Yes Gus, I am in your head. But are you in mine as well???

[Gusington]

No way, I am barely in my own. The C 64 and Amiga made me fear Germans...getting to know ur own MikeGER completed the process.

SSI was the best. So many of their games were good. Prior to steam is when gaming cost me real money. I got lots of games at full retail back then. Probably $1k in the 80s and 90s.

262!! Mein gott.

I already own the retail boxed versions of the majority of the games I purchased from GOG.com but I bought the digital versions for a couple of reasons. First, the oldest PC games in my collection are DOS and on 5.25" floppies. I no longer have a working DOS computer nor a working PC with a 5.25" drive. Additionally, I have the printed paper manuals for those old games as well as the early Windows games. Most of the remainder of my purchases from GOG.com are games that I missed playing back in the day and I wanted to try out. The few remaining are new games like Age of Wonders III that are not available (in English!) in physical format.

Regardless of the reason for purchasing them, I rarely play any of the games I've purchased from GOG.com, GamersGate, Humble Store, or Steam.

Being happily retired I say you've earned the right to do or not do anything you please.

I came across Wargamer and Blitz websites due to Soldiers at War and Close Combat 2.

Why did they make you fear Germans (the C64 and Amiga, not Mike :)?

Somewhere around here I still have my Commodore 64, 1541 drive and assorted 5.25" floppies for it.

Time to bring it out and give it some play time:)

I played my games way more back on those simpler machines:)

When I first started playing games WWII was not such ancient history and I got to know the German side of things really well with the C64 and Amiga. WWI too.
