Re: A thought about the modern world (and why it's strange)

"And who are you to tell me how I should dress?..." ...is the answer you would get if you asked any of these people. Look at pictures of air travel back in the 1930s and 1940s. Today, people look like they're waiting to board a bus (no offense to bus riders). They have no respect for them...

Re: Possible end to SHP, Another Year

Agreed. I'm sorry to hear about your medical bills and your need for a new roof, Collector. But I'm glad that SHP will be around for a little longer. I tried to go to the front page and donate by PayPal, but the page would not load. :( (This is https://www.sierrahelp.com/index.html ... it told me: ...

Just wondering: what is a RAD file?
As a child of the '80s, that's an easy one:

A RAD file is a computer file that's both awesomely bodacious and totally tubular.

I'm certain Tawmis would agree.

Re: What are you playing now?

I'm playing "find your missing favourites" after Windows made an update in Edge that threw away all of them just like that - and none of their info on the site works as that only applies to Win 11, not Win 10. Aren't your IE / Edge favorites still found on your main drive (likley C:) unde...

Re: Laura Bow 3 (was Laura Bow and the Mechanical Codex)

Perhaps it comes down to... Hero-U has QFG references in it. While it's set in the same "world," are there enough references that the average player would believe it's a de facto QFG game? If all of the QFG references were removed, would it affect the Hero-U game in any meaningful way, or ...

Re: Let's Play Sierra - er, FunCom - Games - The Longest Journey

I can see why they called this "The Longest Journey". It wouldn't feel so long if we could save our place in the video (like we can in the game), come up for air and a meal, and come back later. :| You could always right click on the video in YouTube page (not the embedded version found h...

Re: Happy Easter.

That's fine. I'm not looking for cute and/or fluffy, but I just don't enjoy horror. Let's just say it fits into the "survival of the fittest / circle of life" genre and doesn't shy away from graphic violence... I think we saw it in elementary or middle school... Yep, it was definitely a d...

Yeah, there's zero problems about Necro-posting like this. :) Especially if it's relevant and not just a post that says, "I agree" from 2011. :D

Re: Two Guys Are Back! SPACEVENTURE!

I'm glad that they've released the final version. I've been holding off on playing this until it was "done". I'll probably get started on it in the coming days. You will enjoy it, I am sure of it. :) Same here. Avoided until it was ready for prime time. Looking forward to playing it! (And...

Re: Let's Play Torin's Passage! (Please help?)

This was likely the original (or slightly updated) design document, but Al freely admits that later on he simply made change to the game and never updated the document to reflect said changes... From that same web page: At some point during the development process, I stopped updating the design docu...
