Also, to bring this topic back on track - I aim to replay Grim Fandango again today.

Man, what an absolutely awesome and completely quotable game!

Its called murder in the abbey. Cool graphics, nice murder mystery story. Not super original but more of a homage to the classics.

I couldn't make up my mind on what to play, so I'm replaying GUN at a harder difficulty...

I remember this being mentioned by someone a while back... The graphics did look good... I'm guessing you've played it??? Is it worth it???

Yea I like it =)

Reminds me of the Sierra classics, As well as some of Jane Jensens Older titles.

I'm playing through Oblivion right now. My current goal is to pickpocket as many people as possible, so that I can get their house keys. And actually finish the game this time.

And Daggerfall is classic! Just because it was filled with bugs, and it's storyline didn't want you to follow it, and it had a billion cities and another billion dungeons that all looked the same, and you got quests to go into these randomly created dungeon's that took hours to explore just to find and kill the one bear the happened to be inside...

...or that you'd get a quest to kill some rats, but the rats would be stuck in the wall, or you couldn't get into the house without picking the lock and getting the law after you for just doing a quest.

Now Morrowind, that blew.

Today for some reason I remembered an awesome adventure game I played when I was around fourteen - did any one ever play Beavis & Butthead in Virtual Stupidity? I know it sounds a bit low-browed, but I thoroughly enjoyed it at the time, and I'd probably enjoy it just as much if I played it again - it's just a matter of going through some old boxes. It has everything you would expect from a Beavis & Butthead game, plenty of exciting game play, tricky puzzles, and fun games inside the game, including hock-a-loogie where you go on the school rooftop and spit on people, and of course the good ol' Beavis & Butthead humor. If you liked the show, you'd definately like the game. I think it works fine in WinXP also as long as you play it in Win95 compatibility mode...



I believe it's abandonware for those of you interested in playing it - here's the page with the download link ~

If you do end up playing it I would love to hear about your experience

Is it worth Downloading??? What I mean is, will it work on Modern Computers without a bunch of hassle of modifying this and tinkering with that...

I remember the spitting puzzle on the beginning of the game That was awesome. Cool graphics for it's time too.

I am playing Rogue Galaxy currently, and that game is just amazing. It's so polished, great story, fun gameplay. It really makes me wish I programmed for a game company Instead I write applications that have no flare, and are seen by .000005% of the population

I think if you click the link it makes you pay a little for the download (under $10). The download is stated as being 63000KB, but do not be alarmed, for that translates to roughly 63MB. I think you have to download the movies as an additional file and drop them in a folder. The game is totally worth it, and I don't think there's any hassle playing it on WindowsXP - there may be directions on the link I posted, but if not I I recall that you simply right click the executable, go to properties and tell it to run in Win95/98 compatibility mode, though you may not even have to do that. If you're interested, go for it - it's awesome

Have you tried running it in either Dosbox or with VDMSound? I've been able to get it to work with both. Just copy the whole CD (assuming you have the CD version of the game and enough hard drive space) to the hard drive.

I used ScummVM. Worked like a charm!

Also, this is my 1700th post.

I got Die Hard Arcade, the Sega Saturn game, for my birthday. Classic.
