It's a cool game.  I picked it and No Regret up on a sale I believe on GoG a while back.  I'll take DRM free over tied to Origin anyday and they're only like $6 each even without the sale.

 

The developer is now working on Star Citizen if anyone is interested:

you can't magically make an old 2d sprite game hi rez.

 

 

Lies. Someone told me that with a $150 HDMI cable and a special gaming prayer I can make every game run at 4K res on my PS1. You obviously don't understand the programming world. Also, your rich uncle died in Nigeria and left you $100,000,000. Contact me for details on how to pay my small commission fee of $50,000 to claim your inheritance.

Theme Hospital is now free.

 

They are blowing me away with these freebies . . . . . . . . .

The Sims 4 was added to Game Time (and Battlefield 4 returns to Game Time).

 

Apparently, for all the moanage and groanage about Crysis 3, it's not underperforming enough to land there.

Theme Hospital is worth more than any of those modern games.

i loved the game when it first came out.

 

 

but trying it again now, i cannot get past the old graphics and interface.   it is just not fun.

my gaming tastes changed though,   and i have not played SIM or strategy for over 10 years now, so that could be the reason

 

 

but yeah, depending on the game, graphics can be important or not. 

 

i just played grim fandango remastered, and except for main characters, and music, the backgrounds did not change, and still look amazing.  the only think that i really cared was controls, since that was the biggest change!

i am a sucker for adventure games.

Not quite free but you can get Syndicate Wars on GoG.com for under $6. You can get both together for under $10. I picked them both up from there somewhere along the way.

 

but, it's not free. I like things for free :D

 

free just has a lovley ring to it :rofl:

I like free things too! :D

That's why I didn't mention Syndicate earlier because by all means get it for FREE from Origin.  However you expressed interest in Syndicate Wars which Origin isn't currently offering for free (and we don't know they will ever do so) so I just thought I'd let you know it was available for cheap from GoG in case you weren't aware.  Sure cheap isn't as good as free but cheap NOW is better than MAYBE getting it free at some point in the future IMHO.  If you're not interested though that's fine too. :)

this is all true, how ever I already have syndicate and syndicate wars for my amiga, which is still alive and kicking :D :D.

 

getting it sometime down the line for free is just a bonus :)

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.

      The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
