Away, what's everybody playing?

Tsk Tsk, you know you shouldn't be talking about playing ROM's like that here

Anyways, I have all but given up on games, but I am playing an old classic, Starcraft [img]smile.gif[/img]

Had a good long bash at 1942 and Time Crisis at the pub last night. It's been 15 years or so since i last played 1942, and even with a crappy joystick, i still rock. Wasn't much chop with Time Crisis though..

They're just kind of all over the place. [/QUOTE]has more to do with games acquired in a less than legal manner. Most, but not all, ROMS fall under such a category. And as they are usually pirated copies, are not intended to be discussed. Legal possession of ROMs requires that you actually own in your possession, functional or otherwise, an authorised/official copy of the game, of which you wish to have the ROM. Anything else, unless declared public domain is essentially pirated material.

from the rules and regs,

Quote:

No Piracy: DO NOT post links to 'warez sites'. Do not discuss pirating games, bragging about pirating or anything else. This will get your account suspended or banned. The only possible thing you CAN discuss is the so-called 'cracks' for no CD operation. SOME Games don't work on some peoples CD-ROM's. This is because of a special copy protection called 'Safe Disc'. But that is it. Anything else is considered pirating.

But if you own the game, it's legal.

Anywho, just to be on the safe side, we usually don't discuss them.

Well, I own everything I have a ROM for. The PC is just easier than hooking everything up to the TV. I only get the games I own, since I don't know the others anyway.

I was playing Wizardry 8 for the last few months. It still kicks butt. I put Flamestrykes mod in there. Mkaes it like a whole new game.

I'm afraid Nintendo prohibit any of their games being downloaded and played on an emulator on a PC

Firestormalpha · 05-30-2007, 11:04 PM

Ahh yes, true, nintendo licensed characters including but not limited to Link, and Mario, and related games, are strictly protected content. Nintendo's a little stingey that way. But if you own the rights to the material I guess that's your prerogative (sp?)

Still playing Oblivion, especially with the KOTN and "Shivering Isles" expansions. Also, as LadyZekke says, playing weekly (as much as possible) Sacred multiplayer games.
