I haven’t had a floppy disk drive in years! This probably took hours to install. So then I probably had the *gasp* 11 3.5″ Floppy Disks! 11. The first thing I notice: Holy crap! Voice acting! Out of everything I remember, I don’t remember anybody in the game speaking a word! When did this happen?! Apparently, it happened on the CD-ROM release, also back in 1993. So I quickly downloaded the files off of GOG, set up DOSBOX’s configuration file so that it would be optimized, read up on the meager manual, and fired it up. All I remember are maybe a few scenes and the game being, well, good. Released in 1993, I was 12 years old, and so have may been a little young for the more adult themes portrayed in the game, but as an adult, I am more than willing to jump back in and catch all the Voodoo goodness. So, lucky me, the first pick was Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers! I remember playing Gabriel Knight back in the hayday of Sierra, and it being the first game that ever made me literally jump out of my seat. I will hopefully keep this up until I’ve finally played through them all, which I figure will take me the rest of my known life. I figured out, in the list, which of those two games I preferred to play more, and then I would play it until I either beat it or got too tired of it. I told my wife to pick a number between 1 and 125, and then also told a random number generator the same task. This final list was around 125 different games. Finally, I removed games that were sequels of games that I do have some intention of playing. First, organizing them by media type ( Steam, GOG, CD, or downloaded as Abandonware), then removing all the ones I’ve already beaten and all the ones I didn’t have the slightest interest in playing.
Over the past few days I’ve made a spreadsheet of all the games I own (~360). What better time to work on resolutions than right now?
