Rubiksmoose

Shogus Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus

@ShadowThePrincessWizard oh wow, now that takes me back!

I used to love that game and I can't even remember its name now!

@ShadowThePrincessWizard :O

@terdon Alley Cat

DOS game

Another one...

(that's to finish the level)

3:33 PM

@ShadowThePrincessWizard Alley Cat!!! oh the memories

:D

For me it was part of a package, along with Xonix, Round 42, and some more.

Oh, digger!

For some reason no pacman for the kid-me.

lol

Here's one of my all-time favs :)

And when I wanted to play for real, I went for quests, or D&D games.

@Emilie looking nice, but not familiar with it

And when friends arrived, we played Golden Axe or Super Fighter.

@ShadowThePrincessWizard Hero's Quest 1, it was a Sierra release

post alley cat though :)

@ShadowThePrincessWizard YESH! Thanks! I can almost remember the music now! :)

3:39 PM

@FélixGagnon-Grenier I know right!

@Emilie Persian Prince! Just like @M.A.R! :D

I went back a page in the transcript and saw nothing so figured we were good :P

@ShadowThePrincessWizard Is he a prince?!

heh

@Emilie same way that I'm a Princess, yep. :D

I played that for hours, but eventually realized I don't like to keep dying in the same spot hundreds of times. LOL

@ShadowThePrincessWizard Who's your nemesis? Light the Prince...what's the opposite of a Wizard? Warrior? Frog?

3:42 PM

this reminds me of the time I actually considered the idea of posting a question on Arqade about Super Frog.

@ShadowThePrincessWizard Yea I remember it was damned repetitive

@Emilie no real opposite, it's just an occupation. ;)

Guess Wizards should fight Dragons, though.

@Emilie and sometimes just hard.... :(

@Hitodama think old games don't really get much attention there

It's more for modern games, afaik.

@ShadowThePrincessWizard Was another of those "If I can't find an answer, no one will and I don't care about giving free rep to people who like to post random guessing" moments.

@ShadowThePrincessWizard Don't really need to ask for "How to kill boss" question on stack when GameFAQS exist (to be fair, it is not like I use walkthroughs in the first place).

If I have to come here, is for info that I can't find anywhere else and/or has been lost in the years

@Hitodama well, you won't find it in SE either.

@ShadowThePrincessWizard exactly.

3:48 PM

Not without big amount of luck, e.g. the game developer happens to be around.

And, of course, now I found an online simulator...

Rubiksmoose

@Hitodama On many sites, that kind of thing would be useful as a self-answer.

@terdon nice!

@Rubiksmoose had I that info, I wouldn't be asking in the first place. Also, my latest "self answer" was greeted by another user posting another answer that started with "I know this isn't relevant for this question, but I am posting just in case". Not really encouraging me to post more....

That was so weird. I don't think I've seen that game in what, 20 years? 25? And yet I still remembered pretty much everything as soon as I ran the emulator.

3:51 PM

@terdon noooooooooo

@Emilie buhahahaha! Terdon, destroyer of productive Mondays, strikes again!

While there, also played thousands of hours in Bubble Bobble

That one failed to run smoothly in DOS Box... :/

@ShadowThePrincessWizard I prefer Parasol Star.

@terdon my case is more weird: I have nearly zero memories from my personal life as a kid (e.g. what I did in school, friends, etc) but I remember a lot of the games I played, what they were, etc.

It's like my brain kept only the best moments, but that's also not true, as I'm sure I had good moments outside of the games... :/

Rubiksmoose

@Hitodama Fair 'nuff.

3:57 PM

@Hitodama never tried sequels of old games, except D&D games like Dragonlance. :)

mag

time to sign a new lease after work

because I just love reading a contract instead of unwinding

djsmiley2k - CoW

@ShadowThePrincessWizard I remember very little of my childhood except some weird moments.

Thing about games is, you can refresh the memories by playing again

you can't refresh memories of people you don't remember

@djsmiley2k-CoW Sometimes ignorance is bliss. I can think of so many games that I seem to recall had "awesome graphics" and when I run them again, I'm sorely disappointed!

@djsmiley2k-CoW what moments, if I may ask?

Also, I'm pretty sure reason for my lack of memory is trauma of losing father at young age, even though I'm sure I was not really sad since I barely knew him. But... go figure, that's what the psychologist said. :/

@djsmiley2k-CoW well I'm still in touch with friends from back then... so that's not the case.

My first "real" memories are from army, maybe bit before.

hmm.... I might be a clone!

:P

A Technical Deep Dive into Our MS Teams Integration

These days, everything in your life is connected. Your email connects to your phone, which connects to your garage door, which talks to your security system. It’s no different with the apps you use to get work done; everything needs to integrate smoothly, allowing you to quickly access relevant data from whatever tool you’re using at the moment. We have limited attention; anything not easily accessible in our workflow isn’t going to keep your attention for very long. …
