Steam Deals and Digital Sales

Been seeing May the 4th be with you sales and specials popping up in all the usual places. It has the opposite of the intended affect though, instead of making me excited to buy Star Wars stuff, it just reminds me I've bought everything worth a shit already, and is really more of an anti-advertisement that the franchise is getting raped in a back room at Disney.

4 square enix games for $50 including DQ11 and FF12

Seems like a good deal if you don't have any Sierra games. Tier 1 is reasonable, other not so much if you have some of the games.

Phantasmagoria wow. IIRC that game had titties at a certain point?

Might've been 7th Guest. All those games were awesome when I was a kid.

I don't know any of these games. I clearly had a shitty childhood.

PC gaming in the early 90s was weird

Kings Quest 6 and one of the Roger Wilco games were staples in our house growing up. Sim City 2000 and Civilization 1 were the other games I vividly remember owning for our first computer which was some model of Apple. Might pick this bundle up just for nostalgia...

Forgot about SimTower, loved that game. What was the new-ish game that came out a few years ago that was like the modern version of it?

Started PC gaming in 93 and I'm amazed looking back how few games I played during that 7yr period. C&C, Civ, Doom, Quake, UO, SimTower, Falcon 4.0 Age of Empires I probably buy more games every year in the 2010-2019 decade than I did in the 90s, but I still gamed all the time.

C&C Red Alert was the first game I played multiplayer via tcp/ip to a neighbor. Took us forever to figure out that I needed to dial his house and let his modem answer it. There was no google or real instructions, you just had to figure it out.

I wanna say Warcraft 2 was the first game I did this with. And in the pre game lobby you would see the other person typing in real time. This blew my mind. It was so cool. Lol

WC2 was one of my first online games too. It may have also been Worms 2 demo. I remember spending so much time on an ice map, which may have been the only one at the time, getting so good with the ninja rope. It got to the point where whoever went first could traverse the map and kill the other almost every time.

It's not my cup of tea, but I guess some of you might be interested since it's a decent game.
