In Windows 10 if you go to your control panel you can choose to run older programs. It has the capability. I haven't used it much, but it hasn't let me down.

LOL @Shagger can’t be trusted around ice cream. It will vanish mysteriously. Myself, I can’t be trusted around gummies. Anything gummy will vanish in seconds around me. Also if you have chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, it better be locked up tight. I’ll wolf a quart of that down lightning fast.

PNP = Plug And Pray Pray that the damn thing works, that is.

@LadyDay you're a touch off. Arch Enemy is black metal. Six Feet Under, now there is a death metal band. Chris Barnes is awesome there. Cannibal Corpse was good during the Chris Barnes years, but when he left I was done. Some other bands you might like are Dimmu Borgir, Marduk, Them, Cradle Of Filth, Deicide, Broken Hope, and Kreator to name just a few. My all time favorite band will always be Disturbed, but there's others I like too.

I'm not too much of a PC gamer, but about 20-25 years ago I was more into it. I played games like Diablo 1&2, Age Of Empires 1&2, MDK, and a few hunting games. One of my favorites was Deer Avenger. That one was absolutely hilarious. Of the games mentioned, the only ones I currently have anymore are AOE2, Diablo, and Diablo 2. But I'm not sure where Diablo 2 is. I came across it a couple months ago, but don't remember what I did with it. At least with Windows 10 it has the ability to run older programs. So that's a plus.

Zelda OoT I just beat the water temple about 20 minutes ago

If you really want to get a woman's attention, the best pickup line is "Hello" BTW, I'm a woman.

I can help you with the Greeks, and that is my religion. I pay homage to the ancient Gods and Goddesses as worshiped by the ancient Greeks.

If you can spare the money, I say you should always build your own.

Does anyone else play this? I downloaded it a couple weeks ago, and have been playing the hell out of it. It's a simple side scroller, and kinda goofy, but it's a lot of fun.

I don't do anything for other people. Their enjoyment means nothing to me. But then again, all the games I play are single player, and none are online games. So that may make a difference.

And I thought I had seen everything with AVGN's toaster Nintendo.

Does that same sentiment go for the way I do it? I put myself at a disadvantage to add extra challenge to the game.

Since their beginning as a playing card company, Nintendo has always tried to improve in every way with their systems. True, they’ve had a few serious flops (Virtual Boy) but they always try. Which is more than can be said for most.

From what I’ve read and seen online, the only real difference will be the name of the systems. Yes there will be games released that are only playable on that generation. But there’s so far no real improvement to graphics or processors that I’ve come across in any articles. Look at the PS5. It’s going to be fully compatible with PS4 games. That should be a red flag to begin with. Reverse play is a good thing, but when that’s the selling point of a system, instead of other technological improvements, I tend to lose a bit of faith.

There are a couple NPC’s that absolutely drive me insane. Of the two that stick out in my mind, one is supposed to be beneficial. The other is just enraging by its mere existence. The supposed beneficial one is Odin in FF8. Typically I don’t mind him. But when he starts showing up in literally every single fight you get into, then you’re no longer playing the game. You’re just walking around for a second and the game does everything else. It makes games not worth playing. The other is Kaepora Gaebora. That worthless fucking owl, is enraging to me. It’s almost impossible to look in a different direction without the bastard interrupting the game. It never even offers anything to help the game. Nothing but inane gossip. Shit that no one needs or wants. It doesn’t offer any clues or directions. So what is the god damn point? For this thing, there is none.

When I read the question @DC asked, my first thought was webmastering languages. Personally, I taught myself HTML when I was 16. I know it extremely well, but I haven't been able to grasp any others. I can manipulate prewritten JavaScript, but can't write my own.

Most games are aimed at computers not Macs. Don't look at me like I'm an idiot. Due to the vast differences, in the world of computers above consumer, Macintosh machines are technically not computers, but an entirely separate type of machine. Yes they are used for the same purpose, but it's like comparing a truck and a motorcycle. Same thing, but not.

That comment right there threw me off for a minute. I was thinking "How the hell can you level wrong?" But as I read your post it became very clear. Being a classic gamer, the type of leveling I'm used to is you just get stronger as you go up in levels. Nothing fancy. Out of all the games I play, the most intricate leveling I can think of off the top of my head is Zelda 2. There may be another one, but I can't think of any.

If you want difficulty, try using Search Snake through an entire run in Mega Man 3. That weapon is all but useless.

I would have to throw Q*Bert into this. I have loved this game since my early childhood, and love it to this day. I can't get enough of it. I even have it on my phone, so I can play it when I'm out. I highly recommend it to absolutely everyone, whether you like isometric games or not.
