Keeping the Fallout lovefest burning a little longer with a peek at the original release's autoplay menu in Win 98 and the cool installer artwork. 🔥
HUMONGOUS INSTALLATION: 644MB.
With my 1.2GB HDD back then, that really was too humongous an installation; very likely used the 88MB option.

Small pick up! Lemmings Revolution on PC boxed!
I had this game growing up but it gave us issues on our PC so I didn't get to play it much. I will be adding it to my backlog wheel!
Looks really neat but I really should start with the amiga/DOS games first I think!

"The point is I was defending the fantasy genre with terminal intensity, when what I should have said is "Dad, you're right, but let's give Krull a try and we'll discuss it later.""
Spaced is amazing, and you can, and should watch all 14 episodes on Tubi:

Here's some BS -- the PC version of the CE doesn't include the booklet. Why, @limitedrungames.com??

This stuff being explained to generations who have no idea makes me feel old AF.
Windows lives on the C: drive, and the reason it's not called A: or B: goes back to the 1970s

Yesterday I stumbled across a Reddit-post from user "Apprehensive-Tea7447" showing off a PHYSICAL EDITION OF SKALD that he made as a fan project! The product looks insanely good😍 One of the most moving tributes I've ever gotten and it felt absolutely amazing to see!

Wow!
We've just been having a look through a sweetly presented digital version of the Jurassic Park novel for the Apple Mac released in 1991.
In the preface, Michael Crichton talks about how enthusiastic he is for the format and how it allows him to add sound effects and animations.

Replaying KotOR1 right now. The design is fascinating to come back to after all the retro cRPGs that have come out in the last ten years. The dialogue trees are so broken... 🤦♂️

It's weird to go back to KOTOR 1...
On one hand, it's from a dark age of empty corridors, bad encounter design & dully walking back & forth. Huge downgrade from BG2, feels VERY constrained by console hardware.
On the other, it's very impressive how BioWare made it so engaging despite all that.

A thing of beauty!
Almost all my boxed PC games are on the shelves! This means that this room officially 1/4th done! The mini shelves next to these ones are next then comes the console games shelf!
I'm getting close to half way done!
See a PC game you like or have questions about? Let me know! ^^
