  1. Pet emulation does not work in the latest Vice for some reason

     

     

  2. For the love of **** somebody tell the people in charge of Applewin to FIX THE CONTROLS! Can't play any game that isn't a text adventure.

     

    Worm of bemer? No luck

    Lode runner? No luck

    Wolfenstein? NO LUCK!

    It's bad enough that they added the ability without the instructions to do so. I'm not a linux nut nor IT, I'm a gamer.

      pretty much. Can't use cursor keys, num pad or even the keys in the instructions. I have zero clue on what to do and the help file doesn't actually help in this regard.

  3. When spiders were put on the earth, spare parts were used to make the Daddy Long Leg, A pitiful excuse for a spider. 

     

    Dies constantly due to Raid

    Smashed, smushed, stomped on, eaten by cats, eaten by dogs, swept up via vacuums etc. The average lifespan of these poor bastards is .25 seconds upon being spotted

      Ants are really stupid. They invade parts of your house that have absolutely no food whatsoever, like your bathroom. So you have to keep spraying Raid for them to get the message that they're not welcome there. Insects serve no purpose whatsoever. I want them all to go away forever.

  4. Dear sir or madam who made Lorkeep station for nazi zombies: YOUR MAP SUCKS! it's buggy as ****!

  5. I've pretty much stopped playing modern consoles. Every new release requires more and more space on my Hard drive. This leads to disinterest, which leads to me gaming on my PC. The only thing tethering me to my xbox is Halo. Even that may not be enough anymore.

     

    I'm going back to the Ps2 and OG Xbox for the time being. At least I can actually play the game instead of watching the install screen.

    I'll take long loading times over long install times anyday

      OK cool.

      You're like the 100th person this week to feel this way.

      Carry on.

  6. The Howling (1981) has no sequels! Only the original version and the remake count. 5 gets a pass...barely

  7. Everything is working fine. you killed the big bad, got the girl and the treasure. Then you find out:

    A: She identifies as a lesbian or hates men

    B: The Villains family wants you dead and have hired mercenaries

    and lastly: The IRS are coming for their prize with a fleet of ships. Your dinky little mansion is right in the path of the first salvo.

     

    Also that dragon you killed was keeping a bigger threat out of the picture: oops ?

     

     

  8. Nearly destroyed the saints in Madden 19. Lost by 1 point because the AI pulled a miracle rally. final score 16-17

    Annihilated the falcons as the 49ers.

    Apparently I need gold to access franchise mode?

    EA, you made me sign a shady ass TOS, at least let me use franchise mode.
    also, it needs to check your hard drive, THEN load the game, THEN you have to sit through yet another mini commercial. Ugh! give me NBA street Vol 2 please

      But did you watch the Raiders game (Vs. the Chargers) the other day?    Best game I've seen in 2 decades!!!

      I mostly favor passing plays vs straight rushes. Unless i'm 50 yards in, i'll usually run Strong, I form or dime. Favored plays offense: Hail mary, curls, Strong Toss

      Defense: Blitz, Man coverage, 3 Man deep

      otherwise I just play whatever

      One thing that I miss about old computers of the '80s. Speaking of C, it's great for 680x0, x86, Power PC, RISC, and ARM. Not so much for 65xx, 6800, 6809, and Z80.

  10. The C64 or a Zx Spectrum +2?

     

    help me decide.

    1. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      I would suggest the C64, but the ZX would be a better purchase.

  11. I'm considering making a horror based text adventure of Alice in wonderland, akin to Pan's Labyrinth.

     

    Want to target the Atari 800 but have no idea how to save in altirra.

     

    I also want to avoid any overuse of the input command. Would love a way to make a parser

  12. Rewatched spider man far from home. Is it so difficult to write characters that are fleshed out, well written and mean something. I really don't want to draw parallels to the Sam Raimi trilogy but, compare Spider man 1 to Far from Home. Years older but better written and acted. 

     

    I think the quality of marvel movies has degraded over the years. Flashy special effects to cover for poor acting and minimal character development.

     

    FFS Marvel, get your asses in gear!

    1. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      I lost interest in Marvel Movies after the first Iron Man, and the last one I have seen was Avengers: Age of Ultron. I can also empathize that writing for character is tough, as is writing good comedy.

      My favorite games on the collection were river raid and pitfall. Who contributed the homebrews though?

      one of the gamefly reviews is freaking laughable:

       
      4 / 10
       
       

      A thorough collection of games better forgotten.

      Retro game collections achieve one of two goals: they either take you back and remind you of the quality of classic games when they didn't need photo-realistic graphics, complicated plots, cut-scenes and 110 hours of gameplay  or they remind you that the past is better left in the closet. This is firmly the latter. Back in the day, it was easy to get away with such simplistic, repetitive gameplay, because that was just the limitation. But going back to the Atari 2600 era now  it's just not pleasant. The Activision games can be amusing, for a minute or two  but once the novelty wears off, you're left with shooting the same two aliens, or running to the right, or shooting the same two planes, or whatever, over and over and over again. Having an 80's soundtrack or playing the games on a rotating cube doesn't change things. It's just a lipstick on a pig. Bottom line: don't waste your time.

      Oh, no, not legitimizing what they are saying, but I totally understand the ignorance(that's not quite meant as backhanded as it sounds...).

      I first got the PS1 Activision Classic games when it was new, 20+ years ago-I kinda just kept up with what was current then, casually, mostly RPG's, grew up with games, had Atari around but was a tad to young to be any good at it.

      Seemed like a good deal, all those games, for 20$, lol, yaya!

      Well, I got it home, and it sucked, bad.

      Not for the reasons I say now, I wasn't good enough then to discern, but I honestly remember thinking, "Sad this is dead, because no one is ever gonna want to play this old assed shit ever again".

      So, flash forward 20+ years, I'm into the retro more than anything, and digging back even farther than what I grew up with, have learned about the Atari(2600), gotten good at it, appreciate "what it is".

      But it's kinda like, unless you know, you totally don't know, and TBH I really don't hate that idea.

      I swear-I really am, I guess, a top 2600 player, always did well in the HSC's here, many W/R's/Maxes elsewhere, but I totally remember thinking the bits and blobs, and same thing over and over was never gonna cut it, after games evolved, but I was definitely wrong.

      My Activision shelf isn't the best in the World, but it's pretty damned good, I LOVE the company(the original one, 2600), but I totally remember thinking it was shit at one point, haha, it just depends on your perspective.

  21. Reading a story is easy, writing one is not. People think writers have it easy. Trust me, I would rather be a game developer then stare at white all day.

      I feel for you, I've done my share of it for audio rants and an unfinished movie script.

      I'll go one step farther, on a similar sentiment-songwriting.

      Same thing there, except most anyone who's ever picked up a guitar thinks they have written a great song when in fact, they haven't.

      :)

      Being able to play well most certainly does NOT guarantee an ability to write songs, that's where I fit in, I can play almost anything, but am humbled by great songwriters, makes me pretty jealous.

      I think writing, period, is not a learned skill, you are either born able, or you aren't.

  22. I don't have Po's patience. I would've straight up stuck a dagger in Shen and shot Tai lung to death with a minigun.

     

    Shen would be lunch and Tai Lung would be dinner

  23. Need help. Should i buy Metro 2033 trilogy or Rage?

    "they aren't attacking?"
