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 :)

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      We do it all the time on our IT Service desk mailbox to add a reference, in the subject line, once it's been logged and then it's filed into the appropriate sub-folder. Other companies probably do the same thing.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
