The folks at ecollegepc helped me out. I had to connect the 8 pin and the 2-6 pin. It works now.

Thanks, BET

Many thanks, flotsam (and Draclvr)

Thank you, Draclvr 👍

What a sad state of affairs 🥺

What I will write below is very much not set in stone. I often veer away from it depending on the game, developer, or just if I’m antsy to buy a game.

My pricing structure is something like this:

Point and Click Adventures with voice acting and regular graphics (not pixels) - $15.00 or less is what I try to go for.
Point and Click Adventures with Pixel graphics and no voices (where there is a lot of conversation) - $10.00 and under depending on the game.
Games that are probably going to make me sea sick - $10.00 and under – maybe closer to $5.00 these days but depends on the game.

Length only depends if every review I look at says the game is only an hour long and the cost is more than $3.00 let’s say. I take longer than most people to play games. My gaming time is usually about double what flotsam’s is.
A good length game used to be around 15+ hours I guess, but these days I’ll settle for as low as 8-10.

I don’t worry about “replayability” as I believe all games can be replayed. I don’t care about making different choices or reaching different endings. I prefer not to do either of those things actually. However, no matter how much I like a game, I usually don’t want to replay it for close to 10 years anyway it seems.

To answer Grefuss’s question, I want to say that I once paid around $60.00 for a used game, possibly Grim Fandango, but I honestly can’t be sure of this memory at all. I do know that I used to pay a lot more for games in the past than I care to pay now.

I'll agree with Mikael regarding "open-ended" games. I prefer to have an ending of some sort and if there is no ending and I'm aware of that, I will usually wait. I may end up getting the game anyway after a while but do it with that knowledge in my mind.

There was also a time when I bought a rack that holds 28 single CD cases and 2 double CD cases and I thought that I would NEVER have enough games to fill it. HA! What a joke that turned out to be!

Oh that smile makes me want to do a swamp dance

Way to close

Thanks, Koala!

Thanks Marian!

Thanks, Ana. I've played most of the Animation Arts games and enjoyed all of them...the latest one was Monolith. It will be fun to replay Tunguska again.

Way to slay Lady Kestrel!
