My inlaws gave us the best Xmas pressie ever this year. Something I never thought I'd own. And something which I considered appliance extravaganza. But I am now a convert. I have seen the light! A dishwasher is a fantastic device and I absolutely love it! My kitchen hasn't been this orderly for years. And those who know me can testify that I run a tight ship...
Over 10 years ago I borrowed Simon the Sorcerer from my good friend Esben. However, I have never really had a machine capable of running it. Today, while waiting for cross compilers to build, I finally completed this fantastic game thanks to ScummVM. A few months ago I also relived my Amiga days through Monkey Island 1 & 2.
Meanwhile elsewhere Vanessa is having no end of fun playing Super Mario World...
Why don't anyone make witty adventures and cutesy platform games anymore?
Contemporary (oh, how I hate that word) games are lame. Who thought all this texture-mapped 3D crap was a good idea? Really. Come on! It looks like shit! When I want a high level of realism I leave the house! The outside looks much nicer than anything your 1GB NVidiot card can render.
Off to find Curse of Monkey Island on Ebay...
