I'm not sure of how many are inclined to go. For anyone not already in America, it's expensive and potentially dangerous to get there--let alone the money required to actually attend.

Although I will stand by Gabriel Knight 3 as an excellent game. (And one of my favourites, too!)

But yeah, I am glad that they--and, I'd suggest, little freeware gamedevs, too!--did keep the flame alight! ^_^

Oh, dear, you'd better stay away from reviews like that, then! ;P

Hahah, I'm glad that you're getting such good reviews! ^_^

I love the use of subtle colours here to convey the feeling of stone! ^_^

That is a pretty cool bit of technology, though. ^_^

There are slime creatures in Elden Ring and Nightreign using anim rigs from Kings Field 1 in 1994.

Don't fix what ain't broke.

Oh, wow, yeah--I've heard that effect a million times, I feel!

I wonder whether it was first made (or used) for this, or whether there's some earlier usage...

Okay, but that's pretty cute! ^_^

That's really cool that you got to do that! And I like your painting of it! ^_^

"Build the Abyss"

Ah, I see you're leaving post-it notes to yourself inside the game itself! :P

(This is looking very cool! ^_^)

Now, now--let's be fair.

Sometimes they insist on installing a statue puzzle instead. :P

Oh wow! Which effect is that?

Following on from the "favourite games" trend, tell me about your "special unfavourites"!

Those games that aren't favourites--but that are nevertheless special to you somehow.

Whether for memories, or admiration, or something else besides!

Here below are (some of) mine! ^_^

Aah, that is cool! I remember seeing something like that when I was staying with some relatives in England. ^_^

As someone who's seldom been good with plants, I do find it impressive when people grow their own food! Plus it's more sustainable, I daresay! ^_^

Congratulations on that! ^_^

I take it that this is essentially a garden-plot? If so, what do you have in mind to grow, if I may ask?

Having been enabled- *ahem* >encouraged< by a friend, here's the runners up--those favourites that didn't make it into a set of just nine games!

(They didn't have Quest for Glory II or Excavation of Hob's Barrow.)

Oh all right, then, I will! >:P

Well, they're up now! ^_^

And I'm tempted to do a second set for the runners-up! ^^;

Oh, I have plenty of games that I've been wanting to go back to! It's getting to time for a replay of the Gabriel Knight games for one, I think...

Time to do the "top 9 games" thing! (Courtesy of my9games.com )

Nine is way too few spots. T-T I could probably fill a second one of these!

(I'm actually just about to! :D

I can't quote-post your post, so I'm going to do it from a post by someone else, but still!

... I'm just... running the site through a translator so that I know what's going on! XD; )

This is definitely a very "you" spread! ^_^

Oh wow, I love Shivers! And Lighthouse is a fond memory of mine! ^_^

(In fairness, I still have Lighthouse--I just haven't actually gone back to it as of yet. Plus it's associated with some nice experiences. ^_^)

You got it as one package or purchase, didn't you? Therefore it counts as one thing! ;P

There is some seriously pretty and imaginative art here! ^_^

Ooh, Myst! There's a nice classic to see included! ^_^

That's a really cool feature to have atop one's house! And they're so well done, too! ^_^
