yup, don't you forget about me ... ( Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me) feb '85
Good old eighties ,towards the 90's everything went slowly downwards , ..... ⊙︿⊙ until .... 2002 (✖╭╮✖) things got (much) worse... the start of ???? (+_+)

Anyway, 2014 was a very good year for me : i joined GOG ............and spend all my euros on games ⊂◉‿◉つ.

i have a few Euros left .... had not much to start with , maybe 40 or 50 bucks left ( for the past months so thats not much a month), sofar nothing arrived i'm intrerested in..
once a while a game i like comes along but has high system requirements, and i stopped buying games i have to run at minimum , if i cannot run it at recommended it's no buy.... playing at min. is very frustrating (⊙﹏⊙)

The evil Steam sale will soon arrive , sofar i have little on the wishlist , the past few months a few good games arrived , much of the hundreds of games that arrived is more shovelware , 90% of the AAA games are filled with 3d, fpp shooters and more 3d violence, and the few casualgames i used to buy ( series) wont run offline without the steam client so i ignored their games :D leaving very little on the wishlist...

Anyway, compared to last year and 2016 this year was pretty average regarding buying games in general, thats on retail, here at GOG , Steam and Gamersgate , the positive will be i might be able to get a new pc somewhere next year, but play what games on it ? forced to win 10 because of the hardware not recognised, and many games will probably fail to load or play with flaws.... maybe a new OS should arrive.... new people with a clean sheet and still willing to commit to business, mickesoft is gone down the drain in away....

I still wonder what if someone has 300 to 900 games and 30% or more will never work on win 10 ? will those be lost games ? a sort of small collateral damage as a sideeffect of win 10 not 100% compatible with the old games?
i mean 99% of all my old games except 16 bit ofcourse, run a charm on win 7 64 bits.

What's up with the page for Forsaken? There's this weird bit of too-zoomed-in, poorly cropped logo covering part of the "window" at the top of the page (where the auto-playing video resided at the launch of the new site design). It looks like it's not supposed to be there -- and if it is, it looks terrible.

Amazing sale with great games and back to the classic layout. It's a dream sale! Too bad I already own everything. GOG, methinks it's time for more classics. :D

It's where they put logos after redesign. They probably messed up graphics file somehow.

Awesome series! I remember the first one being the least forgiving, but the atmosphere had kind of an optimistic Star Trek feel.

What are they like Myst in space?

I never got beyond the first few steps in the original Myst (too confusing) so I couldn't say. The puzzles were fairly simple in the Journeyman series with few instances of the kind of illogical craziness that pervades the genre.

My adventure game pedigree is fairly weaksauce with Nibiru being the most "hardcore" of the genre that I've played. I don't remember much that was needlessly frustrating except for one issue in either the first or second game (the post where we figured out the simple solution is in the Journeyman specific subforum), so they are fairly accessible.

how are they unforgiving? I don't like timers and fail states in my adventure/puzzle games.

That's what I wanted to hear.

I could barely get past the title screen in Myst. :P

I guess I better check these games out.

I want to say there was one failstate towards the last few minutes of the end that was fairly obvious. It's been about 6 years (?) since I last played the series so I don't quite remember.

I don't remember anything other than maybe one tough timer toward the end of the first game.

I guess the trend is that the first was the hardest.

Army Men: World War already €1.59 ?

But it was released just a few weeks ago .

The games aren't bad, I am not a huge fan of first person adventures but it is fairly decent. I like the story even if it gets convoluted (as a good time travel story should.

hearing about fail states and timers doesn't make me optimistic, might end up watching a let's play instead.

Indeed
