Geralt_of_Rivia: I have to admit I didn't even know the Amazon game. Is there any reason why this game is that unknown?
No idea, though it does seem to be considered pretty bad, at least because you need to do it just right or you can get softlocked easily, see those few reviews. I just remember liking the atmosphere of it, and the graphics also seemed pretty great for its time, but how far I got, couldn't say, probably didn't finish since I was hardly finishing anything back then, and if I did get far it must have been with the DLH walkthrough open, was getting that with regular updates from a guy as a staple and didn't even really think about struggling to solve such games on my own, was playing for immersion and escapism back then as well. I'd play around with the text parser ones, those allowed far more freedom, but these with the icon UI, nah, the moment I hit a snag, I'd open the guide and follow it.

Somehow, your thread flew under my radar, completely undetected. :P

Not in, but reading about you celebrating a new rig brings back fond memories. :) You made me realize my PC dates back to 2016! I was really happy when it was first built for me. Now, I feel like treating myself to a new PC too, or at the very least, an upgrade of sorts.

Congrats on your new gaming machine, Cavalary! :D
Congrats on the new computer! It's very satisfying building from parts too. Be sure to take advantage of the upgrade to play some games you couldn't before. My computer is now about 5-6 years old, but it took me a while before I started to take advantage of it because I was so used to playing less demanding old games and indies :)

And thank you for the giveaway! I'm in for Amazon: Guardians of Eden.

I'll be doing the same, I'm sure. And sadly there is one that I could play before and which now I see will require a workaround, if it'll even work anymore, referring to Bound By Flame which has those yellow artefacts on AMD. But the first one that would fit that bill would be Phoning Home, which I started on the old computer but had to drop when passing through the portal to get to ANI, out of memory error, apparently for textures, so I'll be able to continue it on this one.

Anyway, 2 PM for me, midnight even on Baker Island and Howland Island, so Jan 12 everywhere. Entries closed. Ten each for Amazon: Guardians of Eden and Lula: The Sexy Empire, seven for Sid Meier's Colonization, four for Summer and Winter: Olympic Challenge.

Give me a while to roll the dice.
All right, f'it, I'll get a tray.
I am in (for: ) Lula. Your help will reveal amusing facts about who needs that game most. ^

Edit: yes!¡!! I knew I didn't need that game. Thank You for saving me! ^° (and including within)
Edit 2: Congratulations to everyone within this thread! Extraordinary event Cavalary.

Results:

(Yep, made an out-of-competition roll for solseb too, just in case. Wouldn't have won anyway.)

Amazon: Guardians of Eden
01kipper ==> 432
DiffuseReflection ==> 531
drxenija ==> 652
erbello ==> 522
Geralt_of_Rivia ==> 411
kultpcgames ==> 544
pablodusk ==> 542
park_84 ==> 643
thiagott ==> 665
Ultra.Instinct. ==> 321

Lula: The Sexy Empire
botan9386 ==> 322
csanjuro ==> 664
DiffuseReflection ==> 321
drxenija ==> 311
erbello ==> 651
Geralt_of_Rivia ==> 641
KillingMoon ==> 421
Lexor ==> 651
park_84 ==> 642
Ultra.Instinct. ==> 531
[-solseb ==> 533-]

Sid Meier's Colonization
DiffuseReflection ==> 311
drxenija ==> 543 ==> 4
erbello ==> 431
Geralt_of_Rivia ==> 552 ==> 4
KillingMoon ==> 311
RenKalan ==> 443
TheBigCore ==> 633 ==> 1

Summer and Winter: Olympic Challenge
ConsulCaesar ==> 311
drxenija ==> 331
erbello ==> 643
kultpcgames ==> 632

Surprisingly, there was a single tie, for Colonization, and it was hard-fought, the fourth die just reducing it from a three-way to a two-way, and the highest roll between the two being the same. But the witcher won over the resident freebie tracking cat due to rolling two fives. All that Gwent practice might have had something to do with it.

You'll receive your codes shortly. Thank you all for entering, and for the congratulations and wishes and advice regarding the computer.
