Where you own nothing as well. People have become comfortable with that thought since Steam launched, today they love it.

Ubisoft just said it out loud. Fuck them all!

Nobody seems to have watched it, but “Counterpart”. It’s a mind fuck Science Fiction show. Only 20 episodes, so manageable.

It was cancelled, but the writers knew beforehand and wrote an absolute perfect conclusion for the last episodes.

Also it’s best to go in blind. There are events predicted in the show that later happened for real (I don’t want to spoil it), and it’s fun to think “oh that is how and why it happened”!

Also J.K. Simmons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterpart_(TV_series)

I can’t recommend this show enough.

I remember Cyberpunk 2077 sucking me into its world, I sometimes walked slowly through the streets taking in sights and sounds.

I had that all the time as a kid, Monkey Island, Betrayal at Krondor, you name it. For children, like you said, everything is new and a fantastic experience, give it enough years and it becomes not stale, but normal.

Now, many years later it has become rare. But when it happens it’s awesome again.

That’s also my reason for not being excited over GTA 6. It will never live up to feeling of 3, Vice City or San Andreas, even 4. Those times are over for me. 5 was fun, but nothing special anymore.

“Support for all games cannot last forever.”

Again and again and again… Sigh… Sadly I’m sure many of the comission will just believe that shit…

But then again, the big companies are obviously scared, that’s a good sign at least.

I remember once I used every tile there was to completely plaster every space on the map, aaaaand… the game crashed when I wanted to play it. That was too much for my good old 386 to handle.

But making maps was a blast!

Have fun! I sure did back then, and when I replayed the remaster.

One tip: Somewhere in the sewers (I don’t remember which level) is a field where you encounter lots of enemies (20 or more?). They respawn when you change levels. I used that particular spot to farm, saves you at least some time! And don’t forget the fire horn, it’s extremely powerful and can be bought usually at Garth’s!

Good memories! Thank your for this post! It put a smile on my face!

I played it on the Amstrad CPC, from cassette/tape. Saving/loading from tape took ages, so did the loading for dungeons. I have no idea how I managed to beat this game.

Do yourself a favour. Get the remastered version from gog. It’s the same game, with auto mapping and the ability to save and load whenever you want.

Or… draw maps and go to the adventurer’s guild every few minutes to save your game. And then grind, grind, grind, and grind :) Don’t bother reviving party members in the beginning, it’s too expensive!

My first game I played with the Diamond Monster 3D (Voodoo 1 4 MB) was Tomb Raider 1. I could not believe what was happening. It looked soooo much better, and the frame rates were so fucking high! That really was voodoo magic. I can’t remember something other that magical in all my gaming history.
