>We have Fallout at home
Yeah it's a good game.
>>12912781I got to a point halfway through where all my characters had to cross a sewer or something and they all drowned. Good game but fuck redoing all that.
>Baldur's Gate? No worries; we've already got something right here:
>>12912781>ea>electronic artists>packages games like vinyl records because they're electronic ... artistsDamn, EA used to be kino.
>>12912781How reliable are those 5" floppies like 50 years on? Do most of them made by reputable companies back in the day and stored appropriately still read/write?
>>12913108That was back when Trip Hawkins was still running the company before he left to create the 3DO
>>12913114>How reliable are those 5" floppies like 50 years on?if stored correctly they're usually fine. i have c64 disks from '86 that still read fine.
>>12913108>Damn, EA used to be kino.yeah. now they're shit.
>>12913198Commodore 1541 is an especially robust drive, you can open it up and flip the head back and shine it like a shoe. Anything inside that goes bad is easily fixed and the drives are still cheap. Disks are getting pricier now though. But they are still available in new and unopened boxes for not too much. >>12913201EA turned evil when they got rid of the platonic solids logo and switched to the EA logo.
Currently playing the remake, almost finished 20 hours in. Some things are really fucking obtuse (and the visibility of interactable trash piles and the like is vastly worse than the original it seem like) and by god there's so much fucking combat. With minor grinding included my party has 2500 kills already.
Just say your mom couldn't cook bro
>>12913201nah they're still alright, ea hate was always forced tranny whining
>>12913220Moron
>>12913202>Commodore 1541 is an especially robust drivewas. second version of it sure was. 1541-ii. easy to fix, easy to maintain and still work 40+ years later>but they are still available in new and unopened boxes for not too much.yeah. unused old stock is getting ridiculously hard/impossible to find. i'm thankful i have quite a few blank disks in storage. anyone making a new game for c64 these days that want a physical copy option to sell are best to go to cartridge. anyone can make them.>EA turned evil when they got rid of the platonic solids logoahhh fond memories. you're right.
>>12913120Damn, what drove Hawkins to commit suicide?
>>12914530trip was wealthy at this time and thought 3do would be another success story like EA. throughout this entire period he was avoiding taxes on huge amounts of shares he was selling off and spending insane amounts of money he really didn't have in his business and personal life. if he saved at least a small portion of his original ea stock he'd be a billionaire but he went full retard with the money and irs spent years fucking him in the ass.
>>12912781Wasn't this one of the inspirations behind Fallout though?
>>12915016You could say that. They were made by the same company.
>>12915016>>12916215just embarrassing
>>12913108What could have been...
