Well, so much for Yuzu. Wonder how long Ryujinx will last?



Legend Entertainment produced some great adventure games throughout the '90s. The wiki article has a list of them, and several are available from GOG.


The Titan Quest sequel is being done by a completely different team, no guarantee it captures the same magic as the original.



I had some fun with this game but ran into a late-game softlock which prevented me from finishing it.



Yup. As I recall it was kind of a school-wide effort, with kids relaying solutions of various puzzles to each other until we had enough to complete the game. I do recall working out the Babelfish puzzle on my own, though I also neglected to feed the dog at the beginning of the game soft-locking myself on at least one playthrough.


I bought several Infocom games in their day, I think HHGTTG was the only one I ever finished.




I don’t trust Ubisoft to have the degree of opsec necessary to prevent something like this. Hell, I don’t trust Ubisoft to have the degree of opsec necessary to notice it happened ex post facto.


Open/closed source has nothing to do with it. If this project is using Nintendo IP without permission (and I see no evidence this is a licensed product) Nintendo will definitely go after them.


I saw a video on this earlier. Surprised Nintendo hasn’t shut it down yet.



The game is completely made with bought assets.





If you click on an inventory slot on your character sheet it will pop up a window with all available items anywhere in your inventory that can be equipped there.


I just wish the fancy feedback stuff worked wirelessly. Wired controllers are so 2000s.


What exactly do they mean by “flagship”? The Escapist had Zero Punctuation and… that’s about it. Aside from some Yahtzee Croshaw podcasts, I can’t think of anything else worth watching on there.

There are several games in that series, most if not all of which are on GOG for cheap. I recommend Caesar III (don’t bother with IV), Zeus, Pharoah and Cleopatra. They all follow the same basic formula and are a lot of fun.



If I recall correctly they were offering refunds for a time on Steam, regardless of date purchased/hours played when the buyout was first announced. I’m not sure if it’s still available, but couldn’t hurt to ask.


No one’s saying he needed it. But knowing how corporations work it’s quite likely he got a nice payout.



They want people to buy the console release now, then buy it again when they announce the PC version in a year.



This kind of thing has been going on for at least 30 years. One of the earliest examples is Night Trap starring Dana Plato. You may not know who that is, but anyone who grew up watching Diff’rent Strokes certainly does. If you want a more mainstream example, look at Ripper from 1996 which features Christopher Walken, Paul Giamatti, Karen Allen, Burgess Meredith, David Patrick Kelly, Ossie Davis, and John Rhys-Davies.




I got bit by this one. Went over to a friend’s house to spend the day playing HHGTTG. Several hours later we discovered we couldn’t win the game because I had neglected to feed the dog 15 minutes in while he was up getting a drink or something.





You can get the 1997 Blade Runner game from GOG.com which has been updated for modern OSes. It looks like there was also a remaster done a year or so ago, but based on the user rating you’re probably better off with the non-remaster.
