What are you playing? - Page 144

Played some more Binding of Isaac today, I'm still not at all tired of the game, it's really very good imo.

Played through it twice, with two different characters that I hadn't used much before... think I've played through it with all the characters now, finished it 9 times... I think 10 is the amount of times you need to finish it to gain access to the hell area, I'll soon find out anyway.

Re: Alan Wake. Fanastic game. I got a shiny new bigscreen lcd tv the day it was released (hired it from video library) and did nothing but play it all the way through for the following few days. Bought it as soon as the price dropped (I *never* buy games at the crazy prices theyre 1st sold at) and once again played it all the way through.

Just recently bought Alan Wake: American Nightmare as well, but havent had a chance to play that yet. Will probably be next "proper" game I play though. Currently Ive been playing with my (bought with xmas money) Kinnect and a few games I bought for it. I must admit to being surprised just how physical it is (Kinnect). I remember thinking the same thing of the Wii, but it's an entirely different level of physicality. Quite good fun, altough I cant imagine me using it as heavily as I am currently in a month or 2. Still nice to have though and can be bought nice and cheap nowadays (I got mine for $57 with a game).

Completing Toki on the Amiga was, and still is, one of my proudest gaming achievements. That game is as hard as hell, especially the boss fight at the end. Best of luck.

Replaying Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis via ScummVM with my GF since she never played it before.

Peter · 05 February 2013, 23:12

@ TCD - my girlfriend loved this game...! I must play through it again one of these days but I bet my Girlfriend would not have the patience to play it now... :-(

TCD · 05 February 2013, 23:16

We're just at the beginning and I know there are some quite 'demanding' parts... but Day Of The Tentacle (our 'premiere'

) went really well (and was a lot of fun), so I'm quite sure she'll enjoy Indy too

I'll recommend DOTT, because it's not too long and has a lot of great gags in it

gimbal · 06 February 2013, 11:51

Dont miss the original sam & max,that one always makes me laugh no matter how often i play it. Full talky version of course.

TCD · 06 February 2013, 11:53

Already locked & loaded in ScummVm and next on our list

Oldskool Bitz · 08 February 2013, 15:28

Titus the Fox (the Amiga version). Great game.

JudasEZT · 14 February 2013, 19:06

Blood Money.. but on C64. Beautiful gameplay and very addictive.

I like Amiga version despite its gameplay flaws and tedious intro.. but this C64 is definitively more hooking and addictive. Brilliant 8 bit stuff!!

TCD · 15 February 2013, 02:10

Playing (well... mainly watching) Traps & Treasures

Really a great platform puzzler

There's quite a bit of 'unforgiving' puzzles in this one, but the overall presentation and level design makes up for it

Really recommended

Anakirob · 15 February 2013, 05:30

I am playing with myself

Demos on WHDLoad that is!

Anyone got any links to any new pre-installs that are not one of KG's? old packs?

Thankyou again mate,

TCD · 15 February 2013, 09:59

The guy to ask is Retroplay and he has uploaded quite a few pre-installed demos to the file server in 'Commodore_Amiga/Retroplay/WHDLoad_Updates/Demos'

$£%^%%$"£

In other words. I've given up with Toki.

: lol

Still trawling through GTA4 (think I'm about 3/4 way through the missions now).

As for the Amiga: I've been taking a trip down memory lane and trying to figure out AMOS Professional. Bloody hell. I've had to load up some of the examples to figure out how to do the basics again (like open up a screen!). Geez. Thought I'd never forget how to program but alas, appears I have. Probably something to do with the fact that several years after AMOS, I got into HTML, CSS and a little PHP - something else I no longer do. Too time-consuming. Much prefer retro gaming these days than getting into dirty coding lol.

gimbal · 15 February 2013, 23:05

You can do both alternating you know, I certainly manage

Although now I've added cooking to the mix, which eats up a large chunk of my programming and gaming time. Certainly the most rewarding thing I do, imagine eating like a king every day without the costs.

My gaming time right now is very limited due to a bum ankle, so I play games that I can drop in and out of. I've picked up Legend of Grimrock again for a second playthrough. My intention was to check out some of the retro remake dungeons, but they're nowhere near in a finished state yet so I have to be a little more patient.

laffer · 18 February 2013, 14:08

Retro City Rampage, great indie game with awesome pixel art graphics... trailer [ Show youtube player ].

Oh and I bought and finished another indie game last night, "Potatoman Seeks the Troof"... I enjoyed it quite a bit, fun little game... but my main complaint would be that it's much too short.
I love the graphics, they're done in a very charming Atari 2600 kind of style.

[ Show youtube player ] a look at the game by JimPlaysGames (really cool Youtube channel, one of my favourites)... it's where I found out about the game to begin with, he does this "Pseudo Retro" series, which is great.

gimbal · 03 March 2013, 22:03

Been playing Civ 5 again (gold edition on sale on steam right now) - I had a slightly bad opinion about this game being too boring and repetitive in the end-game but this time I've been watching some videos to learn how to properly play it and that has -greatly- increased my fun level. I now trade and scheme like there is no tomorrow. The Gods & Kings expansion makes this game a heap of a lot better; the AI is more devious and actually uses strategies that you can't see coming from a mile away.
