If Brian Eno can openly rally against Microsoft like this, it's not asking much to simply not buy & promote Microsoft stuff. There's a billion games out there, the new Doom is mid, the original Oblivion is far more charming and Game Pass doesn't even have Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon. Fuck them.

Plenty of us older folks played this one 😉 I remember the C64 tape version. If you died, you just pressed play on the tape deck and it let you carry on to the next level - that counts as a completion, right?

I've started taking my first steps down the off-ramp, even though my daily driver made the Windows 11 cut. If you have any old hardware lying around, it might be worth giving it a new OS and a new life, and a chance for you to start taking steps down your own personal off-ramp.

So, when's the original Oblivion getting delisted?

Oh, wow, GOG is giving away Metro 2033: Redux. Not as good as the book, obviously, but still an impressively atmospheric game. Here's the link: www.gog.com/en/game/metr...

Will got it back then, the self-proclaimed "hard-core gamers" are actually just consumers - which is why so many seem to shout the loudest when things aren't exactly as they want them to be.

I spent some extra time making sure Ascent DX runs properly on the #SteamDeck. Time well spent, the game looks and sounds amazing on the screen! (The game is out for free on steam right now! s.team/a/3384890 )

Big shout to the high-res 'remaster' they bundled with its sequel, SkyNET. You could play it in 640x480 resolution!

Also free on Steam for those who prefer! : D (I had already on GOG but grabbed also on Steam because why not both?.gif) store.steampowered.com/app/302190/A...

America is perhaps guilty of having the 'World Series' view when it comes to gaming history, a history in which only American 'teams' compete.

Having just started playing F.E.A.R for the first time, I echo this comment. The AI is remarkable for it's time, and above that of many games since.

A world where games and media expire on corporate schedules, preservation is piracy and modification is theft, is a world that has already lost its culture. If history is disposable, then the memory itself becomes a privilege, not a right. #blog #gaming #mods

Probably my favourite Indy adventure, (yes, even more than the Fate of Atlantis), although this level was probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to beat. (And then I had to do it again to record this video)

Good to see Freelancer is so popular at the top of GOGs dreamlist. However, you don't need to wait. You can get it My Abandonware and is one of the easier games to get working on modern PCs - it installs and runs straight from the CD image. www.myabandonware.com/game/freelan...

I haven't posted this here yet, but I also made a repack of the game Mortyr, a forgotten Polish FPS from 1999. It's working on modern systems with widescreen patches and CD music included. I just uploaded it on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/Mort...

Pretty sure we dumped the family VIC-20 around then... For a C64, which stuck around until the early 90s...

I just uploaded 3.5 and 5.25 inch floppy disks of "The Colonel's Bequest" to The Internet Archive. Pristine disk images, RAW streams and beautiful 300dpi scans of all 14 disks. Have fun! archive.org/details/@dfxthomas #MSDOS #KryoFlux #RetroGaming #FloppyDisk

Still love this game. Push up the realism settings, allow no restarts, see how long I last.

Doom hit at exactly the right moment for me. Kids trading floppy disks with games your parents would be aghast at. The slim but ever present fear of a computer virus infecting your computer. Realizing that you could build upon the game to make your own thing. We had it good back then, right?
