I wonder if Elder Scrolls VI will come out before Skyrim is a Good Old Game, too.

Please say there was no AI. So tired of getting hyped about a game only to realize I will never play it because of AI trash.

The worst part about playing video games is when life pulls you away from them for 2 weeks. Now that I have time to play again, I look at my save and ask myself "where am I and what was I doing?"

Oh, look! Another day 1 buy. These are still one of my favorites that I need to replay every 5 years or so. Even though I just replayed them a couple years ago, I would still go through it again to see what they add and change. #Lufia

I really was hoping for a Darkwing Duck sequel to the DuckTales reboot characters, with the same voice actors. I will still try to stay positive and hope it will be done right.

Sometimes I think about the things we get away with in older video games, like walking into a castle only to steal every treasure and defeat all the guards to escape. But once we take a step outside and return everyone forgets what you did and treats you like a friend again.

Nox is now easier to play on modern computers today thanks to @gog.com! If you haven't played or heard of Nox before, it is very similar to Diablo, but with without all the grinding and a solid storyline, 3 actually depending on your class. #retrogaming #rpg #pcgaming 👾🖥️

Really enjoying #MightandMagic 3 so far. The graphics, sound and gameplay are so well improved from the first two games that I'd say this is a good starting point if anyone is interested in the franchise. Just expect a few unforgiving events, so save often. #retrogaming #pcgaming 👾🎮
A screenshot from Might and Magic 3 showing an enemy called a screamer (a disembodied head of a man that screams) attacking a party of six adventurers, 3 of which are insane from just the sight of it.

Continueing my journey through Might and Magic again with #MightandMagic 3: Isles of Terra. Already it is such a massive upgrade from the first two games. I am going to miss my old party that carried me through the first two, though. #retrogaming #pcgaming 👾

Finally finished #GhostMaster! I didn't expect to enjoy this game that much. The challenges of the final two levels were especially entertaining and fun. Very glad I gave this one a try. #Retrogaming #strategygame 👾🎮
Oh my god! It's the Staypuff... I mean Stay Cold Ice Cream Man! Run for your lives!

It's an screenshot from the game Ghost Master showing a massive white entity called the Stay Cold Ice Cream Man outside of a small castle or fortress.

Of all the spoofs in #GhostMaster, the Ghostbreakers might be the best. Even most of the names of their team is inspired by Ghostbusters.

Some of the ideas for ghosts in #GhostMaster are so well thought out, especially the ones you need to free. The game might feel simple at first, but actually completing each level fully takes a lot of experimenting. #Retrogaming #strategygame 👾🎮💻

I am really getting tempted to install Linux on my computer after fighting to be able to play many games after one of the recent Windows 11 updates. If it gets much worse it won't be much different in compatibility.

Heroes of might and magic 3 does not need a remake. It really doesn't. It is the pinnacle of the heroes series and still often tops the sales charts on GOG. Also, I don't trust Ubisoft to actually make it properly. Pass. #MightandMagic

Another relic of a bygone era: "Might & Magic" (1986) required mapping, so they gave you a mapping pad & an example in the manual. 📝

Terranigma doesn't need to be remade, just a re-release. Since most of North America never got to play this gem, this might mean it's finally going to get the recognition it deserves.

I appreciate a bit of attitude in a tutorial, but #GhostMaster 's is almost rude. How was I supposed to know I needed to max out the gremlin's ability to trigger the nearby appliance? So far it is better than I expected. #retrogaming

I've had Ghost Master for years, but never gave it a try. I've been told I will either love scaring Sims or find it boring. Only one way to find out. #Retrogaming #strategygame
Title screen for Ghost Master. A mansion occupies the center, with an eerie mist around it. In the bottom left is a green transparent spook. In the bottom right are 4 pumpkins, one of which is a jack-o-lantern with glowing eyes.

After what seems like a dozen attempts, finally beat #MightandMagic 2! That final dungeon and puzzle was far more difficult than it needed to be, but at least the king is happy. I think I might need a change of before moving onto the Isles of Terra. #RetroGame #PCGaming
As your party approaches the king: Trumpets sound and courtiers cheer, King Kalohn exclaims, "Saviors of CRON, you are always welcome here."

Finally found that mythical fountain that gives so much max HP that it breaks the quick view of the party. Most now have over 1700HP. Now only if I can be immune to the eradicate spells... #MightandMagic 2.

Oh, hello there my archer's new favourite weapon. And here I thought the Fireball Bow was good, but this this thing makes it look like a peashooter. #MightandMagic 2
A Might and Magic 2 screenshot displaying the item “Ancient Bow +5.” The text lists class ratings (Knight, Paladin, Archer), shows the bow is equipable and usable only by good-aligned characters, and includes stats such as 200 charges, +20 accuracy, and damage listed as 1-35 plus 5.

Nothing like thinking your party is strong enough to wipe the floor with anything in your path only to find an enemy so strong you can't even touch. #MightandMagic 2 can be so unforgiving sometimes.

Finally finished Quest RPG. I enjoyed the very similar story to Quest 64, but I expected a bit more of an expansion since this was the "definitely version." Maybe it was all the articles of the famous cut content in the N64 game, but it still felt like they left out far too much. Still a good game.

Whenever anyone asks if I am going to buy Or play Grand Theft Auto 6....
An image from the book Green Eggs and Ham showing the text: "Do you like green eggs and ham? I do not like them, Sam-I-am. I do not like green eggs and ham." With the character being offered the Green eggs and ham looking disgusted and dismissive.

Lucia 2 is one of the best RPGs on the Super Nintendo. So sad that this was the series highpoint. They really need to bring this series back and give it the love it deserves. (And not the slop they released on the Nintendo DS.)

Brian is getting far too powerful. Didn't expect it to become so powerful that a wall of fire deals 1 damage. #QuestRPG on the #GBC might have been too kind with the upgrades. No grinding and already it feels easy.
