Wait. TRIFID is a real word?

hahaha, that is a reaaaaaally obscure environmental acronym that i use every day at my work...wonder if somehow it got in the dictionary because of that?

i got jipped

discogs says you have the 72 US edition...
actually now that i think about it, my copy doesn't have any text on the cover. I must have linked the CD art.

by bizarre coincidence i have played 'islands' at least four times this week

albert r broccoli i see your 12 letters and raise you

unfortunately even after that i didn't hit the top ten at the end. 7th in another game is the best i've done so far.

vv dope imho

Coolness undermined by the fact you couldn't resist putting your own name in there too.

Also took the opportunity to URINATE and mark my territory.

Nice to meet you, Dona F. Ham

damn everyone's doing long words but i'm ashamed to show my 12 letter shootarounds now that ledge has 14 letter words. did not get anywhere near top10 though.

i'm not even close to 12 letters! i kinda gave up actually

can someone call my cell when Karateka is released, thanks

Mrs. Broccoli showed me that some Qatqi levels have crazy tunnels if you venture into a rogue corner. I guess I've always tried to stay in the middle of the "road" so to speak, pretty crazy stuff if you venture out a bit.

it does! but sadly the required in-room nerd factor seems to high to realistically attain in order to play a game

ne1 grab baldur's gate?

there's an iPhone Baldur's Gate? waht?

ipad version got released today or yesterday

Shooter fans should definitely check out Raiden Legacy for solid ports of Raiden, Fighters, 2 & Jet. Touch controls work fine. Five dollar price point is good compared to the Cave ports. Also the games are more straight forward, so maybe better suited to iOS? Just remember to change the default screen setting from full screen to original, so you don't have to put your finger over the action.

damn that's impressive

I'm terrible at these games -- I always get excited to see I'm in sane distance of best in the county or etc. and then invariably I'm below the 50% mark worldwide.

*respect knuckles 2 broc*, think i'm burning out on it though, the amount of letter juggling and backtracking you have to do to get anything like that.

I liked Helsing's Fire and Amazing Breaker and Trainyard; can anyone recommend some more puzzle jams for me?

The three games I am playing right now: Spellwood, Girls Love Robots, Interlocked

I'm playing Baldur's Gate on iPad. The team could have done a bit more work to make the interface appropriate for touch controls, but once you know what you're doing it's fine.

I never played BG when it came out, but I'm finding this 15 year-old RPG really, really entertaining. It's funny, the fights are deadly dangerous, and the statistics/inventory management aspect is suitably autistic. In Skyrim I can zoom in and rotate on any piece of treasure I find, but strangely I enjoy dumb pixelated swords in BG just as much.

magic is impressive, but now, minsc leads! swords for everyone!

Ticket to Ride for iPad is only $1.99 today (usually $6.99)

oh man, Baldur's Gate is seriously one of my favorite games of all time

TTR is bomb as fuck y'all should peep that shit

TTR is fantastic but I'm too cheap to buy extra boards ;_;

rune raiders isn't bad but plays through fast.

the 1910 expansion is the definitive game imo

love India also!

did we talk about tilt to live yet? tilt to live (currently free).

dungeon village on sale, just snagged it.

Is nobody playing Baldur's Gate on iPad? :-(

i played the heck out of it for the first couple of days but found a lot of the bugs to be frustrating. i'm currently giving it a rest to see if any updates come down the line to fix some of my issues

dungeon village is way too addicting.

i'm playing in it now (up to a 3 star village) but i wish it was a little more difficult!

but yeah, in typical kairosoft fashion, it's really addicting anyway.

at year 20 and i can't make five stars for the life of me.

i figure a second playthrough i'll understand how to do that.

s.clover, here's a decent set of tips for making more income: http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/57496/what-are-effective-strategies-to-raise-my-income

(ignore the top tip, which is sorta cheating imo)

you may already know that stuff, but that revealed a few basic things that i had no clue about. i didn't know, for example, that adventurers buy items in the shop that they already have equipped. so it makes sense to give them expensive weapons/armor because then they'll go and purchase that item repeatedly at the store after that!

I guess I just got lucky, because I didn't really have a clue what I was doing, but I hit five stars on my first play through at around 11 years I think? Then from there up until the deadline I wasn't sure what to work on beyond turning everyone into robots. Anyway, final clear ponts score was 169,120 with 1,142,010 monies. Not sure whether that's good or not, these games need leaderboards.

No games needs leaderboards. The top tens are always full of scores literally 100 times higher than your best and you just sit there looking at them thinking how? are you cheating? how? i don't get it, i just don't get it ;_;
