Are you able to get Arcanum to run on Windows 10+ or Linux? My nostalgia sense wants to do another playthrough or 10 but every time I try it just … won’t work.
I got it on Steam if that helps. There usually isn’t comparability issues released on there and anything from XP to 11 seems fine. No mention of Linux.
Not sure. I had no issues on 11. If it’s happening in Linux and Win,.I’m guessing it more hardware related. Try disconnecting any additional monitors, installing to another disk, that kinda stuff. I was going to suggest making a new Win profile and signing into that—I’ve had that fix launching old games—but dunno if that’ll help.
Counter-strike 1.6. That game meant the world to me. I remember all the fun mods like surfing, knife, kz (climbing), zombie survival, grenades only, knife with janky ass cars.
I know certain modes can be found now too in games like roblox. My little sister plays roblox and plays a ton of the climbing ones (i think its called obby or something). But i miss the counter strike gameplay. I think my favorite was bunnyhop hide and seek. I hosted a server and it got pretty popular. We all build fun levels together and played all day. I miss these old dedicated server games with fun mods 😔.
Been looking into getting into DF but it all seems intimidating and lacking polish. Is it worth the effort? I know people love it, but learning curve is kind of annoying. If you had to compare it to a similar game, which one would it be?
Only causally reading about it. Didn’t purchase the game yet. Graphically it’s much better, which is why I was drawn to the idea of getting in the first place. Am not much of a fan of ascii art in games.
The Steam version is great, but still fairly intricate. (not complicated, but there is a lot going on) also get DFHack, it automates a lot of the confusing stuff). Definitely worth the effort IMO, I am having a lot of fun with it. For example, I was besieged by goblins last night, and after a big fight one of my dwarves killed their leader, and we won the day. My champion was praised in song and engravings, and we made a platinum statue in his likeness, that was displayed in the entrance to the fort. A few weeks later the Duke of Paperprice (the name of my fort) threw a tantrum because his mandated goods was delivered late, and in his rage he killed our hero. One of the dwarven kids had to carry his mangled body down to the Atomsmasher. Ah well, that’s dorfs for you.
It was one of those rampage, run and gun, giant robot city destroying games.
I remember it wouldn’t run on “modern” operating systems, so it had to be emulated, but was so much fun stomping tanks and firing giant guns at skyscraper-sized robots.
Fallout 2, Sanitarium (although point and click it’s worth mentioning for anyone who hasn’t played it), Quake 1/2/3, Half-Life all of it, Portal all of it, OpenTTD, Theme Hospital, Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and 3, etc.
