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 :)

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
