FlyingSquid, 7 miesięcy temu do games w Quest 1 becomes near-E-waste Apr 30

My daughter does too. She stopped touching it about two years minus one day after we got it for her for Christmas. And she really wanted it for Christmas too.

Stupid kids.

It’s not even a beta tester thing. They just bought it from Oculus, made a few minor changes (most notably requiring you to have a Facebook account to use it) and that was it. This is a “force consumers to upgrade” thing. And it should be illegal.

Not trying to negate what you said, but I honestly don’t remember people saying that. I remember people complaining about Oculus being bought.

Why should they be able to do this?

Because we own nothing now.

God I hope so. This is ludicrous. People are still developing NES games ffs! A friend of mine did.

If you’re one of the most charismatic men in the world, what you actually believe is much less important to people.

Wait, so they just licensed Will Smith’s likeness?

They couldn’t have just done a character that looks sort of like Will Smith?

FlyingSquid, 8 miesięcy temu do games w EA just added classics like Dungeon Keeper, SimCity 3000, and Populous on Steam

There’s a reason why Nintendo keeps suing companies making emulators out of existence.

Sure, but the abandonware version should still be archived and playable and the goal here is to make that impossible.

It sort of seems like another shot across the bow at abandonware archiving.

I just picked a title at random- archive.org/…/DungeonKeeperGoldEditionUSAEnFrEsNl…

As long as companies think they can keep making money from old games, they will keep trying.

FlyingSquid, 8 miesięcy temu do games w Bank of Pinball - Pinball arcade in Terre Haute, IN with over 50 tables

Very cool! I’m looking at the pictures now. It reminds me of part of the City Museum in St. Louis.

I’m sorry I didn’t see it when I visited SF some years ago.

That’s awesome! I’d love to go to a store like that!

I thought the Doctor Who game was a little disappointing overall, but as a Doctor Who fan, it was still fun to play.

Leather Goddesses of Phobos came with a scratch-n-sniff card. If I recall correctly, you can’t win the game without it.

If anyone is old enough to remember Infocom games, they came with “feelies,” just random fun stuff related to the game they decided to include. It occasionally was needed to solve a game puzzle, but usually not.

I can still smell that box. They had a certain smell back then.
