There’s a blast from the past. But WineHQ was never a good or reliable database for this purpose, you were always better off just trying the software and moving to a native alternative if it didn’t work than lean on this for decent information.
One I’ve always had in the back of my head, because low barrier of entry, is painter.
House painting.
Hocus Pocus and Realms of Chaos I played a lot, they were good fun for a while.
I didn’t play Jazz Jackrabbit 2 until not long ago. I didn’t like it as much as I remember liking Jazz 1 way back.
I also played the hell out of Duke Nukum 1. I loved it. But I know it’s not great and there’s not much to it.
What about Ninja Rabbit? I barely remember it aside from crashing so much.
This will cost like $30 and you might not need to buy blades for years and years.
I finished both Ecco games the hard way, by calling the Sega hotline to get the solutions.
Great games, great music. I even still pull out Ecco Jr for my 4 year old daughter. So many memories of playing it with my cousins during Christmas holidays.
I don’t think these games need a remaster, but I still play the originals. I think the current crowd of young gamers probably struggle with it.
You can’t really generalise by country in this. Where I lived (NSW South coast) you didn’t even get the box. All the game cartridges were being the counter in a separate generic box with the name printed on it. The real boxes on the shelves were empty and you didn’t get to take them home.
Trine was okay. Trine 2 was better. I didn’t care for the other sequels at all.
Road to Perdition was fine. Not great in my opinion.
Everclear did kick ass. But they did well for themselves, and their fans still remember them.
Yes, it should have been in the collection instead of the snes remake.
It’s too late for you… But anyone else wanting to play it, just start with the pc engine version. It’s easy to find a CHD with the translation patch already applied. PC Engine will easily emulate on any device.
I only really collect the ones that look like they’ll burn, so I can’t really say.
I recently had a professional outplacement consultant tell me this, and a few weeks later a recruiter offered me a contract job, after months of nothing.
Fire starters. We collect them all from our property ahead of winter too help with starting the fire.
That’s the other issue. It’s impractical to always use Arch.
My main use case for pirated games is steam deck or a Bazzite based machine. Trying to get dwarfs on these systems is a pain I’m not willing to struggle through. Not when I can load up a fitgirl repack in a Bottle and have it installed 5 minutes later.
Even on my workstation, which is arch, I can get another repack going easily without needing to install dwarfs from the aur.
JC’s repacks might be good, but they’re a hassle that requires a new workflow to setup.
I’ve never had one single game working from JC.
On the other hand, almost any fitgirl or dodi release works just fine, or at least as well as I’d expect from the steam release.
The best for me is Flink, Blades of Vengeance, James Pond 3.
Yes. I lived out a life, got married and everything. When I did wake up I just started crying like everything I had ever known just disappeared.
Looked at this thread to see if anyone mentioned anything like that.
One of my favourite songs of all time.
The albums Supporting Caste and Failed States blew this one away, but the song itself is at least top 3 Propagandhi.
Local shows. I used to go to 3 or 4 a week.
I stopped doing that around 2017 because I was getting too tired. More like two or three a month.
None anymore though. I have kids now and I moved away, there’s no venues out here.
By “concerts” do you mean a big production in a stadium or theatre/hall with seating and tickets are $80/person, that kind of thing? I’ve never been to one.
The people in the fuckcars community probably. They talk like this all the time.
I’ll never understand this sentiment that we’re all supposed to move into the same neighbourhood that we work, or walk over 70km to get to our workplace?
When people think retro, it’s almost always 8/16/32 bit emulation. You could maths share the focus around by putting just as much focus in retro computer piracy.
Dos, win9x, Amiga, c64. Of course, you need contributors that can provide content to that effect.
I recently showed someone how to quickly get an older PC Lego racing game working on Linux. They tried and had trouble, I spent about 15 minutes from finding an iso to in-game and racing. So the content must be out there from someone?
I’m only working now because someone browsed my linked in and asked if I’m open to contract work.
