Do it loser, we have weird shit like Mystery of the Druids.

Oh, but you better do it quick 'cause you know piracy is just going to get harder and harder. Mmm mmm I love being arrested for copies of zeros and ones from 30 years ago.

Fucking hell, capitalism ruins everything. I was excited for the Switch 2 'till I saw it was just as overpriced as the others.

It's just sad to see what even was once such a weird and experimental industry become yet another over invested industry.

Fuck shareholders. Fuck Capitalism. Fuck endless growth and the monitisation of fun and creativity.

master list of low spec games: https://pastebin.com/MTCXZxCN

i was actually playing ZORK (1982) and paper mapping on my desk while i played. even though it wasn't the most insane game experience i've ever had, was really fun to learn/experience a part of gaming history. it also holds up REALLY fucking well to today's standards. being gameplay and not graphic based will do that.

Those old text games had a certain charm, but I don't miss the "You cannot get ye flask" moments
