PC Is anyone playing another game of the side?

[Vaeliorin]

Is it wrong to admit that 7DTD is my side game?

 

[Space4Ace]

I use to switch between 7 days, minecraft, and ark a lot long ago. I added a few others like valheim and subnautica (1 and 2) but lately just been going from a lot of 7 days to maybe a solitaire game or just nothing at all for a few days at a time.

Small correction for Subnautica (1 and 2):
Subnautica Below Zero is not Subnautica 2. Subnautica 2 is the one being released later this year.

I still have a few of my games from long ago on floppies in the oringinal boxes. Older stuff like King's Quest, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, etc.
The graphics on those were way ahead of when we use to play pong.
I picked up some of them again on steam. I think I have the whole set of LSL.

Pong (arcade) is 1972 and home version 1975. The first Leisure Suit Larry game is 1987 so of course it was "way ahead of when we use to play pong".

I've been trying to solo my way through Enshrouded, but, Lord God, the new high tiers are so far out of my league as a gameplayer,

Shroud arrows are your friend, and meteor dash can help with the hit and run melee.
The only thing kind of bugging me now is my village of NPC's they get underfoot
and I had to reset the wander distance because I couldn't find them in the compound.

I remember seeing a demo of Kings Quest on a DOS PC at Sears and I was jealous of PC gamers at the time. I used to go into Software Etc. and see 2 large walls of PC DOS games and then they had a small shelf for the Amiga and even smaller one for the Atari ST. Its just that the Amiga was not near as mainstream as the PC was back then. People that could afford to buy a $3000.00 PC clone would usually buy a PC clone, I guess. I did play Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on the Amiga and I was really terrible, and I am sure I would have been terrible at Sierra adventure games too.

To be honest, the point and click adventure genre was not really my thing so when I finally got and DOS PC, I mainly stuck to RPGs. Of course that was until I played doom, as we Gen X guys all have I am sure. Although the FPS that made me a serious FPS gamer was Half Life. Still though, my fondest memories of gaming was when I played my fist RPG games, Wasteland, Ultima III and Might and Magic: Secret of the Inner Sanctum on my first PC, the C64.

I think I have turned into one of those old guys that say things like: "Oh yeah, I remember the good old days of gaming, way back in the late 80s, you young guys just don't know about those old good ole days". I never thought I would sound like that.

I never had a pc clone for a long time after computers started to become more popular.
I had seen the CoCo I that a friend had and that started me down this rabbit hole. I started off with the Coco II from Radio Shack. Worked my way up to the CoCo III.
I think a some of my peers had went to the Commodore 64.
Started with no storage, then to tape drive, to floppies then to finally the External HD.
I still have a bunch of floppies (both originals in cases and a box full of ones I had saved myself. I think one box has over 600 disks just tossed in it lol.
I also have a few years copies of "Rainbow" magazines packed away in the attic. Was where I got a few of my programs to type in and later where I got my shareware disks from.
I don't know if I would call the old days good but there wasn't any such thing as a computer back then so we were all "equal

Been doing silent service 2 for a couple of months now.

I usually get bored of other games pretty quickly I’ll play something for a few hours, get tired of it, and then go back to 7 Days. Otherwise, I just play ARAMs in League of Legends when I’m not playing 7 Days. Unfortunately, every game has its flaws, because none of them are 7 Days to Die it’s hard to replace that game.

I've been playing Stranded Alien Dawn lately.

If you knew that then why not write Subnautica Below Zero instead of calling it Subnautica 2.

About the Pong comment: It would be like me saying: I was on a plane yesterday and we sure have advanced a lot since the Wright brothers first flight... Geez!
15 years from Pong to Leisure Suit Larry so yes, we did advance... As with everything else.

I have Silent Hunter 3 with a bunch of expansions and also Silent Hunter 4 on my drive, but I have yet to try them. I did play Wolfpack on PC DOS in around 97 or something, but as usual I kind of ****ed at it. I am not terribly good at strategy and simulation games.

Horrorish I suppose but currently the outlast trials.

Clive Barker's Undying,

Such a great game, one of my faves!

It is just the way I wanted to say 1st one and 2nd one.
And yes the pong comment would be the same as what you said. doesn't make it any less true.
Man, what did I do that put the bug up your ■■■.

Sorry, just wanted to correct you and make fun of the fact that everything evolves with times, so I was not sure why you even posted that.
But it's all good; sorry if it got you upset.
I guess I should always add " " at the end of my messages when I'm joking.

SS2 is pc dos...simple graphics as it gets, but the strat and cat and mouse play are still awesome. SH3 is the next best thing and for its time the graphics are primo.

If you get your hands on Silent Hunter 3, I can probably give you the 3 expansion packs I have. The developer has been dead since the 2000s so I consider them abandonedware. PM me if your interested.

Seawolves I
Seawolves II
U-Boat - Battle in the Mediterranean

They were from a German developer that was completely unknown back in the day when they offered digital downloads of them via PayPal. They did look cool though and were high quality expansion packs. I tried them out on a Silent Hunter III install over a decade ago and they did work too. They also came with an English PDF manual as well. A lot of German developers made expansions for IL 2 Sturmovik as well back in the 2000s. I have about 12 of them from different developers, some were retail boxed expansions, but most were digital download, like the old IGN Direct 2 Drive (the ancient 2000s one). You could never find them now either.

I still have a copy of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter Direct 2 Drive download on my PC drive. However I really do not think it would work if I tried to install it as there would be no way to activate online, now that Direct 2 Drive has been dead for over a decade.

Here is a DVD case cover added with their download:

EDIT: I think I just had another TMI moment. Sorry to the mods.
