Old School Games

[mercscilla]

I've recently went through some stuff and found three over ten-years-old computer games. \o/

The first is Pharaoh, one of those isometric city-building games. It was my very first pc game back in 1999 and I remember loving playing it. All those tiny people running around and trying to please me...well, until I forgot to throw parties and the gods

Zach loves Arcanum. I haven't really played it yet myself. :)
Haven't heard of the others.

Are you on Steam?

It's addictive and even if you haven't played it for a while, you fall right back into it the moment you start again. xD

Are you on Steam?
YES. I love anything Steampunk, really anything. Not only online but in real-life too. :)

That's what he's told me too. :)

I haven't really looked into steampunk nearly enough. "Roil" by Trent Jamieson is pretty awesome, though!

Also, this is me on Steam.

I found my steampunk books and games mostly by searching for a very long time. :D At least Goodreads offers a genre-search and so I found more steampunk books there than anywhere else. ^^

AH-HA! I had an account there once, early on, then my computer died and with it that account. I really need to make a new one. So far I'm only lurking. xD

Goodreads is amazing for that kind of thing, yeah.

XD
Add me if/when you make a new account!

It truly is. Sometimes I spend hours there looking for new books to add to my list. :D

I WILL! First thing. :)

[xfirefly9x]

Me too. I don't wanna imagine how many books I could've read in the time I go searching for new ones on goodreads. :P

Time is a fickle thing and you never have enough when you really need it. Other times it's like time isn't passing at all and you're stuck at work for what feels like days. *headdesk*

We need to be able read and look for new books at the same time! YES!

[xfirefly9x]

Oh, definitely. Always one or the other.

YES. So much.
