Yay, bought DK. Even though I have it on CD. But I am too lazy to touch the CD.

I love the idea of DK and UU, but suspect I won't be able to get into them - with graphics this aged, some types work fine for me, some types don't. I remember trying DK and not being able to tell what was going on, it just felt like random blurred pixels bumping into each other in the dark, and I'll probably feel the same with UU's combat.

There's a key you have to press to make the graphics in DK go from this low rez, pixel city crud to something better, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is. I had the same issue even back when it was released. It still looks fine on my 23" monitor today. imo. Altho I always played zoomed out all the way, never all in close, and if you were using DosBox or something, I can't speak to how it works using that.

 

You can download DK FX mod, which gives support for widescreen resolutions.

Also I love, love, love Dungeon Keeper. It's a shame though that Deeper Dungeons expansion pack isn't included in the gog's release.

Press Alt-R.

****, just saw this thread title again and freaked out. Then realised the thread is very old. Phew.

Just a heads up, GOG is having their overly long summer sale and today Ground Control(and it's impossible to find expansion) are 60% off. I don't know how many of you have already played it, but I really like its focus on small heavily customizable squads and tactical real-time gameplay.

 

And yes, I do realize that this sounded like a marketing blurb from the back of the box.

You shill.

Takes one to know one...

Didn't they release Ground Control for free at some point? No idea is the expansion free too.

 

Though, I would still buy the GOG package even if it is freeware if I would be interested in it.

I think the main game was, but not the juicy expansion that adds a new faction and campaign.

 

In related news, I missed the Septerra Core sale, that was always a fun game.

Takes one to know one...

 

Yeah well. Your mother!

 

I'll have to try GC though, yet another game I never got around to playing due to being broke at the time.

I guess it's time to exercise my superior thread necromancy once more and rise the "awesome games that no one has ever heard of" thread once more from it's cold grave.

They need to add the GB, Ultimas, Wizardries, and Bard's Tale series.

They need to add xcom and system shock.

anybody else notice a problem with the thread title, particularly in light o' the fact that the genesis post is from 2010?

 

HA! Good Fun!

It was seriously tempting changing the sub-title into 'Never gonna give you up'

 

Not into the RTS games, but there are still two handfuls of titles on my wishlist there. Some of the extras are nice, like wallpapers, soundtracks etc.

They need to add the GB

 

They SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Need to add that whole series. They would make so much money off me alone.

 

But I don't think Ubisoft gives a flying fajita about SSI's old titles. Or there is some weird licensing hold-up with the old D&D licence.

None of the summer sales have interested me in the slightest, even though I'm ready and waiting with my money. Bah.

Apache v Havoc today, not sure if any of you lot were into military sim games, but this one was pretty cool to play. Kinda sad how they don't make as many sims as they used to.

You can get Xcom off steam, so it's likely legality that's stopping that.

And the Steam version is technically DRM-free to boot!

The Longest Journey didn't interest you? Only because you already own it, right?

There was also Septerra Core, the exceedingly rare western JRPG...

Also, Sanitarium.

Well, its also like alot of point and click adventure games.

Actually I'm kidding :D. Iz awesome really.

You can get it anywhere that isn't GOG, which is why GOG not having it is pretty stupid.

 

And for System Shock there's System Shock Portable.
