[Solid State Soul ( SSS )]

Prince of Persia 2008

Bingo
Its truly an amazing game, its has one of the best cell shaded graphics of PS3 360 era games, it aged really well and its still a beautiful game today

 

[Vario]

dunno why but it makes me think of the longest journey, it came out in norway in 1999, rest of world in 2000.

Nope, but I'll give you a few hints, it involves open city gameplay and David Bowie and the genre is cyberpunkish. The game was massively ambitious but the results were mixed.

It's funny that people associate gaming with kids but the majority are actually adults. Twice I have run across people on gaming forums that were in their 70s and had been gaming for decades. Never got burnt out on gaming. The trick (for me) is to never force myself to finish a game when I'm not in the mood for it. I put some aside and go back later to finish them. In some rare cases I never go back and finish them.

49 here and I'm the same, (with the trick) I may play 3 games at once, switching to one after tiring of the other then, switch back, etc.

I played this one for a few years back in 1995-96. It was completely moddable. MSN Gaming Zone was the meeting place. I'm still friends and communicate with a handful of people I met online while playing this game. (which is the point of it all for me)

Huh, nice topic and lots of replies already. 'Not that active nowadays so just checked this'

49 here and I'm the same, (with the trick) I may play 3 games at once, switching to one after tiring of the other then, switch back, etc.

I'm only 31 '32 in ~2 months' and I already get such comments irl that I'm too old for gaming and that its childish and why I spend so much money on my PC and games.
Idk whats the problem with that, its a hobby/escape like any other and compared to some I don't even spend that much. 'I can't even if I wanted to cause personal budget limitations'

I also try to play 2 games at most and finish them then move to something else and the most important part is to never force myself to play something I don't like.
General rule is that if a game annoys me more than the fun it gives me then I nope the hell out of it and play something else.

Tip - copy/paste the pic, that way you don't have to rename it. Some either reveal the title, or have to rename it.

What about this one? It was quite realistic for its time.

Video gaming is no longer a hobby exclusively enjoyed by the young. Age breakdown of video game players in the United States in 2020 Under 18 years 21%
18 to 34 years 38%
34 to 54 years 26%
55 to 64 years 9%

You're not too old for gaming.

It's just a stereotype that most gamers are kids.

Star Wars: Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, which came out -97. Don't forget the great expansion, Mysteries of the Sith!

Odd on the 97, I have a notebook in which I have a copious amount of notes on extracting the .cog files from the executable of the game and manipulating these files with 1996 dates on them.

I did a lot of drinking back then while staying up past daylight------ Edit .cog file, save, enter the game test, (Take a drink if it failed) leave the game, edit .cog file, re-enter the game, test, (take a drink if it was successful) Rinse and repeat.

I do remember MOTS!

 

[Athlonite]

MDK from 1997. Quite a fun game from what I recall even though its weird all over.

Correct and well yeah it was a bit of a weird game it was still very good to play specially with the wonky AF camera angles it could get upto while playing

The files were created in 1996 maybe?

 

[xrobwx71]

Then the game would have to have been released in 96 contrary to the Wiki page. Curious.

The only console I ever owned . Atari 2600 in 1980. The joystick had 1 button but that's all you really needed back then.
Cartridges had 4 KB of ROM.

No I meant the files may have been created before release. By the devs.

I see you are a man of class. So I presume you had Custers Revenge then.

I played Combat on it.

Nope never had that one. The ones that I can recall having were Space Invaders, Asteroids, Breakout, Centipede, Pole position and Pong (It came free with the package that I bought).
