[RuySan]

[DarkUnderlord]

Am I supposed to be able to read that?

 

[sparrowtm]

Poo poo dreams? :shock:

 

[Licaon_Kter]

it's between ROACH HOTEL and POO POO DREAMS ????
so ROACH HOTEL has, what, 3 stars, and POO POO DREAMS 5, right? also it's a tie with ESCAPE 2, OBlivion has an escape too(2 :D) so thats correct...

June 1993... righhhhhttttttt instant clasic. Whats a Telescan 1200? amiga/c64/?

 

[Naked_Lunch]

Not funny.

 

[Drain]

Hmm... "Not 1200 compatible". Indeed you will have a hard time trying to run Oblivion on something like PIII-1200

 

[LlamaGod]

this game ran like shit until I edited the ini

Was the 1200 Commodore's last ditch effort when they started falling behind the curve? Or was that the 4000? Fucked if I know, but we had a 500 that was fucking tops for many years.

Hell yeah!

Could well be. I had a 1200 for a while - and you have to remember this is when PC gaming was becoming more popular, and PC's becoming more accepted as home computers. The 1200 still had a shitty DS/DD 3.5" floppy (not even HD if I remember rightly), and no hard drive as standard. The hard drive you could get was overpriced for what it was as well. Because a hard drive wasn't standard, games were often designed to run from floppies - an absolute nightmare or any reasonably involving game because of all the disc changes.

here´s a pretty critical review of oblivion

[Section8]

have two major complaints. The first is the enormous collection of little things that ruin the game experience—not bugs, but quirks and idiosyncrasies; design decisions so half-assed that they have no right being in a game this good. More on those in a minute.

The second is that no matter how hard I tried, I never felt like I was part of the world of Oblivion. I could not immerse. It felt not like a living place but like a disconnected series of questlets. And that's a serious problem, but it's also a very subjective one.

Fat chicks are fucking awesome.

Are you that desperate?
