Yep, It dosen't work very well on an e-machine computer with Vista, but it's a good game.

Age of... games have always been good because of there random map feature that keeps it going.

*sigh* I miss games.

With both my hands bound up like this the only games I can play are card games and slow moving adventure games.

How I long to hold a gamepad once more... *tear*

I broke my shoulder on a bike once. It was two high up for them to cast so I had a sling. It just hung there a broken bone with no support. I was high on vikadin for the first couple of days and had to go to school with a sling for three weeks.

That's awful. Every time I've broken a bone I didn't have to go to school, so it wasn't that bad. Although, now I have two broken arms and I have to go to work to type on a keyboard all day.

Oh well, at least I don't have to write. Anything I write with my cast on looks like spilled ink.

You just have to be like that kid who wrote into Nintendo Power to explain how he learned to play the NES with his feet after both his arms were put in casts.

That kid is my hero, but I think I would shoot myself if I was that much of a geek.

Of course, I do reverse engineer videogames for fun, so how ungeeky can I be?

he can't play with his Wii that is hardly an appropriate subject, besides he has two broken arms, that was hard enough with a broken shoulder.

Sadly, Widigo is right. Not about the masturbation part (I've devised a way), but about the controller. I can hold a remote, but swinging and pushing buttons is difficult. The thumb of my left had is also casted, and with the cast covering both palms makes it near impossible to hold it properly.

I was able to do a little DOS gaming for awhile before my hands got too sore, so I guess that's something.

I'm replaying an old favorite right now - Secret of Mana. I'm a little less than halfway through. I just arrived at the Empire Northtown after going through the sewers.

I'm enjoying it a lot. Unfortunately, it's a similar experience to replaying Shadowgate or A Link to the Past in that once you know the solutions to all the puzzles, there's pretty much no challenge anymore, but I do like being reminded of the parts where I had gotten stuck when I get to them.

The game's visuals, music, and dialogue are still always entertaining, too.

I'm also trying to "restore" my lost save file in the sense that I used to have one in which the characters all had the max weapon skills and magic skills, and I even had some of the "ultimate" weapons. But I lost that file when the apartment flooding killed the battery and I'm working on recreating it now.

Secret of Mana is a favorite of mine also. Probably my favorite SNES game over all. I agree about the replay value though. It's -far- too easy once you know all the weaknesses of the bosses and you have the maps pretty much memorized.

Hmm... I smell a game hack to make it harder. Really, if you could just eliminate spell chaining on the bosses, the game would be a lot harder. I mean, you can kill almost every boss simply by chaining earthslide until they die.

Good luck getting everything back.



While I've never played Morrowind, I've heard nothing but good things about it. Zeus looks cool as well; kind of like Age of Mythologies.

Are you talking about the NES/SNES conversion clone seen here?

One of the local media places sells it, and I've been tempted to buy it. However, most of the retro gaming I do is on emulators these days so it's hard to justify.

Shoot me now, guys. I'm playing REACH, the boxing/management game from MDickie. Sadly, it has the best boxer management (as far as the business part goes) I've seen in a video game. Sadly because I don't like MDickie.
