I saw something on this not too long ago. It looks amazing... lets hope Microsoft doesn't shut it down.

had my eye on the game and very interested how it pans out. i think bethesda are a little more tolerant when it comes to this stuff. I mean, they do own Doom series and all. Plus its free. that said, i'm not entirely sure if it will go up on their bethesda doom site. But it would be awesome to ride it out and see how far it takes us.

It looks like the full game

My first computer

Thats how I saw it but well, it took cartridges and connected to a TV so parents saw it as a TV game

We had asteroids.

its cpu ran at 0.895 mhz
It only had 8 colours it could use on screen, and only 4 of them at one time maximum.
it used a tv as a monitor and a tape deck as storage.

We have come a long way since then. Remembering where I started is why I don't expect miracles now.

Not sure I would have waited, just buying an Nintendo would have been easier choice.

I had this long ago, I think it was its tank movement system that stopped me playing it. Still does.

I think a puzzle stopped me, but I defintiely want to try it again. I liked the humor and how it looked. Quite unique style, simila to Discworld Noir when I think about it.

I bought the remastered version on Play station and still didn't get very far into it

I have read all the Discworld books but I don't think I played the game. Shame its not on Steam or GOG.
I would have if I had known it existed, came out in June 1999, a few months before I got my first PC.
cover art on game same guy who did all the books

I should read them again. Thinking about author made me sad for a long time, he died in 2015. I really didn't want to read his last book.

Ah grim fandango, a fantastic lucas Arts adventure game. I loved playing it. had a few areas that were dull like the prettified forest and i wished we saw more of the city areas. it was slick, clever and different without compromising the Lucas arts quality.

I think there were a few bugs in the game that prevented me from progessing but otherwise, fantastic game.

I would recommend taking a look at https://www.retro-exo.com/win9x.html from time to time since the team will release future games and most likely Discworld Noir will be one of them. It's kind of crazy just how easy you can boot up those games and play like you never left the 90's.
