  1. EMULATOR, sorry, I used the wrong word. I have the emulator called DOSBox.

    DOSBox is a simulator?

    Actually, DOSBox is an emulator. It serves as a virtual environment for running old DOS programs and offers them the old-skool output possibilities. Say, who of you remembers IRQ, DMA, etc settings for the sound in old games? Well, it offers exactly that; because those are no longer compatible with nowadays versions of Windows. Same thing with graphics.

  3. Yes, yes, I corrected my own mistake there smile

  4. Hey Martijn while you're checking out those LucasArts classics, be sure to give The Dig a try, it's not a comedic adventure like Monkey Island, but an incredibly atmospheric and captivating sci-fi trek into the unknown, set on a mysterious alien world. It's really quite brilliant, and has a gorgeous musical score and good dialogue / voice acting. It features Robert Patrick, when he was still hot because of T2. punk

    You think I don't know The Dig? wink

    But it's not as high on my "to revisit" list as some others, though I might add it in a next foray into Steam, if it's as cheap as Last Crusade was.

  6. Martijn, what's Steam exactly?

  9. Steam is the download delivery platform Valve started using when Half-Life 2 was released (Q4 2004). In the beginning it was only used for making those games in that universe / from the developer (Counter-Strike, Half-Life and so on) available for purchase. Now it's easily the number one game purchase / delivery system. What's so great about it is your games are always auto-updated and if your files should become corrupt for any reason, the Steam software is able to correct the problem without having to download / reinstall everthing.

    Hey Martijn, I remember those news on MONKEY ISLAND too from a month ago or so. Awesome news!

    I was - probably much like you - a Lucasarts junkie in the 90's (and in fact any adventure game from other companies too...GABRIEL KNIGHT, PHANTASMAGORIA, BLADE RUNNER, BROKEN SWORD, the various QUESTS, THE SEVENTH GUEST, THE RIPPER and so on and so forth - even those weird abstract ones like RIVEN and MYST), so I'm very much enjoying this revival or "nostalgia" trip these days. This is from a time when I - too - was into computer games. I'm not anymore. I think I phased out around the millennium turnover somewhere, when the games themselves were going out of fashion (in favour of 3D shootem-ups and stuff, which I have never - nor will I probably ever - like).

    Anyways, this new MONKEY ISLAND installment may get me back in the game, literally speaking.
    I am extremely serious.

    I downloaded Battlefield 1943 two weeks ago for a mere 15 usd. (PS3 online store)... its a download game only, but what a great game it is. Very similar to the old school games, like Day of Defeat or Counterstrike. I play it daily. Banzai! (its Japan VS US war game) Recommended.

    I've just installed a golden oldie : The Thing .
    I bought it very cheaply some years ago and it was still waiting to be played and it was still in its original wrapping ! I'm a few levels in and it's a nice atmospheric game just like the movie which I'm a fan of ...
    Why haven't I installed this earlier ? rolleyes

    If I remember correctly, that game had pretty good visual effects, and the atmosphere to keep reminding you of the game, I thought it was considered to be a pretty good game back then
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh
  17. I remember The Thing, a sort of sequel of the film, I played it for a time but then I got bored with it... The gripping atmosphere sure didn't last.

    But this oldie sure remains gripping in every way:

    System Shock 2

    Frakin' brilliant IMO. 10 years old but what a complex game both design- and story-wise. If you ever wanted a totally immersive and addictive single-player RPG with a great storyline this is it. I never got around to playing it when it released, I was more into Doom and Quake at the time, you know, brainless (but fun) shooters. But this is only my second time going through the spaceship and its many alien-infested decks, dark-lit corridors and claustrophobic rooms. And the way you get sucked into the story and its evolving twists is only equalled by reading a great book or watching a classic film. The way you upgrade your character is solely up to the player, be it either a gung-ho mercenary, a flexible hacker or a user of psionics (magic if you will). This game has stood the test of time, thanks to its incredibly deep quality design and level of immersion.

    That's another one from my own past, so I have connection to it. That's the one where you run around corridors with all those red lights, right?

    As I said earlier, it's not my type of game (I don't like 3D shootemups), but I remember watching a friend of mine play this. It actually wasn't so bad to watch someone ELSE play these games (like DOOM, DARK FORCES etc.), kinda like watching a movie. I just couldn't play them myself.

    Not yet. But I disliked the previous (Order Of The Phoenix) game so I'm not sure if I'll buy it without trying out at some friend's place first. Have you played it? What's it like?

    I played Shadows Of Angmar at a friend's house and LOVED it. Sadly my broadband connection isn't really that great so I tend to get a lot of lag while playing online. Will buy it when I can anyway though, the graphics are incredibly lifelike!

    Urhm... you talkin' about SS2 or The Thing? SS2 is a first-person action RPG, not a straight forward shooter like Doom or something, it's incredibly more complicated both in design and what you as a player are expected to do. This is a game you need to use your head for. And it's atmosphere is second to none.

    Hah! Pinball machines... great! I remember that I often went to the "friettent" (that a Dutch cafetaria where they sell all kinds of fries and stuff)... there they had a pinball machine, I think it was 'Gilligan's Island, and later the 'Adam's Family'. What happened that often my fries got cold because I got free balls all the time (several jackpots in a row... you know how it goes)... hahaha... pinball machines. Love them. Sometimes I just left because I played for one hour or more on one guilder only.
