I love the musics. After finishing the game, I played the main theme in my car again and again and again.



LAN parties. I remember the first time I could connect two PC together. It was Doom, with a serial-to-serial cable. We were two players on the same fucking map. It was awesome!

Then coax cable networks with friends. We used to have two or three different networks during a LAN party since you could not disconnect the coax cable to add a player without stopping the current games. The players arrived later would plug a new network just for them, and launch a game waiting the first players to finish theirs.


Also, when the story is great and not too long, I like not to run. Two examples are Firewatch and Portal 2. I take my time because I don’t want them to finish them fast. It’s like keeping a lotery ticket without checking if you won.



Mario Kart Wii (others versions too maybe) has a music with more and more instruments. The more you configure your kart, the more instruments are playing. It’s a nice warmup.


Now you need to change the names and make these new names famous, since that’s the thing that the company has really bought. The brand.


It would not be the first time that a second game from one successful developer will never come to life. I wish that I am wrong.


The novelty was the story in FPS. Before Half Life, all you have to do is to shoot every moving sprite and grab keys to open doors. The story was a splash screen between the levels.

Nowadays it doesn’t look special to have a story. When I first played Half Life, my mind was blown away.


I played Quake 2 on the Oculus Quest and it was the best VR experience I had. The port is perfect. It’s like the dream of my younger self since it was my favourite game then.


Mirror´s Edge. 9/10 on Steam. I bought it during the last sales. The gameplay is playing again and again and again the difficult jumps until you make it. It’s boring.


Fantastic Contraption 2 is a puzzle game where you construct vehicules and catapults to get a red round in a square. It was really fun to play with a collegue. We would show our craziest contraptions. https://flashmuseum.org/fantastic-contraption-2/

Dicewars is addictive. https://flashmuseum.org/dicewars/ There are tons of remakes of it.

Spybot. Too bad it’s not in this library and can’t be played anymore : https://jayisgames.com/review/spybot-the-nightfall-incident.php It’s a small turn based RPG based on a LEGO universe.


Yeah. That’s were I abandonned the game out of frustration. Playing the same 30 seconds again and again and again is not fun.


I enjoyed it until the timed puzzles. I did’t enjoy knowing the solution but being forced to play again and again and again to time it right.
