Trash collection is the worst. It made me almost lose the hospital mission with 10 patients to go. I bought all the trashcans I could but I had trouble keeping up.

Dog Fat Man Chaser posted:The more I play the less I can recommend Inquisitor. If you enjoy plodding slowly wondering what obscure quest trigger you missed from an NPC that's in some location you'll hope to just wander upon, and enjoy slowly hitting a door over and over for 30 goddamn minutes to get past it because you had the audacity to play a priest, you might have more fun than I'm having now. That's disappointing. It has an interesting premise.

I really want to try Outlaws. Is there any place to buy a downloadable copy? Steam doesn't have it. The only place I can find is Amazon, which has some used copies.

You'd think they could at least release SS1, since it was developed by Origin at around the same time as Ultima Underworld.

QFG owns. Has anyone else had trouble exporting their character from QFG1 EGA using scummvm? I played that version (instead of dosbox) because it has a "no dither" mode, but I could never figure out how to export my character.

The Witcher wouldn't stop crashing and freezing on my Mac.

Riven is awesome. I have really fond memories of playing it as a kid. It was one of the few adventure/puzzle games I managed to beat with no hints (at the time). I highly recommend it if you enjoyed Myst. edit: What do you guys mean about "Powerpoint" style? a starchy tuber fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Dec 7, 2012 |

andrew smash posted:Does anybody know if it's possible to run the geneforge games in a window on OS X? You can install the Windows version to a Wineskin and configure it to run in a "virtual desktop" window. The game will think it's in fullscreen mode. The only downside is it might capture the cursor. I'm not sure how to free it - perhaps there is a hotkey like in Virtualbox.

Gabriel Knight 1 is a classic adventure game. It's pretty long, it has a great plot, good writing, challenging (but well-done) puzzles, and a killer atmosphere. I think it's my favorite Sierra SCI game. GK2 is really good for an FMV game. The Grace chapters can get pretty boring, but the Gabriel chapters and the ending make up for it. I wouldn't bother with GK3 unless you get the bundle. Apart from the graphics, interface, and convoluted puzzles, the story isn't that great.

Never played Lords 1 or 3. Isn't 3 the one with the tower-climbing wolves? It looks terrible, but the other ones are worth a try. edit: I wish they got Emperor before doing this sale.

The Cultures games look like Settlers with more micromanagement, which I find strangely appealing. I'll have to pick them up in a couple of days.

Bunch of new Mac versions. I just downloaded the Windows version of Blackwell last night and installed it in Wineskin. At least having real mac versions will save me the trouble of configuring them.ten dollar bitcoin posted:Tower Defense and Match 3 games are what you make when you can't come up with a good idea for a game.

I know for sure that Blackwell and Witcher 1 use Wineskin, because I've had to tweak them to make them playable. The DOS ones I currently have installed - Theme Hospital, Pirates! and Crusader: No Remorse - all appear to use Boxer.

Al Baron posted:Never played Outlaws, but I played a metric fuckton of Afterlife back in the day. The Four Surfers of the Apolcalypso Afterlife is a severely underrated game. I also played it a ton when it came out. I never did make it far enough to get the acrology-style buildings I always hit a tipping point where it became maddening to keep up with balance and maintenance. And the disasters were crazy. Hopefully it will see the light of day once again. I don't think you can buy it anywhere these days, except used.

andrew smash posted:Is this a typo? Isn't win7 the default OS for them at this point? It's the default for new games (and has been for some time), but I think there are still some issues with Win7 on certain titles that have been in the catalog for a long time. A lot have been fixed (like Space Rangers), but a few still have issues (like Sanitarium in W7 64bit).

Overwined posted:To me it all depends on whether or not the single player component is 100% functional without a login of any kind. If I have to create an account to go multiplayer, that's fine. But if I choose to avoid online play (and I usually do) it should be something I never have to deal with or think about. That's what it sounds like to me. Of course, "100% functional" means AI skirmish battles, because there is no single-player campaign planned. Also - what do they mean that "direct connect" won't require a login? Does that imply that private, ad-hoc internet multiplayer games will be allowed without needing to log-in?

Gearbox has acquired the Homeworld franchise: http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/community/articles/1029/homeworld-acquisition-and-plans/ Given Gearbox's relationship with Valve, this probably means that it's not getting released on GOG anytime soon.

It's a really great game. The first third is kind of a depressing slog, but after that it hits a stride and becomes very compelling. I need to get around to playing it again so I can try some of the other endings.

In Evil Genius, I'm having trouble with enemy investigators and low-level agents randomly shooting my lockers. They just stay in the front of my base - I don't keep any heat-generating stuff up there (just barracks, staff room and security desk so far). The two security cameras that cover the corridor outside my barracks don't seem to care. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Section Z posted:I have no idea why they would be shooting lockers aside from the already suggested "Are they blocking pathing?" On that note, I hear if you put 4 power generators against eachother in a square arrangement it counts that little pixel of air between them as "blocked" and it spawns special mine into your base operatives like pissed off mole men. They're not blocked as far as I can tell. The corridor is two blocks wide, which is enough room for my couple of dozen minions to move about. Oh well, I guess it means that I'll have a steady supply of torture victims.
