They have a good point when ever I get a new computer(which is not that often) their is a few games I always try to get it to run.
Namely (and in no particular order): Recoil, Stratosphere, Screaming Skies, Rise Resurrection II, SHOGO, Future Cop LAPD, Doom, Claw, Fallout, and Warlords Battlecry.
Way I see it so long as I have those games on my computer I'm not allowed to say that I'm bored. OFC most of the time I should be doing work anyhow but that is not the issue here. To me these were many of the first games I ever played and hold a special place in my heart. Sadly I know that someday computer tech will get to advanced to even emulate it.
Which is really mind blowing when you think about it. It's like saying your to smart to act dumb....
BTW anyone know how to get an 8bit program to install on a 64bit os? This is for Screaming Skies mine you. It wont install off the CD of course so I ripped the files out and set them up but the the games EXE still checks and auto closes it. Last time I tried useing Dos-Box and it still wouldn't work.

"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

What's insulting is to so summarily dismiss so many artists out there simply because you don't like the medium they use to express themselves.

the pretty much anything can be.

Art is subjective. It's a form of communication. One medium is not always better or worse than another. Indeed, quite often the medium is crucial to the message trying to be conveyed.|

Was Andy Warhol an artist? Did he produce art? Did he suddenly stop being an artist when he filmed a performance piece of himself eating a hamburger, simply because he used film to make it?

(I know, standard typo. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to reference another obscure underwater video game. )
Suggestions:
Super Packs Done Right
Influence Sink: IO Level Mod/Recrafting
Random Merit Rolls: Scale cost by Toon Level

Ah yea I heard of that video game. And I think there are many other games named Fathom most seem to be those simplistic flash games or other free download things. |

This almost goes in line with what's been being discussed in other threads about "new ideas" getting ridiculed by the status quo, regardless of whether or not the ideas are good ones.
There are many artists that we now praise as brilliant revolutionaries, who in their lifetime, were not even considered artists.
