      Yes, from Virgin Interactive (Prince of Persia, Earthworm Jim, Resident Evil, Flight Unlimited)!
      Played it back then, it was pretty good. Now, there’s the re-issue, just extract the files into a directory like C:\Guest and run. If that doesn’t work, try it from Old Games, for extra options try it with an MS-DOS conf file and run it through PrgLnch.

        The folks at Discord can’t help as it is a not an O365 issue as such. So now, submitted it as an idea to the portal. Here’s hoping someone there will be interested. 🙂

          Sharktopus; and the never to be released spinoff: Jabberjaw Grows a Tentacle. (wouldn’t be technically correct since octopuses only have arms. But hey, it’s SliFi right?)
          Cheap set looks spiffing enough, looks like you are starting a collection, how about a dice bath bomb?
          The ozemail email address is finally downstream, took ages to change it in existing accounts, what with Google’s password management clunky at best, and weird setups at the places holding the account. The most annoying thing was the import not working as it should. 🙁

            Not quite a relic yet, the UPS purchased for the downstairs PC is getting on in years, and doing rather well. As for the place it came from, not so. Turns out they went belly up the very year the unit was purchased, and all of 5 years to learn of the plight of Warehouse1. 😛

              Ah yes, thanks, do have an account with the old SysInternals, but what happened to the old forums?

                Zelda is getting better all the time it seems. Over here the ABC State Channel runs a weekly game review show mainly for kiddies, but adult kiddies like yours truly get a buzz out of it as well. This is their review of it – not region blocked over there at all?

                Honestly, it’s looking more and more like the game of the decade, what a shame they aren’t going to have a port for other platforms.

                  All looks terrific here. 🙂
                  Sounds good, a blog would work as well, is it necessary to create more pages for that?

                    How odd, if it does happen again, troubleshoot the server-side cache by shooting a PM over here so the site cache can be cleared. Else it could be something awry with the client-side caching, an area which isn’t currently under focus (yet).

                      Looks fine here, not sure about the mobile though – would it change at all if the transparency was decreased/increased? Test as much as you like.
                      Think bbp-topic-admin-links is the edit | move | split … above each post, the pagination is presumably the page numbers of the threads, and the login links for other folks new to the forum. Found them in bbpress.css. 🙂

                        My goodness, that’s going back a bit again. Those kinds of movies are the spookiest of all, the PuppetMaster movies feature prominently on the Horror Movies with Dolls list.
                        They used to play the made for television Trilogy of Terror on late night TV, here’s the promo:

                        Recommended! 🙂
                        They are repeating Robot Wars on FTA again, it was kind of fun while it lasted, the problem ultimately ended up as sponsorship, what respectable and trusted corporation is ever going to fund a .5 ton mean mechanoid of mayhem?

                          Lovely! For the phone, the white can come with just a hint of either yellow gold or orange gold instead? Hmmm, if not, retouching the transparency parameters?
                          There’s a few BBPress links:

                          bbp-admin-links
                          bbp-topic-admin-links
                          bbp-pagination-links
                          bbp-login-links

                          For the colours of hyperlinks, or visited hyperlinks in the posts, is this guide any good?

                            Love scones! Apricot might make for a good flavour combination:Apricot Scones!
                            The recipe also suggests a lower protein flour – very good idea!
                            Called my neighbours up to collect a bunch of ripe/ning persimmons I harvested 10 days ago. They suggested the best recipe was persimmon muffins. Yum! They kindly brought some plum jam and pickles, which I know for a fact will be excellent. 🙂

                              Got the Disqus folks on chat, somehow the post was flagged as spam so it never got to the tag channels. Yet still visible. 😛
                              Sam over there was very nice, he did mention the solution was pretty much down to PipDisqus, who seems to be very much the blogger go to guy – a resource we might have considered for Walrus Ramblings.
                              Also mentioned it to PipDisqus, so hopefully only a few weeks before his next update. 🙂

                                Yes, good references, there is sure to be at least one more of those 27 examples we can use to simplify things a bit.

                                Nice! Changed the site Text font again to regular, the template we are using is the Home page template, which is a bit odd, because it’s only supposed to apply to the Home page, and not the forums. Or do the BBPRess forums follow the Home template, and not the Default? Might help to determine how BBPress uses our templates.
                                Another pressing issue is the glaring white of the post header, footer, and edit bars. Is it possible to determine their ids for use in the CSS?

                                  Is that for your posts only? Does it apply to the last post only, or all posts in the topic? The date/time won’t change after a page refresh? Does repairing the forums in Tools change anything?
                                  I usually see the dates of the last posts on the forums page where they look to be reasonably consistent.

                                    Yes! here’s hoping they have a horror fest on FTA SBS channel over here. It’s a made-for-television film which is synonymous with don’t_have the_funds_for_Box_Office_promos, and being less of a worry for the producers, the films turn out to be better than expected.
                                    Wonder if they do lines on trick die, or ones with a slight bias? Good for a chuckle at the next hook-up at the community board game centre. 🙂
                                    Good news about the workbench, is it in the garage?

                                      In the final movie, were the same characters all killed off in a similar way? Hmmm, such a bloodbath would have engendered a greater hue and cry for sure!
                                      Reviewed the clock, kind of like it, but wanted a bit more, I guess.
                                      Reminiscence is on FTA tonight, might give it a miss being absolutely spooked by the reviews. Box Office Bombs aren’t my thing either. 😛

                                        Has the Zelda come in yet – Tears of the Kingdom is it? There are mods for it on Nexus, would those be usable for the Switch? Are these games bundled with modding kits, or is it stuff from (ex)gamedevs?

                                          Yeah, could put it in an About page, or even an attribution logo on the bottom of the picture itself.
                                          Before the image was implemented, did the greeny fade effect permeate through the posts a little – can’t remember. The white in these posts sure comes with a strong hospital glare.
                                          One approach for colour compatibility, is to blend the background image down to almost greyscale, or soften it to a single colour. Ideally, show the original image on the welcome page- perhaps others, but the modified form on the forums.

                                            Use Clipgrab for youtube, which has undergone some criticism in the past – for me it is not problematic, mind you the ~100 mb d/l size does not account for relatively simple and uncluttered user interface. Clipgrab relies on this yt-dlp, an enormous project with no other purpose but to download stuff from youtube.
                                            Signed up with PlayOK around 4 or 5 years ago, where I built up passable stats and rep, and after a recent enquiry about account accessibility, the reply was:

                                            Yes, this is a normal practice to remove unused accounts
                                            We are not able to restore accounts that were auto-deleted

                                            A better way for a site like that to avoid excessive user hair pulling, is to automate emails to recipients deemed as inactive after a time, requesting them to sign in if their desire is to hold on to the account.
