Congratulations but I suspect your backlog was kind of small. :)

I wouldn't say so:

334 games on GOG alone :)

You obviously have the power to freeze time.

Every good physicist should be able to do so ;)

Can I enter for <span class="bold">genkicolleen</span>, please?

I think that is everyone's pet peeve. Older adventure games were famous for it - which is why you picked up everything you found and tried everything on anything clickable. My family has been revisiting KIng's Quest 2 during all the winter weather and there were several calls of - now how did they expect us to know to do that? Man if we hadn't picked up those oddball objects for no apparent reason whatever, we'd be so stuck now!

Also - thank you, RoloTony! I appreciate the support!

TL;DR

not in

Congrats on defeating your backlog, Ghorpm. That is mighty impressive.

Now that you get to replay the games you actually enjoy, the real fun begins!

If I may, I'd like to be in for <span class="bold">genkicolleen</span>, please.


My GOG backlog is pretty puny but it just takes me so long to get into a game.
Sometimes I'll install a game and play around with the controls and settings for an hour.
Then I'll leave the game for a week or three and forget almost everything I learned in that hour - but still retain a little something.
Then I'll come back the next time, learn a bit more and retain a bit more, until I've finally eased my way into being comfortable with the controls and how the game is supposed to be played. Then I play.
It's hard to just jump in and rip through a game.

As a child in the '80s I had a dream that I was walking through the park as usual and by the edge of the woods I came upon a box, like a treasure chest, that was filled with Nintendo games. It was so vivid and felt so real that when I woke up I thought it was true, but reality slowly dawned on me until I felt a terrible sense of loss.
Well, now my dream has essentially become not only real, but overwhelming for many of us. And there will be no sense of loss - we aren't even threatened by DRM. We have only to discipline ourselves and to hack away at our bounty.
Seriously, though, aren't we living in a dream with all these games? It's unbelievable.

Anyway, I don't know where this belief comes from that a game must be finished, but I seem to share it. So cheers to you for being an inspiration. I look forward to replaying my games, eventually.

And so we have two backlog winners:
I'll send you PMs within few minutes

Congratulations to the winners and thanks Ghorpm for the giveaway. Congratulations again on the achievement, and I hope that's not the end of your game playing.

I'm playing my favorite games once again and I have a real blast. I picked those which I didn't have any digital versions so atm I'm playing Beasts & Bumpkins, Dark Earth, Drakan, Dune (original!), Faust, Myth 2, Submarine Titans and Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat. I love those games!

Congrats to both winners. Thanks Ghorpm.

Congratulations to the two winners!

Three cheers for the phenomenon of quantum tunneling!

Congratulations to genkicolleen and kmonster.

Thanks for the GA, Ghorpm!
