I remember mostly liking it. More than HL1. I don’t remember much beyond the bootcamp and how you could use your squad.

Acidbath, do games w Some Older PC games I have, just wanted to share.

I didnt know oni was on pc. Ive been playing it recently on ps2 and let me say the movement in that game is amazing.

Arkhive,

I recently went through getting it to run on Linux. It’s one of the only Bungie games I haven’t played. Shockingly in depth combat, I’m enjoying it, but I’m bad at combo based fighting games, so I’m playing it in very bite sized pieces.

If it’s on a cd, it ain’t old yet.

qbus,

Your computer still has a CD drive. How retro

TachyonTele,

I didn’t know for like six months that mine has a cd/dvd drive. It’s practically hidden.

essell,

Exactly.

Old games come in large cardboard boxes to accommodate the manual, with disks rattling around inside.

And in one case, a vacuum packed t-shirt too!

Modern_medicine_isnt,

Ahhh the manuals… and the mail order hint guides. Those were the days.

essell,

Did anyone ever fill out those registration cards?

skygirl,

Okay grandpa

Modern_medicine_isnt,

Not yet, but I am old enough… lol

nutsack, do games w Funko gets community noted

It’s good in theory but still doesn’t work. For political lies, someone from both parties has to approve the note and the conservative often vetoes it.

Available on both Apple and Google stores? That’s a near instant pass to me, too.

HawlSera,

They say: “Sonic Dream Team is an Apple Arcade Exclvusive, maybe we’ll do a port one day if our contract allows” I hear: “Sonic Dream Team is in devleopment hell and may never be released”

I hate when companies inconvenience me while trying to disrupt a near-monopoly by my benign benefactors.

Are they trying to disrupt a “near-monopoly” or is Epic trying to create its own monopoly through exclusivity deals?

I wonder how much Epic games makes at the end of the day. most companies that do stuff like this operate at a huge loss, functioning only through investment capital until they starve out their competition and become the head of a monopoly at which point their investors become even more pointlessly wealthy. However I believe this works so often because those competitors are also operating off of investor capital and eventually their investors decide to sell out and switch teams to get some of their investment back. How does this work with Valve? Unlike companies previously discussed Valve is a privately held company and has control over their own company, as evidenced by the fact that they seem to make discissions in favor of long term goals instead of short term profits, a concept that has grown foreign to the US market. On top of the fact they are currently the leader in online game sales, I’m unsure how epic can justify, what i would assume, is a huge sum of money constantly paying for exclusives. Maybe im wrong and the pie is so large Epic is currently operating financially soundly. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Regardless we should all be happy that this market is not a clear cut monopoly, competition is a consumer win.

About the majestic soundtrack of Doom: That’s why it’s still my ringtone.

@LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Donkey Kong Country had like. One of the best video game soundtracks of all time. Game was really hard towards the end too. One of my fav games of all time.

Doom could apply here too. ID was very much a small studio of dorks with a limited budget.

MegaMan 2 isn’t a 90’s game though.

Road_Warrior_10,

Haha, probably some overlapping tags with Firewatch, but Out Worlds? I haven’t really played it is it a space walk sim or something?

donuts,

The Outer Worlds is the non-fantasy, single player, action RPG Outer Wilds is the one you are thinking of. I can’t really put that to a genre, other than Outer Wilds is just art.

phanto, do games w Found this while going through old stuff. I'm terrible at chess, but I would play expecting to lose just to watch the animations.

The rook taking pieces was my favorite thing! We had it for the Amiga.
