Dogs are predictable pain in the ass.
With cats, however, you never know what they're up to, until it's too late for your slice of bacon and pot flowers.
So cats are way better and train their servants, people, quite well.

You will get there... eventually.

2D cockpits have been used in sims for ages. Flight, submarines, trains, even tanks I think... Separate screens for left/right/forward/backward views or a panoramic scrollable 2D were also used quite often to compensate for lack of real 3D.

Hmm... anyone tried bringing a carnivorous plant into the shop or even brothel?

the shopkeepers are probably the game's hardest enemy.

Not if you bubble-zap them in the last area...

In 4th area Damsel got spawned in a one-tile room with a spike totem as one of its walls. She got immediately killed and then repeatedly rammed up behind by a copule of spikes.

fraps-d it.. might convert to gif

Also, in Area 4, I grabbed an idol and nothing happened. Could this be because of something?

Same here. Gave a corpse and a stunned one and no punishment for idol handling. :D

You looked like that being a year old?

Funny, I've got similar shades. Maybe will post a picture of them

Erik Hogan announced that he's going to make an improved version of Derelict

No screenies yet but sounds good enough for me

In Infocom's Border Zone I needed a wet hankie but somehow couldn't come up with a command to open a tap in train's WC. So I threw a handkerchief into the toilet bowl and picked it up. It was wet.

Blade Runner sort of combined multiple paths of solving problems with multiple endings.
Quest for Glory series also allowed the player some freedom of choice. Like picking your nose to death.

Actually, if you really want to research the issue, go to adventurelegends and browse through their whole catalogue year by year

We're not remaking it as BBC did

Still the colours on screenshots remind me of it... Neon palette perhaps.

Wargames. I've spent almost an hour setting up pieces in one operation in Combat Mission 2, then in the first battle I didn't fire a single shot. Afterwards all I did was order a gun or MG to stop hiding and open fire. It was pure slaughter.
In WinSPMBT it took me an hour or two to move VC units all the way across the map. Then there were lots of clicking to order suppressing fire. But we did wipe US trenches clean in the end.

Civil flight simutators like MSFS (or FlightGear). Nothing ever happens there unless you order it. Combat flight sims with dynamic campaigns which generate dozens of nearly identical missions (sometimes with no enemy in sight) are boring and cool too.

Maybe those games are not "boring" but "meditative", BTW?

Blade Runner had a wide range of noir endings.
I Have no Mouth and I Must Scream had a couple (both not so happy), not to mention non-linear gameplay and personal stories. And Ellison did a great job on AM's voice.

Oh, and the ending of The Day of the Tentacle in which everything is fine except for the US flag :D
Hitman: Blood Money with its raise-from-dead-kill-bad-guys finale was kinda fun too.

And being a combat flight sim fan I'm used to endings which do not involve you at all. Especially in historical campaigns where the outcome is pre-determined.

Planescape: Torment has, without a doubt, the best ending of any video game.

Which of the endings do you mean?

Judging by slavic roots of words in +/- the summary to the left of 60% editor's grade... (reader's rating is 74 so far).
+ Original and err... "WTF element". Guess, they were intrigued
- Low variability, frustrating gameplay and controls. Although under the review they say it won't take much time go get the hang of the game.

I could read into the main article but it would take me hours as I don't know Czech

THANKS!

You could also possibly use Filefront (no reg needed for downloads), rapidshare or similar services, or something like 4shared (5GB of space, folders, files deleted only if uploader doesn't log in for a month).

download.pi2.gamespot.com could not be found

- FF tells me. That's the second mirror. Yet this thing tracks failed attempts as successful downloads.

Heh. There is some similarity with TG.
But not many people are going to notice, I think.

Barbarians at the gates?

Hmmm.. I like the first one. On the last one the "wonders" blends with the background (and reflection is orange), the second has too much fancy glitter, while the game itself seems more mild.
