If you like those games you might also want to check out Satellite Reign.  It's a spiritual successor in development from many of the same developers as the Syndicate games.

 

I seen that on Steam, and have it on my follow list and wishlist. very hopeful that it's syndicate 2015.  but far to expencive for early access, like the look of that other one off world trader is it? they guy behind it use to work on civilization. but again

I'm with you on that.  I don't like playing pre-release versions of games (Alphas, Betas, or Steam Early Access).  I backed Satellite Reign on kickstarter but I have no intention of actually playing it on early access.  I've got enough games to hold me over until it's actually released (then I'll get the DRM-free GoG version)

so you won't be needing your steam key :shifty:

 

 

only kiddin I'll buy it on sale or when it's finished

Anyone know if it Is good? Never played it. Better or worse than Ultima VII? Working on windows 8.1?

8.1 AND 10 (just like Theme Hospital) and like TH, another DOSBox special.  Quite frankly, I'm hoping the Hot Pursuit reboot comes to OTH soon.

I completely forgot about the "On The House" program.

 

I am not seeing Ultima 8 any more, I see something called "Amazing Adventures The Caribbean Secret"

Still seeing Ultima 8 and the game you mentioned is 5 euros for me.

A lot worse apparently (haven't played either):

Zuma Revenge is the latest OTH game

Yes - a Windows game this is (playable on 10 sans issues) - I have the prequel and therefore grabbed this one.  (If you're familiar with the LUXOR series, this is the competition to it.)

 

Hop (ribbit) to it, people.

Titanfall hit Origin Game Time last week; this week it's Plants vs. Zombies - Garden Warfare.  Other than their size, both are ideal for Windows 10 PCs - including portables in most cases.  Even better, when GameTime ends, neither is $20USD.

Mulch your enemies.

Apparently Red Alert 2 was more popular than EA anticipated. For right now, the game has been removed from OTH and Theme Hospital is back as the OTH game.

Wow, you guys are loving Command & Conquer Red Alert™ 2 and Yuri’s Revenge™On the House! the demand is so high that we need some time to cool down our servers. Command & Conquer Red Alert™ 2 and Yuri’s Revenge™ will return to on the house very shortly.

I already own RA2 and YR (bought them when they originally released) but grabbed the free Origin copies anyway, since it'll be nice to have a digital copy incase something ever happens to my discs :p plus can play without needing the discs! :happy:

Can we play Red Alert 2 in 1080p like we can for other old games like Balder's Gate, Fallout and Planescape? Is it still worth it?

No idea - I haven't fired up RA2 yet; though it WOULD be nice.  Still, I kinda doubt it (since Generals and ZH don't support 1080p, and they are newer than RA2).

Lol. Spoony is talking as an Ultima fan. Its actually a relatively good game in its own right, but it was a disappointment from the previous Ultima games just because it departed from the Ultima formula. There are a few frustrating things, like platform puzzles, where if you fall into a puddle of water, you die, but its mostly a fun game. It has a really nice atmosphere, and you get to do fun things like climb into locked buildings, wander through catacombs, figure out physics puzzles. The plot elements are also well done, and the game is very cinematic.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
