I used to push my cockatiels crest down and be like “You look funny with no crest!”

I think you’ll find there’s mainly one group of people that fall into the “Linux isn’t ready” category - ‘Windows Power Users who cite specific use cases’.

The Chzo Mythos games. Point and click adventure series made in AGS.

I first played 5 Days A Stranger when it was out, and it was my favourite adventure game.

Then 7 Days A Skeptic, which was basically more of the same and I thought it was very cool.

After that is Notes, which is a text parser instead of point and click. Still a lot of fun, but I always use the guide to help myself in parts.

Last one was 6 Days A Sacrifice, which I don’t remember very well, I haven’t played it as much as the other games.

Also the same guy made a game called 1213, which I loved. It played more like Flashback, cinematic platformer style.

I only really played red and blue myself, but we did play the Green rom back before the English version came out. I think we stumbled out way along to the first gym. That’s probably my go to, since back in the day we completely exhausted ourselves playing it.

I watched my partner play Sword. It looked pretty good. She’s playing it again now with our daughter and it seems fun.

I started playing Soul Silver with my daughter on a DS emulator, and it seems good too.

I had Diamond on my DS years ago, but I only remember playing it for about an hour.

But you can’t but an early build of Diablo that was basically a “snapshot of the entire game 4 months prior to release”.

The original Transport Tycoon was distributed as shareware, would have been 95 or 96 when I was playing it off a shareware disc.

Not sure if TTD got a shareware release too, but i got that one as a retail boxed version.

But for 94 or 95 if you didn’t have a shareware version then your game was pretty much doomed.

I think this question just fried my brain. I don’t even know where to start.

Most played shareware of all time though was probably Transport Tycoon.

What kind of projector did you use?

It’s maybe not so bad, but I spent ridiculous hours in POD, playing every track and in reverse, and with every car, and split screen multiplayer.

I’ve never been able to get it to work with dgVoodoo, so the 3dfx crispness isn’t there. And I think it’s limited to 800x600 (but I remember it being somewhat prone to crashes above 640x480, this was about 10 years ago though). I also had a lot of audio popping which I couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

It was such a great looking game to show off the Glide graphics on a 15” svga monitor, but for me it didn’t scale well on a 24 - 27” hi res screen.

Road Rash and Skitchin are great. The Ayrton Senna games too, but I played those on Master System.

Network Q RAC Rally Championship on DOS is as good as it gets. Not the sequel International Rally Championship, which is far worse.

POD on Windows 9x. It has not held up and doesn’t look so good no matter how you get it working now. But if you played it back then those memories will live inside you forever.

Badlands on Commodore 64.

Moto Roader 2 on PC Engine.

NFS Porsche Unleashed/2000 (whatever they called it in your region) is the best NFS game.
