Random Gaming Thoughts

Pretty sure this isn't the best place for it, but it's likely to see the most eyeballs. GOG now has a "GOG Connect" feature that lets you import select titles from your Steam library into GOG. I'm trying to get through right now, but it's not going well. I know there are a few titles that should pop up in my own library, and more are supposed to be becoming available in the future.

Cool. So basically, if you bought a game on Steam, and it's offered on GOG Connect, then you can get the DRM free version from GOG?

[Sarge]

That's my understanding, yes.

For a limited time; essentially it's a variety of deals with publishers where they are willing to let GOG give you a key for free if you already own it on Steam.

Happy days are here again: my Saturn mod chip came in, got it installed, and it's working like a charm. It looks absolutely terrible installed (soooo much electrical and duct tape and bent ribbon cable), but it's working like a charm. In fact, I'm hearing the audio from Mega Man X4's attract mode as we speak.

So here's one positive review of Rob Webb's Universal V3 modchip, at any rate. A little less simple than the old one I used, but even less to solder this time, and no trying to get the blue wire to that tiny pin on the mobo chip. (When I got that old one, there was no A-B trick.)

[Fragems]

Atari classics getting a physical release on a current gen system with online support . I swear the recent wave of budget titles with physical releases is blowing me away.



All are $19.99 or $15.99 w/ Prime Discount
Atari Flashback Classics: Volume 1 (PS4)
Atari Flashback Classics: Volume 2 (PS4)
Atari Flashback Classics: Volume 1 (XB1)
Atari Flashback Classics: Volume 2 (XB1)

On another note I didn't realize that Atari had made a remake of Haunted House for the Wii until I bumped into it yesterday at gamestop for $1.79 .

Oh, that's actually quite cool. Even if Atari games are a bit older than I usually like to play, I love it that stuff like that exists. I'll probably snag those somewhere down the line!

[Fragems]

Most of the atari games don't really hold up to well because most really require multiple players. If they manage to get a smooth online setup going for these collections it will be freaking amazing went ahead and preordered both can't wait till october .

They really couldn't fit it all in one volume? Haha.

Those Atari compilations look awesome. Too bad I lack a current gen system to play them (actually, I'll be just fine as I likely have all those games in cartridge form. )

Remember this shit?
