th ...

I actually have a lot of those games thanks to #oldgames. Then again they're probably rips. And then again they probably don't run on my computer, like Thief, Homeworld, and a host of other games I de ...

I was also thinking of doing this with old PC Gamers. I figure that the demos must be available in some form another, even today, but there must be certain iterations of games, maybe beta editions, ra ...

haha dess i was wondering what picture you based it on

i am waiting for my secret password so i can crush daphny's hopes of getting a highscore even more in the NEW AND SOUPED UP version

oh boy. the beard i always wish i had! thanks dess.

I could've gotten way higher, but it got really tense at the end. Do I win?

And I still haven't gotten the good ending. I think I ...

I keep trying to pawn off my game mag collection to [url=http://www.gamesetwatch.com/column_game_mag_weaseling/]ken gifford, to no avail. I feel like that would be the most humanitarian thing to do. O ...

I don't know if I completely agree with that. I think they can be stilted, and yes, do fall into some pretty frustrating non-compelling design sometimes, but I've realised as time goes on that the onl ...

does this mean you never died? is this a riddle?

woops. i meant to write about my highscore shennanigans there but i guess i opted for below.

The aesthetic is spot-on. The presentation is very slick--everything holds to the aesthetic, down to the cards for lives. can i get a sprite sheet of the h ...

Almost through Sam and Max 104 - Abe Lincoln Must Die. It was a free demo on Steam, so my brother and I tried it out. This is my first Sam and Max period. I don't like doing things this way, out of or ...

I found one on chinese ebay and it's A LOT OF MONEY guys. maybe i can get some japanese connects to pick it up for me.

Going to try and import a cart and report my experience itt. I really don't want to play it in emulator.

Where to go? Sad

For years I'd heard about Serious Sam and played it a little while ago at school. It's the most unimpressive "FPS" I've ever played. Completely hollow.

I've finally moved on to season 5 and I have to say I'm a little disappointed. I've read many critiques saying the same thing, too.

It just doesn't have the same 'tour de force' feeling the last fo ...

Remember guys: this isn't the whole game.

Is there something about this game that makes it more compelling than standard WoW-fare (especially since it predates it)?

Keep in mind I have a soft spot for mmorpgs and played WoW briefly, so I'm ...

Take something like Final Fantasy X, a game hard core gamers loathed but was embraced the world over - I found the narrative genuinely inspiring. Could the story of worked in a movie - yes your right ...

Ooh, thanks for the comments and screens, Cycle. I've always been interested in this game.

A trophy full of beer is not adventure game logic. It's obviously a Hell of a lot bigger than a stein!

What! You just proved my point!

Obviously it's bigger than a stein. I figured it out inst ...

yeah, it's absolutely a flawed game. but its failings are interesting failings, whereas fate of atlantis's successes are safe, boring successes.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. I've said in the past t ...

Pre-bed comment: seconding the PSU advice. Don't skimp on PSUs.

I did buy the game way back in its hey-day, and I also have a Lucas Arts collection that includes it. So I'm vindicated.

And yes, most of the guards do say the same exact things, the only differenc ...

So, I just finished Last Crusade with my brother. Good times, but I definitely don't see what I read here in the game.

There were many sections that could have been a lot more interesting but ende ...

Ah, yeah Swimmy. I noticed that about the market sequence once I got past it. That's kind of disappointing. It kind of seems like a lost opportunity there. But then again, I guess they have to be conc ...

That's why the genre is so dead today. Or one reason. SIGH.

No, [url=http://www.oldmanmurray.com/features/77.html]everyone knows why the genre died.

I don't know how interesting [url=http://letsplayforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1393]this would be after you just played through and documented this, but hey--thought I'd drop it just in case it w ...

I think I agree with dess to some extent--for some reason as of late I've been getting interested in what Square USA was up to in the 90s and so I've been trying to check out stuff th ...

Along the lines of what you're saying, dhex, I had an idea for a game recently that would from the outset be concerned not just with historical accuracy but in allowing you to participate in the foul ...
