Ever wonder what an unknown person from the 90's thought about his games?
I found a bunch of old floppies at my local dump - Doom, Wolf3d, sim city 2k, and much more - and in the sim city classic box there was this piece of paper.
It's pretty neat! A real blast from the past.
that's some pretty handwriting

>hexxagon
that game was insanely addictive. Never figured out how to beat the asshole AI though.
He had pretty good taste, I have to say.
Right now I have the flying toasters screensaver on my XP machine - thanks to After Dark
Why 2 copies of Doom2 though?
Oh, and doom1 is version 1.2 - so there is no secret switch at the beginning of e1m1, among other things.
This is most of it....

Opinion discarded

My thoughts exactly.
>Goodbye Galaxy - a Commander Keen game
I like that he assumed the reader would know all about CK on sight.
Saw a video game website put out a "Top 10 Doom 4 Easter Eggs" list and they thought the Keen reference was John Romero's head. "No clue about the football helmet, but it's probably an office injoke".

>eight floppies to play DOOM II
Didn't this shit get inconvenient?
>>3286979
8 floppies to install Doom II. You play it from the harddisk
It's kind of funny how nonchalant he is about doom. Although he was probably also playing the shit out of it.

>The retail floppy disk version of Windows 95 came on 13 DMF formatted floppy disks, while OSR 2.1 doubled the floppy count to 26
>>3286989
>>3286326
Should have left them in the dump kid.
What's so funny about it?
It was cool but didn't blow my mind or anything.
Natural step from Wolf3D/Nightmare. Quake, now that was impressive.
>>3286979
Only 4.
There are two sets of them
>>3287113
*5
I can't count apparently
>>3287012
Nah, Quake is too DND-ish for me. Too much of that faggoty geeky "mystical" stuff. DOOM was just balls to the wall insane madness, and fast action, shooting the Fuck out of demons brutally with blood everywhere. The key cards made it a comfy experience as well
If you found it at the dump, it probably means they were clearing out his stuff after he died.
Just saying.
>>3286326
I'm actually glad that cursive writing is dead.
>>3289105
writing is pretty dead in general
>>3288823
>his
That's clearly a woman's handwriting.
>>3289138
as you happen to be an expert on the field of fixed genders, please enlighten us why this is "a woman's handwriting".
>>3288802
>The key cards made it a comfy experience as well
What does this mean?
>>3286330
Back then people had still been raised learning to write cursive. Nowadays it just looks like girl writing.
>>3286326
I played Hugo III back then, thought it was very good too.
>>3289138
nah
>>3289320
Hugo 2 was the good one. Even 1 was better than 3.
>>3288802
DOOM is pretty sluggish compared to Quake, though.
>>3286326
>those 'z's
I thought I was the only one.
>>3289340
What, writing them correctly? Of course not.
Have Americans really stopped writing properly? Do you all write in print now?
>>3286326
>Doom

>also addictive
kek
>>3289353
In the very rare case where they actually put a physical pen to a piece of paper? Yes.
>>3289373
>pen
>paper
>>3289353
i don't think they teach cursive at all anymore and kids now call it "script"
>>3289281
I don't know, intuition?
Looks like a woman in her thirties, a parent, possibly a little overbearing. Most likely a single mother (divorced), with a child about 10 years old.
None of that stuff is probably true, but it's what my instincts tell me.
>>3289652
Well, allow me to be frank with you, buddy.
Your intuition is pure shit.
>Jill of the Jungle - another Hugo game
What did she mean by this?
>>3289451
Cursive is a pain in the ass to read because everyone has their own style
>>3286979
>>3286980
Star Trek Rites had 11. This was in 1992 when the average hard drive was 150mb. Rites took up 12 of that
damn.. it was a good game though
>>3286343
>after dark
holy shit can you get me a copy of those files? i havent seen that since my windows 3.1 machine
>>3290225
Is it not on archive.org?
I suppose I could make a copy and share it.l.l
>>3289138
What a stupid tripfag.
Gtfo of this thread until you can provide a useful tidbit. Or better yet kill yourself in a flaming dumpster tranny.
We wanna talk about the games you wanna talk about the handwriting.
>>3286965
>>3290225

>>3291852
