Control panel review - 4 player with spinner
Zebidee:
You know, there are enough good games out there already to keep me happy until I'm an old man (ie, next month )
Diablo is one of those networked games I'd love to play when I get more time.
Looks like 'l have to look at PS Torment as well! I didn't understand before how closely it was related to BG.
After I've finished building my new house I look forward to having more time for the pleasures in life, including games and maybe even enough time for a occasional D&D session (or perhaps I am fantasising again).
LOTR rocks for ever, it is the biggest influence ever on D&D & RPGs, and Peter Jackson is a demi-god for finally doing the film and getting it 98% right. :notworthy:
vidmouse:
Make sure you include space for a D&D gameroom in your house, and then you will have to have an "excuse" to use it ;)
I really think you will like PS Torment.. it supposedly has an even better story than
BG1 -- I think it came out in '99, somewhere between BG1 and BG2 but other
than sharing the engine it's not related... ie not Forgotten Realms material.
I think Planescape was a similar worldset on paper as well...
While I agree that LOTR rocks, I'm always on the lookout for more
non-traditional fantasy fare...
Anyone remember Krull? (the movie not just the game)
Loved it when it came out but looking at it now it's dated.
Still a decent watch if a bit hokey.
Another topic...
Used MAME audio samples and artwork for the first time today, just
experimenting and playing around. Oh my goodness, what a difference..!
I actually remember playing Space Invaders in the arcades and now
that I see the artwork, remember the planet background and so on.
Can't wait to load it into my cab...
Zebidee:
I am a lucky man.
My new house will have plenty of room for D&D sessions
Even more importantly, my wife supports my arcade hobby. And allows me the room for it. She also knows that while my hobby keeps me busy, I won't have time for anything .... errrr ..... else. :P
She can see that it makes me happy, and also that I can perhaps make a few $$ because I just sold my Galaxy Cab (sale #2). Now I feel happy but also sad because I've invested a lotta love in that thing. But then, a good craftsperson does ......
vidmouse:
Congrats on selling your cab! I can commiserate the good/bad feeling
but look at it this way, now you have an opportunity to build yet
another, better cab :)
Found some more PC-that-might-look-good-as-an-arcade games
to try:
Tomb Raider II
Metal Gear Solid
Virtual On Cyber Troopers
Guilty Gear X
Star Wars Battle for Naboo
Star Wars Starfighter (really, what's the difference between these two games??)
Found some of these at a used bookstore this weekend, and some over at
Home of the Underdogs... really a nice arcade download section there...
