My first game of 2024 was also my last game in 2023: Being a DIK.

I looked this up and was impressed with how complicated mechanics of a golf game could get. I hope you get the DOS version in 2024.

The weather here is more like early spring, so it would make sense not to include it in the winter sale XD

Here I am without a raunchy joke :(

Hello all,

The Bard's Tale ARPG - Remastered and Resnarkled. Not a great start for this year I am afraid.

Freecell Solitaire!

How so? Sprawling beautiful world?! Melody, the drunk bard (if you took that route) and the director's cut of the game. What can go wrong?

what i played btw, while waiting for the last fireworks fanatics to find their bed, was star trader : frontiers. Nice indie title, such a shame it ain't on gog (yet)

Okay, now that I read it again... it does sound a bit weird :D

I think that must have been a round of mahjong solitaire while sipping on my second mugful of tea of the day.

Picked up Jagged Alliance 3, and so far really enjoying it.

I thought I'd have fun with it considering how legendary its aura has been in my childhood. I hadn't played it, but always heard good things.

Alas, the stiff and slow combat ruined my enjoyement. Exploring is fun, the lack of loot (auto convert in currency) is a fantastic time saver (no inventory clutter ? Woohoo) and I do enjoy the story/dialogs. The summoning is a neat idea as well but yeah, dunno, it's not clicking with me the way I hoped it would.

Maybe I'm just not in the correct mood and possibly too harsh with a 2003 game regularly on sale under 4€.

Think I'm only halfway through the game yet and I do expect to finish it at least.

lol, it is the title of the game. I thought you made a word joke, expressing yourself with a slew of degrading words in place of the actual title of the game. But no, suddenly i also remember that the game you are playing came as recommended, at least to some.

Hf for the remainder though

oh and, the title i was mistaken with is the 2020,19? reimagination of a bard's tale. Full-blown RP 1st person party dungeon crawler

Last Call BBS

because I thought it would be mildly amusing to play it first because of the name.

No idea about the remaster, but what was annoying in the original were the console controls, and of course not knowing what you're going to say when picking a dialogue option. But that game's far less about the actual gameplay and all about just having fun, to just make your way through it for the narrator, the songs, the cutscenes and various other events.

To answer the OP, in my case last night it was Heroine's Quest, but shouldn't count as I just installed it, got to the character creation screen, then uninstalled, to test something. First game actually played was still Diggles, just putting a few more minutes into it today. Hoped to have finished it by the end of the year, but in December I focused on catching up on reading. And what the heck, I started it in 2021 and been very slowly chipping away at it, so what's another month or three or however long?

Dragon's Lair 3D: Return to the Lair

I actually bought 3 at once :). Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition. I know some people do not like EGS but that 33% extra off voucher while the pack was already 50% off during the sale made me try it.
