Retro time!

Dude.. Sanitarium was a *fucked up* game.. or possibly because I was playing it when I was like 13..
I still remember bits in the intro where there was some guy just muttering something beating his head on a bloodstained patch of wall.
Shortly after there was a guy which looked like he was peeing off the edge of a cliff.. you get near him and he freaks out and jumps off.
On the subject of retro.. you can't go wrong with DOSBox and anything Apogee released :) (or is that too retro?)
Audiosurf is pretty fun.. especially with Savlonic songs (look them up on youtube :) )
Black Mesa is a free game that's a re-imagining of the original Half-Life (Gets you up to before you go to XEN, they are making that part a whole game :D)
Although it's not related to the Operation: Black Mesa, which is essentially the same type of thing but with the Opposing Force game :)
I keep going back to Unreal Tournament, mainly to play the Unreal Coop mod (lets you go through Unreal with friends and a ton more enemies.. I recommend checking it out :) )
This is not entirely retro.. but there is a game on Steam called "Antichamber" which is a pretty awesome mind-fuck :)
Personally, I've been going back and playing Red Faction: Guerilla to try to finish it.
If you need any other ideas of games, let me know.. it's basically all I did my entire childhood.. and still do to this day.

So I bought the Tomb Raider pack during the Steam sale (why not? all 10 games for like $18). I load up the first game and after mapping the keys to my preference, I notice that they're all used by my left hand (I set them up according to my Skyrim layout). Of the first five TR games (I stopped at 6 because of how glitchy it was), the first was the one I played the most, being able to do a complete run getting all items, secrets and kills in a few hours.
Playing that game now, after having not played it for at least 10 years is just weird. No using the mouse, having to manually activate the Look function, no repositioning the camera, long jumps have to be set up, auto-aiming, can't just press the Fire button to draw your weapons...at least you can save whenever you want now though.

Sanitarium is *great* (at least the first half), and Mother and her situation is one of the best creep-outs from games of that time I ever saw. The themes and ideas in that act had a surprisingly large impact on my writing and storytelling projects over the years.

Just a FYI.. ROTT13 (newly overhauled version of the original) came out yesterday on Steam. It is glorious :)
Be sure to check out the Steam forums for that game for a few tweaks too.

Just got this going:
Looks like there's a hangman game for it, so it counts towards retro gaming, right? :-P
