If you’re an old school gamer like me, you’ve got fond memories of old RPGs like Tales of the Unknown: Volume I: The Bard’s Tale. Before it was a series, there was the original Bard’s Tale. Nothing like breaking out the graph paper and drawing your own dungeon maps. Once again, Lungfishopolis has created three […]

I don’t know how it’s possible, but I hadn’t heard of EasyTutu until just this weekend. This project is completely made of win. It’s developed by the Pocket Plane Group, and the bottom line is that it takes the Baldur’s Gate 2 engine, and lets you play Baldur’s Gate 1 with all the enhancements of […]

Although I never played any of the Monkey Island games myself, I was a big fan of a few other classic LucasArts adventures: Maniac Mansion and Labyrinth mostly. Still, I know many folks who’ve loved the Monkey Island games, and I hope this poor attempt at a wallpaper serves them. Download Monkey Island Wallpaper (1024×768) […]

I’m replaying Beyond Good & Evil for the (don’t laugh at me) fifth time with Brainy Gamer‘s Vintage Game Club. It’s true – I’ve played the game four times before, and purchased four copies of the game over the years. But about a year ago, when I made a list of my favorite 51 games […]

In a distant galaxy the civilization known as the Yars were attacked by the fierce […]

When I first had the idea for a Free Game Friday segment, the first two games that came to mind were Wasteland and Maniac Mansion Deluxe. I first played Maniac Mansion years ago on my Commodore 64. It was a wonderfully nonlinear adventure game with multiple solutions to its problems, excellent humor, and a lot […]

When the sun sets over Lungfishopolis, the white glare of CRT and LCD monitors can be seen shining out of every window. Over the years, our people have spent more hours in front of those monitors than some of us have spent sleeping. We look back fondly on those many hours and weeks spent absorbed […]

Today’s Free Game Friday special is a long-time favorite of mine. Taking the best aspects from that era’s Ultima and Bard’s Tale games, Wasteland improved upon them and created something unique. In the post-nuclear world of Wasteland, you create a party of desert rangers, assigning points to their pistol, SMG, assault rifle, and other various […]

For this week’s Free Game Friday, I look back to a post Michael Abbott made last week, wherein he talks about this remake of the original Quest For Glory II, which has been given a total overhaul and released for free. The sequel to Hero’s Quest, Quest for Glory II is an old school adventure […]

I’ve begun to notice recently that there are a lot of fairly good games that you can get online for free without stealing them. Personally, I prefer ninjas to pirates, so I’m going with the legally acquirable games. On this coming Sunday the 31st, Red Alert will be thirteen years old. Electronic Arts, to celebrate […]
