Bitch, please.

I don't play those silly adventbore games.
I would take 5 hrs of quality platforman / exploran over 5 minutes of staring at your inventory and wondering which combination of "everything" on "everything" I yet had not try.

Blasphemer.

Also I'd love to LP the sequel as well. Maybe I'll get around to it at some unspecified future date.

Somebody should LP Spellcasting or Leather goddesses of Phobos. Those games feature the only well-written romances in video games, ever.

Still, Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2 would be much more fitting for an codex LP.

This was a great Let's Play. Hopefully the sequel will be LP'd at some point. In case anyone is interested, I recorded some of the MT32 version of the soundtrack emulated in DosBox (captured with an external recorder).

*** See the Post Below ***

The timing is a little bit off for whatever reason, but it's interesting to hear the difference. Hopefully I can get around to recording the rest of the MT32 ost.

:necro:

So I kinda forgot about this thread. But I started reading the first Gateway novel, and I remembered it. I'm on chapter 14 of the novel, and it's great so far. Pohl's writing style isn't spectacular, but both his characterization of Robinette Broadhead and the universe he created are. It's kind of funny that getting the nerve to fly off in a hechee ship in the game is so ho-hum, while it was a huge deal for Robinette in the novel, since so many ships never came back, and of those that did a lot of the people were dead or diseased and whatnot.

Anyway, I'm in the process of recording the OST again:













I'll let you know when it's all finished, updating this post in the meantime. I wish the embedded soundcloud players weren't so big.
