FlyingSquid, 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.

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.

Hahahaha! I hadn’t seen it before! And people are expected to (and some do) spend money on that?

This sort of thing is exactly why I mostly just play retro games.

Yep! Me too! Grendel and his mother were both so cool.

This is even earlier, the 80s, but I remember getting a not especially good game called The Halley Project for my Apple II, but I would load the game over and over again because the intro had a song with real vocals and guitar, something basically unheard of on an Apple II, or virtually any other computer at the time.

So I loaded it. Over and over.

And this is no different.

I remember when the movie Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was being claimed by people as an animated movie that was so photorealistic, you wouldn’t even be able to tell you were looking at animated characters.

FlyingSquid, do gaming w How can it be so bad?
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I decided about 10 years ago that I just can’t afford to keep updating my computer every couple of years just so I can play new titles. So now I just play old titles. And if you play old enough titles, you don’t even have to go to a torrent site. You can go directly to the Internet Archive.

I keep rediscovering games I loved when I was younger. I’ve been playing Skyroads lately. I still love the music. You know how long it takes to load Skyroads on a computer from 2015? I have no idea either because it loads faster than I can measure time.

This has been your lecture from a crotchety old man.

Haha. I gave up on the first Sims because no one was putting up expansion packs to pirate and I sure as fuck wasn’t going to pay for them, so I got bored and quit and never came back to that game series.
