I found it in my box of old computer shit

2019-11-29 01:00:10 UTC  

I have the Jazz Jackrabbit CD still

2019-11-29 01:00:55 UTC  

Found WCII, as well, but just a jewel case

I've still got Warcraft 2 and Quake 2

2019-11-29 01:09:20 UTC  

We had a copy of Fallout 1 but it didnt work and I think we got rid of it, which is a shame because I think I could have fixed it now

2019-11-29 01:10:50 UTC  

I don't mind paying more if they actually do something

2019-11-29 01:10:58 UTC  

but even some of these asset upgrades are a complete joke

2019-11-29 01:11:08 UTC  

Look worse than the originals

2019-11-29 01:11:23 UTC  

Yeah, often they dont bother to match it to the overall aesthetic

2019-11-29 01:11:30 UTC  

I like what GoG is doing, but for someone like me. I already bought all these games, most of the people who worked on them are long gone.

2019-11-29 01:11:36 UTC  

Do they donate to dosbox?

2019-11-29 01:11:37 UTC  

Or you get gameplay additions that dont fit. Fucking Beamdog

2019-11-29 01:11:39 UTC  

have anyone work on code?

2019-11-29 01:11:45 UTC  

Everything I've seen is just ini files

2019-11-29 01:11:49 UTC  

not like it's anything special

2019-11-29 01:12:14 UTC  

Beamdog does the old Black Isle/Bioware Enhanced Edition versions

2019-11-29 01:13:42 UTC  

So the BG2 version with the Orc Blackguard and the party-able vampire and shit <:blondeDisgust:622971427410149386>

2019-11-29 01:14:06 UTC  

I heard the NWN "enhanced" was just complete garbage too

2019-11-29 01:14:41 UTC  

HMM WHAT'S THIS

2019-11-29 01:21:12 UTC  

Oh yeah that game looks neat
And tbh I didnt like the old NWN much either, though the editor was pretty great

2019-11-29 01:31:39 UTC  

I haven't actually heard anything about the Beamdog BG2 'remaster,' but I kinda stopped paying attention to Beamdog after I realized that BG Tutu was still the best way to play the first game.

2019-11-29 01:33:56 UTC  

They just contract a bunch of artists and make new assets cause it's cheaper than improving anything. So what's the point.

2019-11-29 01:34:13 UTC  

It's hard for me to see anything from most of these remasters as anything but a cash grab

2019-11-29 01:34:48 UTC  

Artists are a lot cheaper than programmers, especially if the quality of some of these remasters is anything to go by...they're not getting the best artists either.

2019-11-29 01:35:35 UTC  

@wolfman1911 I don't think you can even buy the originals anymore

2019-11-29 01:36:36 UTC  

Last I heard GOG includes the originals if you buy the remake, but if you don't want to give money to a bunch of hacks, yeah you can't buy them anymore.

2019-11-29 01:37:21 UTC  

I like gog, and I hate them at the same time.

2019-11-29 01:37:57 UTC  

Their recent Cucking to the CoC propaganda and the SJWishness they're letting int cyberpunk just makes it worse

2019-11-29 01:40:27 UTC  

And I'm not sure the legality of what I've heard they do now, which is roll a new binary from dosbox with their own secret sauce added in for cloud saves.

2019-11-29 01:40:51 UTC  

AFAIK they're distributing the binaries but haven't pushed their changes upstream to the project.

2019-11-29 02:05:20 UTC  

I already owned the originals on GoG and will probably scope out a boxed copy sometime

2019-11-29 02:05:29 UTC  

I used to have SoA complete boxed

2019-11-29 03:55:39 UTC  

oh shit, speak of the devil

2019-11-29 03:56:21 UTC  

my ion fury usb has Alien Carnage, Arctic Adventure, Bio Menace, Major Stryker, Monuments of Mars, Pharaoh's Tomb and Stargunner

2019-11-29 03:57:14 UTC  

I loved Alien CArnage

2019-11-29 03:57:53 UTC  

Flying around with jet packs and shiiiiit

2019-11-29 03:58:27 UTC  

I was playing Prince of Persia on myabandonware.com, couldn't remember how to clear the first level

2019-11-29 03:58:37 UTC
