Ever wonder what an unknown person from the 90's thought about his games?

I found a bunch of old floppies at my local dump - Doom, Wolf3d, sim city 2k, and much more - and in the sim city classic box there was this piece of paper.

It's pretty neat! A real blast from the past.

that's some pretty handwriting

that game was insanely addictive. Never figured out how to beat the asshole AI though.

He had pretty good taste, I have to say.

Right now I have the flying toasters screensaver on my XP machine - thanks to After Dark

Why 2 copies of Doom2 though?

Oh, and doom1 is version 1.2 - so there is no secret switch at the beginning of e1m1, among other things.

This is most of it....

My thoughts exactly.

>Goodbye Galaxy - a Commander Keen game

I like that he assumed the reader would know all about CK on sight.

Saw a video game website put out a "Top 10 Doom 4 Easter Eggs" list and they thought the Keen reference was John Romero's head. "No clue about the football helmet, but it's probably an office injoke".

What the hell - are those REGISTERED versions? lol

I thought they were a fantasy.

Even a registered version of the Hugo games? This guy is serious business.

>eight floppies to play DOOM II
Didn't this shit get inconvenient?
>>
>>3286979
8 floppies to install Doom II. You play it from the harddisk
>>
It's kind of funny how nonchalant he is about doom. Although he was probably also playing the shit out of it.

Should have left them in the dump kid.

What's so funny about it?

It was cool but didn't blow my mind or anything.

Natural step from Wolf3D/Nightmare. Quake, now that was impressive.

Only 4.

There are two sets of them

I can't count apparently
>>
>>3287012
Nah, Quake is too DND-ish for me. Too much of that faggoty geeky "mystical" stuff. DOOM was just balls to the wall insane madness, and fast action, shooting the Fuck out of demons brutally with blood everywhere. The key cards made it a comfy experience as well
>>
If you found it at the dump, it probably means they were clearing out his stuff after he died.

Just saying.

I'm actually glad that cursive writing is dead.

That's clearly a woman's handwriting.

as you happen to be an expert on the field of fixed genders, please enlighten us why this is "a woman's handwriting".

What does this mean?
>>
>>3286330
Back then people had still been raised learning to write cursive. Nowadays it just looks like girl writing.
>>
>>3286326
I played Hugo III back then, thought it was very good too.
>>
>>3289138
nah
>>
>>3289320
Hugo 2 was the good one. Even 1 was better than 3.
>>
>>3288802
DOOM is pretty sluggish compared to Quake, though.

>>3286326

I thought I was the only one.
>>
>>3289340
What, writing them correctly? Of course not.
>>
Have Americans really stopped writing properly? Do you all write in print now?

In the very rare case where they actually put a physical pen to a piece of paper? Yes.

I don't know, intuition?

Looks like a woman in her thirties, a parent, possibly a little overbearing. Most likely a single mother (divorced), with a child about 10 years old.

None of that stuff is probably true, but it's what my instincts tell me.
>>
>>3289652
Well, allow me to be frank with you, buddy.

Your intuition is pure shit.

What did she mean by this?

Cursive is a pain in the ass to read because everyone has their own style

Star Trek Rites had 11. This was in 1992 when the average hard drive was 150mb. Rites took up 12 of that

What a stupid tripfag.
Gtfo of this thread until you can provide a useful tidbit. Or better yet kill yourself in a flaming dumpster tranny.

We wanna talk about the games you wanna talk about the handwriting.
