Rainbow Arts (Turrican on Amiga), Maxis (SimCity) and Digital Illusions (because of their pinball games)

All of them gone except Digital Illusions which became DICE.

gnzl, rok temu

I was going to say Digital Illusions but for Motorhead, the racing game. The OST for that game has been in my music rotation for decades and it’s still in my top 3 of all time.

A fellow old person! I’ll add Ocean Software and US Gold from the Commodore era.

One of the best fighting games

One Must Fall 2097

A little bit of nostalgia always helps too

d3Xt3r, rok temu

Woah, wasn’t expecting to see this answer here! OMF is my favorite one hands down.

A close second would be the music for Jazz Jackrabbit.

Phelpssan, rok temu

That one was so good.

Haven’t played this game in decades but instantly started hearing the song in my head when I saw your post.

PeterPoopshit, rok temu (edited rok temu) do games w 'Great' games I didn't play this year due to requirements

Modern system requirements are such a scam. Like come the fuck on. 2005 graphics were good enough. Textures. Meshes. Uv mapping. Directional lighting. Do they really have to make it so hard?

Please stop fucking making everything need a fucking supercomputer. Oh boy I can’t wait for the next time developers decide my shit is last gen so I have to replace my perfectly good gpu just for the new one to melt my cables and overheat itself to death 4 years later.

Aren’t we supposed to be fighting climate change or something? Make games work on way less computing power. For. Fuck. Sake.

WildTangent and FATE specifically lol i never got past like level ten

Telorand, rok temu

Oh, WildTangent! I’ve only played Plants vs. Zombies from them.

TonyHawksPoTater, rok temu

Small misconception, PvZ was created by PopCap. WildTangent was just a service on which to play games. I remember so fondly using my limited free tokens to play Polar Bowling; it really was just the best.

TonyHawksPoTater, rok temu

Don't know if you're aware, but FATE is available on Steam. Relive those memories, boss.

Ori and the Blind Forest has a great track throughout, but the menu is definitely a highlight.

Lucas Arts

Telorand, rok temu

Are they still around? /j

Yep, some classic point and click games, like Full Throttle. It’s from games like that that I learned Mark Hamill is an amazing voice actor.

Not from my childhood, but I’ve certainly played a lot of their games!

Frontier for Elite
Psygnosis for Lemmings and a bunch of other fun games on the Amiga.

Telorand, rok temu

Elite was a game changer for a lot of people. Lemmings was super fun, as well!

DmMacniel, rok temu

Fun fact: Rockstar (back then DMA) developed Lemmings.

The 3 Bs, baby. Blizzard, Bioware, and Bethesda.

Blizzards dead to me, Bioware fell off after dragon age 1, and Bethesda refuses to take its limiters off anymore (no drugs)

Telorand, rok temu

I’m enjoying heavily-modded DA:I, but I do feel like DA1 had some better writing and direction.

HipsterTenZero, rok temu

The only thing I can remember from inquisition is trudging through some high level desert looking for high level rocks (which very blatantly cut their drop rate from earlier zones) so that I could make an armor and weapon that still sucked and looked like pajamas.

also that the party loves to litter

Dalek_Thal, rok temu

Any recommendations for mods? I’m putting together a new build for it ahead of my semi-annual replay of the trilogy

Telorand, rok temu

Yeah, definitely!

I’ll skip the skins, because I assume you’ll want to pick your own that fit your tastes, but you can find all of these at NexusMods. Some of my favorites are:

• Speed Launch
• 60 fps in cutscenes
• No fall damage
• Infinite Respec Amulet
• Party At The Winter Palace
• Shorter War Table Missions (75%)
• Party Banter Time (5-10min)
• All Bard songs for CC Music
• Stay still in CC - Natural Edition
• Face Ash Begone
• Bugs Be Gone
• Skills Enhanced by NinjaReborn
• Inventory Capacity

You’ll also need Frosty Mod Manager to set all those up (they seem to work for me in the order I listed) and Frosty Fix.

• Set up the mods and load order in FrostyMM, and close.
• Launch Frosty Fix.
• Choose the profile/pack you want.
• Mash go.
• FrostyMM should open back up.
• Open the pack you created.
• The game should launch automatically with the mods correctly enabled.

All these mods feel “vanilla-ish” and shouldn’t spoil the original experience to any significant degree.
