Is that from OWOD, the art style is really fitting.

Nice, I;ve been wanting to start playing again. I had a Hunter game I was running but it fell apart.

Isn't that from the in-universe version of White Wolf's write-up as a Werewolf villain?

Looking back on it now it kinda reminds me of that cartoony round-toothed art of that weirdo hanging out with Derpy and fantasizing about CWC.

Many of the games don't work properly, unfortunately.

SimAnt is on there. Pretty awesome.

Yeah, Wizardry 1 requires a disk or something. A real shame.

I wanna check out Tongue of the Fatman. I heard it's a shitty game but it will be for free. And Jesus Christ this picture,

The Holiday Hare games are there too


Hopefully they add Jazz Jackrabbit 2

 

[exball]

We can embed these games directly into the forums...

It's worth noting with some of these like Doom and Wolfenstein 3D have very useful sourceports that allow you to run the games much better.

Little-known fact: "The Fatman" refers to George Alistair Sanger, a prolific composer of game music and friend of Bill Volk's. It's a joke: Sanger is the skinniest mofo you ever saw in your life. I once rode from Austin to Dallas (to check out Ion Storm, hee hee -- y'know, where Romero failed to make anyone his bitch) in Sanger's Rolls-Royce. It'd been retrofitted with seat belts that used guitar slides for the adjustment-thingies.

Incidentally, the Mac version came out long before the PC port, kind of rare in the early '90s.

The above is the first image I ever did anything with in my new incarnation as Mr. Game Programmer Sir: the first step of the project I worked on was "make a Windows program to display a bitmap," and that was the file Bill handed me. It didn't have anything to do with the game I was working on, it was just something he had lying around. Ahh, the mammaries.
