As are a lot of games of the era. I was playing Dynamite Dux again and cursing the difficulty of what appears a game for kids. Especially the sluggish movement speed is terrible because you pretty much have no chance to dodge incoming things. A hard game to complete on skill.

But that didn't stop me from completing the game on a single life when I was a kid, because I could usually kill things before they even appeared on screen. I knew exactly where each enemy would pop up, which enemy would drop food and knew exactly which path to take in levels to have the correct weapons available, especially to cheese the bosses. It's a memory game.

Hmm, I remember that the Amiga version was a bit on the slower side. Back in the early 90s I played the Master System version a bit and if memory serves me right it's not that bad (at least in the first level(s)). I haven't played either version for a while so I take your word for it

After I finally ended Cyberpunks I started A Plague Tale

[Nobby_UK]

Who would use that with that ?

I can say one thing for King's Quest 7: at least it's not King's Quest 8.

When I had my first PC Legend of Kyrandia Book Three: Malcolm's Revenge and KQ7 were all the rage in pointy clicky adventure land (my memory is as good as... yeah that!) so I enjoyed the heck out of the whole CD talky adventure thingy! That being said I never finished the game (KQ7 that is), so... I guess it's better than 8

I just got Cyberpunks in retail store (it was on sale for 18 dollars) - gog version. I already had xbox version, but never managed to go further than training area.

A plague Tale was 10-15 hours of very interesting story and action with very artistic background. Each snapshot felt like art piece. Very interesting game.

I liked the intro to Horizon Zero Dawn, but found I lost interest once the game opened up. I might come back to it at another time.

Now playing through the RE3 Remake.

We just watched a video about the development of the original RE2 and how RE3 was first meant to be a spinoff. I bought the remake of RE3 a while back and will have a go at it next weekend. The RE2 remake was pretty great, so hopefully this one isn't that much worse

I really loved progression of that game, story was balanced perfectly and lead to nice gaming experiences. I played it through on PS4, but once done, never went back to get all achievements...

I am at level 3 world 3 in Gods, and just started Cyberpunk 2077 last night. So far except one character standing with fits inside bench, everything seems OK and played well. To my surprise with High settings my video card manages to hold steady 60 FPS.

Did not install any mods. Any mods you guys recommend or would not play without??

Minecraft Dungeons on Series X.

I'm definitely replaying it.

then gave up

Cyberpunk 2077 - First play, still learning... to deal with Johnny being annoying fart.


Gods - At level 4 world 2. Slowly moving toward end of the game. Will have to reply this level, as I think I am stuck thanks to bird helper... (note to my self, we do not like birds )

[seuden]

Aladdin, Mega Drive. Great game.

Another familiar face

I'm playing some Ion Fury and Tales of Monkey Island. Ion Fury is pretty tough, but also pretty fair. On episode 2 of TOMI and Dominic Armato is the main reason to play the game. The puzzle design is... bland.
