I followed your example and also had a civilised gook game in "very hard" HPM (haven't played Vicky 2 in a while). We can compare whose Korea is best. Here is my final Korea. It is an absolute monarchy, but the socialist nobles implemented healthcare and pension reforms. I abstained from any war. Emigration is banned. The focus is mainly industry, but in retrospect I should have done more to build up the army for the points. I became a great power far too late. There have been some rebellions, first from traditionalists and then from socialists, but nothing very serious. It was sad to see that the fascists were too weak, just two fascist charities in the whole game.

I did manage to beat Japan in terms of population. Japan has 60.7M to my 59.4M on paper, but a few million of those are just Papuan colonials. Meanwhile, my Korea is 100% Korean. The population is fairly evenly spread. Hanseong has 1.7M, Pyongyang 1.24M, Pohang 1.15M, Kwangju 1.1M, Chonchon 1.0M, etc. For comparison, Tokyo only has 1.43M, despite the insane life rating given to it by HPM. Despite only having 4 regions, Korea is 3rd greatest producer of iron, 3rd producer of steel, 4th in machine parts, 5th in glass, 4th in luxury clothes, 3rd in tea, 3rd in phones, 2nd in artillery, and 3rd in small arms, 1st in tanks, 2nd in steamers.

Internationally, the weirdest country is Peru, which ate up a lot of migration. Lima ended up being the new New York with a whopping 2.3M people. London has 2.9M, Paris 1.15M.

Overall, it looked like I was missing something. I recall having a more developed industry in a previous game.

Used to play this one a long time ago and got the sudden urge to replay it.
I have a real soft spot for that fantasy genre that includes elven woman in skimpy clothing. And the game visuals are still surprisingly nice.
The hack'n'slash gameplay isn't super exciting here, unfortunately. And there is way too much backtracking for my tastes. Lost my urge to replay it.

After it didn't work out with Sacred 2 i decided to try another FPS classic.

Just like it's with Quake, it's impressive just how well the original Doom holds up gameplaywise. No wonder people are still making mods/wads/whatnot for them.
I was thinking about using either crispy doom or GZdoom as a sourceport, decided to settle for crispy.

Sacred 1 was way better than this.

I hope the remakes capture the noir detective story atmosphere as well as the original. The game holds up quite well thanks to the great design overall. Its a perfect showcase how to tell a straightforward story. No fucking retarded audio logs all the time or codex entries of random npcs everywhere.

Older games and high refresh rate monitors, a match made in heaven:
*Older 3D games
I bought a 144hz monitor last year which is also the time I began to explore DOS games. Finding anything that supports such a high refresh rate and does not break game physics is quite the undertaking. Oh well at least I got Doom.

The original (non-source-port) version of Doom has a frame rate limit of 35.

But is playing older games which don't have their speed tied to CPU cycles a problem on those high-refresh-rate monitors?
