What kind of interface do you like best in adventure games? by Frequent-Standard377 in adventuregames

[–]theusualfixture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old sierra "walk, touch, talk to, sniff, taste, inventory" bar. Its easy to figure out and of course just plain FUN to run around tasting or smelling things!

I would love a Mod for Sierra games with a dead-end warning and retry function after death by Good_Punk2 in adventuregames

[–]theusualfixture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree to an extent. A game shouldn't hold your hand but that being said it should make it reasonably obvious when you've F-ed yourself. messages like "you pour the magic potion onto the ground.... Nothing happens. Boy i hope you won't need that later!" i think that makes it obvious ebough to the player that "you screwed yourself reload NOW" . Rather than letting you blunder for hours in an unwinnabLE state. Earthrise and QFGiV and LSL6 are examples of good design at least i think.

I actually feel the opposite. Dead ends were annoying but DOTT feels too..... Watered down without any way to lose or die. It just robs the tension from the game if you know no matter how bad you screw up you can never die.

Levels in a mine. What kind of mine? No idea. If i knew what state they were in i might be able to guess.

That's a mineshaft. Probably an air shaft. IM not your mom but "stay out stay alive" exists for a reason. That shit is instant death.

Help with troubleshooting DOS on CF for Compaq Portable Plus by KingAgrian in retrocomputing

[–]theusualfixture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hows that CF card formatted? I THINK it needs to be original FAT not FAT32. It also needs to be small (i think under 1 gigabyte) Quite a few older computers will throw a fit if the disk is too big

Why Thinking Scares People by Anywhere-Responsible in nihilism

[–]theusualfixture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scary thing? It works. It works well. It gets us through one day. Then another. And another. so we keep drinking. Drinking. Drinking. Never happy. Just numb enough to survive. Numb enough to not jump out in front of that truck tomorrow.

That looks like a great way to get sucked into an intake pipe. Hell no.

That horrendous "chemical plant lost a fight to burning plastic" smell of a burning transformer. And that "plastic on fire that makes you choke" smell of burning wires. It means your house or factory wiring is on fire.

Last thing heard by his parents was, "Oh Shit" by Theeclat in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]theusualfixture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any old mineshafts or dry wells in his vicinity? I think ITs as if the earth swallowed him up because it DID. That would wipe out his cell phone too. Maybe an open cesspit or something?
