And the correct answer is "String or nothing".

No offense to anyone who's into this stuff, but what is the appeal in cataloging and discussing this what's in your pockets?

This doesn't look terrib...[FROM ZACK SNYDER]

Nevermind

I just started tinkering with this yesterday in Gnome on Pop! and it looked like there are options to exclude certain programs from tiling if that's what you're looking for.

I loved DA:O. It was far from perfect, but at the time it was the closest we could get to a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, and Icewind Dale - dark fantasy, tactical combat, and a decent story.

Then DA 2 came along and it felt like an entirely different series. I didn't get it at the time because of how simplified and arcadey it looked. I picked it up on some deep sale and got bored of it pretty quickly.

DA:I seemed to be trending back in the right direction with a bit more tactical combat. I never finished it but it was decent enough on a sale. This looks like they doubled down on DA 2 here and...meh.

Doubtful I would have gotten it anyway since it's EA but I would have loved to have been proven wrong.

Cool, thanks for that. I read John Romero's 'Doom Guy' earlier this year and it was pretty good. Not perfect, but it fed my nostalgia for the olden days of Commander Keen and Doom.

I think some of the later stuff aged well if you're into point and click adventure games and some "retro" looking graphics. But the early ones might be a little janky for anyone who didn't live through that era.

You have to type in the actions you want to do and they looked like this:

 

I hope this is cool to post here. It's a Backerkit project for a documentary about Sierra On-line. I grew up playing these and figured there might be some other old farts around who would be interested.

I remember Kings Quest 6 blowing my mind when it came out and I only had the floppy disk version. I never knew until I was much older that there was a CD-ROM version with full voice over.

The Godfather book has a lot of great character nuances but it also has a subplot of Sonny's enormous dong being the only thing that could satisfy his wife's bridesmaid's enormous vagina.

We had a bootlegged copy of this on VHS when I was a kid and my mother would always make my dad fast forward through the pon farr part...

I did the same a few months back. No problems so far. Some older games require switching up the compatibility layer occasionally but no deal breakers so far.

The "small" games that inspired, if not invented it were Doom and D&D. There was a Doom map called Fortress where you'd attack each other's base and the further you'd progress into your opponent's base, the better weapons it'd unlock for them to use.

A few guys in Australia combined the ideas in a Quake mod called Quake Team Fortress. Then they got hired at Valve to remake it on the Half Life engine as Team Fortress Classic.
