As my first foray into GOG (Good Old Games) I've got "Baldur's Gate" from them. Their recent misguided marketing stunt apart I'm pretty impressed by what they offer. I'm now happily replaying this old favourite which will keep me busy for a while!

That's good to hear Draclvr - life in the golden oldies yet!

Did you get those games from GOG? There's so many classic games I have yet to play!

I've just started playing the first Avernum game from Spiderweb Software. And a bit of a shock to the system as I hadn't expected so many technological differences to the most recent Avernum game. No path-finding, blocky graphics, more cumbersome user interface for starters. Which doesn't make it a ...

Good stuff Jude - thanks for posting the links! Glad to see that they got Fallout in the end!

Apple themselves have dropped PowerPC support from Snow Leopard, which makes it hard for application developers to continue supporting it.

See http://www.basiliskgames.com/forums/vie ... f=7&t=3004. This is one I'm looking forward to!

How long does it take you to play RPGs and the like Draclvr?

And over four months later I've finished "Avernum 6"! Value for money, and done in time before the second Eschalon game comes out.

I enjoyed playing it, good variety in the battles and situations. Had better play some Adventure games to keep my hand in there!

Thanks GL - yes there are pictures of Tabitha on my website. My wife Virginia has had training in pill-popping from a vet, and got with a pill-popping device. Administering the pills to the patient is no longer high melodrama. And the steroids seem to be working. (Thanks Draclvr for the heads up abo...

The kitty's on steroids to build up her weight back up - Machinarium is very much on the list.
