when i was kid i played a game and cant remember what was its name. it was first person adventure lets say and you had several wepons and one of them was like a stic you could throw some spels with. i know its not much but please give me something to start with

I'm not sure but it may be Hexen? It was developed by ID Software in the early 1990s. Look it up on Youtube, it may help (note that you can select different classes with different weapons).

I was wondering the same thing about making it work on windows vista. I have this and I used to play it a long time ago, but i tried to load it my moms' laptop with vista and it wouldnt work. is there any way to get around it?

[evilguy0]

I replied to your e-mail (if that was you).

[DIwasaki1]

how do u get the voices to work?

[evilguy0]

You may have the floppy disk version. That version has no voices apart from the introduction.

Is this a good game to play stoned?

when i was little i played some DOS game im not sure what it was called but the shortcut on my computer was simply called "Scuba", it was an underwater adventure and i LOVED it, i can't find anything like it other than "Diver Dan" which is not the same game, can someone help me out?

I remember when i was a kid lucasarts released a package with Sam and Max, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island 1 +2 and demos of Monkey Iisland 3 and Grim Fandango... probably to this day still some of the greatest games i've ever played

[MtWaverlyProductions]

I found a copy of this at our local post-office once!

[casperado666]

this was one of the funniest adventures i've played, along with day of tentacle

One of the best games out there to this day. Set ScummVM to Windows MIDI if you're on a PC, to get MIDI emulation, instead of the bleeps. The soundtrack is wonderful, melodious, live, vivid, jazzy and altogether fantastic. The dialogue and voice acting is superb (with the exception of the line "I'm still trying to figure out where I am, Sam.", but that's just something infinitesimal). And, of course, spectacular animation. A game with style. Anyone with a brain should be able to enjoy it.

@frigginjoe also known as shadow of memories. WONDEFUL game indeed!

[frigginjoe]

Yes you could hug me, but not for more than maybe 3 seconds.

BTW Shadow of Destiny was pretty damned cool on PS2.

[DeHomunculus]

@frigginjoe i could hug you, in case i could! thanks a lot!
