What else? Turning 33 in 10 days and not taking it well at all. It feels like I was 25 yesterday, or at least last week. I feel robbed of the years.

I'm 27 and I'm wondering "wtf happened since I was 16 enjoying life without too much worries besides homework obligations and cs 1.6 / bf nights".

W T F IS going on? My "career" starts when I'm around 30, when I have my PhD. The f**k.

Aw man, there's so many games I NEED to have remade properly. For example, the entire Bullfrog catalog!

Prettiest Apple OS EVER:

These Mac OS images looked gorgeous black-and-white on printed paper in manuals.

Nostalgia = actually getting a printed manual in the box with the software.

Before they moved to providing an electronic copy on the enclosed CD.

Before they moved to just providing a link to download it.

And cover disks.

Remember cover disks?

Before the internet it was a great way of getting software, usually shareware.

After the internet you usually found out what was on the cover disk, then went online to download a newer version anyway

Quake was such an amazing game! Practically Lovecraft in a video game, I always regretted that Id didn't keep using the Lovecraft theme for further games. And of course, that kickass soundtrack by Trent Reznor - I hadn't been affected by a game soundtrack as much as that before, I think.

I was fifteen at the time so that memory is a little fuzzy. I did some searching and Qoole seemed like the closest match to what I used. I used QME for modeling, and ms paint for skin editing. The model viewer of Quark looks really familiar.

Just reviving this to show what I found at the recycling centre last week ^^ .

Notice how it still used the old spelling of Nukum!

Holy smokes, along with the old Apogee logo and everything :eek:

Yeah, I played some DN1 again just now, I couldn't resist :D .

I loaded the first Commander Keen game into DOSBox right after I saw that picture haha. I don't know which game is harder, DN1 is pretty intense. Funny how Apogee used the same DN1 graphic effects and audio samples for Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure. I guess that game was Apogee's PG version or something

Keen 1 was pretty doable, 2 was quite hard, 3 was ridiculous xD . DN1 was somewhat challenging but not too hard if you took it easy, I think. DN2 was much harder as I recall, especially beyond episode 1/2.

Some old games that stand out in my memory as being particularly hard are Rockford (never got beyond level 2 in episode 1, and never completed ANY levels in any of the other episodes iirc), Gauntlet (they spawned so fast, I couldn't keep up!), Star Goose (all I remember is the rocket launchers got me EVERY TIME), International Ninja Rabbits (which was just ridiculous), Pyro 2 (always blew myself up), Paratrooper (it was so hard to get that bomb angle just right!), Skyroads (past the fist half or so of the levels it got really bat**** insane), and Arkanoid (the original - I never could get more than a few levels in).

I miss waking up in the morning and seeing iLLucionist's posts all over "spy." It's been over a week since he's posted at all.

I guess I should check those games out (aside from the original Arkanoid).

Oh my god so many good ones. Total nostalgia trip for me there.

Nostalgia to me was back when I was living at my parents house, not working and not studying, I just sat at home with my buddy, carefree, and played videogames all day long.
We've both got baes and jobs now so there is no more of that.
Also video games don't hold the same appeal as they once did, I guess I'm just getting older.
I'd much rather mess around with Linux and build server/keyboards these days. The worst thing is I still purchase games, library is almost at 250 on steam.

Ah NWN - the hours I've poured into that.

NWN2 never really grabbed me.

I tried a couple of others, including Torchlight, but they didn't feel enough like NWN and I never got in to them.

Now I want to play NWN again ... if only I had the time ...

Spent so much time on this game - I had a pretty huge medieval phase.

These were mine:

Neopets

The original Sims (not to be confused with a picture of TP4's bedroom)

The cheap man's Mario Kart: Diddy Kong Racing

Theme Park

And Theme Hospital

Oh man, Theme Hospital! That game was so good, I played that for many hours

. It was also the first time I used my alias - Chyros - which was the name I gave my hospitals at first!
