Well, folks - we speak here about different things: OSes, apps, books, jokes and even politics.
Now I would start a talk about digital (PC and other platforms) games.
Why? Maybe cause even my nickname is heredity of playing network deatmatch in Quake I and II? (There were some moded skins and I've selected Robocop one - the next step was to select this nickname. Could I make another choice, really?
)
So, folks:
are you playing something in this virtual world? What are you prefs here?
About me: like real K-Meleonaire, I'm a sort of oldtimer. I love great oldschool software (like our browser) and same type of games.
Moreover: while life-run luckily cannot make old games as useless or unusable as most old apps, my favourite games through years remain the same:
- Accolade F1 (from 1990)
- King's Bounty
- Wolf3D
- Doom (I, II and other additions on the same first engine)
- X-COM (UFO & TFTD)
- Transport Tycoon (TTD)
Well, there were number of other games played with great fun - for me mostly FP shooters (command and tactical preferred) and non-realtime strategies (turn-based like UFO or hybrid like TTD). Counter Strike, DukeNukem, Return to Castle Wolf., Venom. Codename: Outbreak, Call of Duty, Simutrans and so on - but the greatest hits are recalled in first list ;-)
Great news: years usually give old games second or even third life! ZDoom or GL-Doom, OpenTTD - they allow us to replay our best experience from past decades! And even without that numerous setup troubles we were digging through 20 years ago!
But last week I decide to replay the best tactical (IMHO) in the world - X-COM:UFO defense.
And I found that last years were devoted to development of modern remake -
OpenXCom (OXC). It fixes
the horde of well-known famous bugs of original UFO and is easy in setup, cross-platform and moddable.
And I found a number of old UFO-fans, who also come back to the roots and start to replay this 'superclasico' over and over - with different settings and mods, making this Great Game almost eternal.
So did I - falling in this abyss, named X-COM (or UFO)...
And what is your diagnosis?
