Super Metroid - the atmosphere in the beginning of the game was something else when I started it the first time. The rain, the music... As a kid I was just mesmerized.
Gradius - being too fast is not always the best.
Factorio - planning goes a long way. Even if you think you planned for enough space for your construction it will never be enough as you probably need to make it larger later on.
Mowing lawns are boring and you look at it the wrong way. In a better future less people have to work their ass off, enjoying more free time to do whatever they want to do. Maybe spend time with your kids, go out fishing, hiking, do whatever. This is a future I want to see and the more jobs "lost" to robots, the better.
Now for this to be true there have to be large changes in how everything works. Basic income is one thing for example. Nobody should be suffering over not working their ass off but we are not there yet and today exactly as you say, there is probably someone who doesn't need more money just getting more cash in their account instead, sadly.
Yup. Can be away from it for months but it is always in the back of my mind. If I just had more time.
I think this was a new feature in the next version of Android. I don't know if there is anything at the moment however. Sorry.
Different style of game. Samurai Showdown.
I remember reading from someone working in the same building as them and saw them working as usual. It's done when it's done.
Got a NES with Mario and Gradius as a Christmas present. Opened the present with Gradius first and had no clue what it was but that would be the first game I ever played. Then running into the goomba in Mario like everyone did :)
As a Swedish person i just learned a new word.
Agreed. Runemaster really gives a feeling of what it is to be a wizard. I had so much fun with this class.
I would have agreed with you here if it wasn't for me having to reinstall my server because of a faulty harddrive. A couple of years ago I just remember headaches and silently screaming on Linux while fixing my server but this time, just a couple of months ago I tried another distro and it was awesome. Everything just works, just like windows. I am actually considering switching my gaming desktop to dual boot Linux because of this. Maybe one day...
I managed to get to level 5 with only long resting once per level and I play a bard. With that I can also say that my casters did feel pretty useless :)
The game gives the feeling of urgency and no time to rest but in fact there are just some quests that are time based. Take your time, use spells and rest every couple of encounters. Going all out every fight would make things really easy I think but having some restrictions to not do that and playing smart instead is something that at least I enjoy.
A week... My family took 4 week vacations every summer. Of course I had to buy a game the first week. Those manuals and gaming magazines during summer got a lot of attention.
Sweet memories.
