Finished "4 Elements". A very nice and relaxing game!

4 Elements on Steam

The ancient kingdom is in trouble! The magic of the four elements that kept it running for centuries has been corrupted by evil powers and the altars no longer yield the energy of life. It is up to you to unlock the 4 ancient books of magic and collect 16 mysterious cards that will help you...

Basically it is a 3-or more in a row, with a few 'hidden object' and 'find the differences' mini-games.
It is an older game.

• In the hidden object games some stuff is impossible to find. So just click away. Looking closer at the screen does not help. It is an older game and some of the things are just not clearly defined.
• Find the difference mini games - on the other hand - are spot on! "Could have spotted the missing mountain in the left picture from a mile away, ha ha ha".
• But the 3-or more in a row stand out! If you get more than 4 in a row, the last one explodes, way to go! Makes you want to blow up stuff. On the other hand it is very relaxing. A loss - because time runs out - does not feel as a loss. You just think: "Yes! let's do it again!".

Edit: oh forgot, the music. I liked it very much. Last one gave me a bit of a Jean-Michel Jarre feeling.

I liked 4 Elements too, I haven't finished it but I was near it, I should have the save file backed up somewhere when I formatted the drive. For the music it is ok but it is a bit repetitive after a while. Anyway yes relaxing game, doesn't frustrate you replaying levels when you lose.

No, I saw this just the other day and they had to reboot their PC and it activated.

Maybe it happened like I said you in pm yesterday. First time I got error then I logout and reload browser page and it redeeded correctly. It was from browser activation.

Cadash and Michale Jackson's Moonwalker were the first two games I bought when I bought SEGA Mega Drive (Genesis) - and I was disappointed with both: Moonwalker wasn't the one we played on arcades but some boring side-scrolling game. And Cadash... They only allowed two classes - fighter and mage - no priestess or my favourite ninja.

yeah Moonwalker on MD is completely different from the arcade and this version was up 3 players.
some comparison here

it is true for Md Cadash version that's why I prefer Pc Engine Cadash, it is more like the arcade with 4 characters

Yeah, some games were mind-blowing. I remember the first time seeing Pit Fighter. It looked like the most realistic game ever - and it was for that time. To me, it looked better than Mortal Kombat 1.

Pit fighter was ahead for that time, but I prefer more Mk for its character roaster.
I like games with digitalized realistic characters.
I still have Lethal Enforces arcade game for Mega Drive, with justifier gun controllers. I remember when I bought it to a game shop, the seller told me that game was used for train the U.s Army. I don't know if it was real or not, but was fun.

and an arcade comparison vs Md. It was pretty good for a 16bit console.

So, since I'm now a storyteller

Spoiler: Yeah, that's me in both sequels.

here is another arcade-related story I remembered - honestly, never thought that would be interesting to anyone except for us that experienced it.

I think I was 16 at that time. My girlfriend liked games though not all of them were interesting to her. It was a hot summer day and during summers, most of the arcades would move their games in the open, under the big tent. My GF was wearing a light, short white dress. And the wind started blowing. Her favourite game was Amidar and that machine was close to the entrance so when she started playing, the wind became stronger and lifted her dress. She didn't flinch, just shouted to me: "Hold my skirt!"
And I did, but, being a 16 yo teenager, every time she would lose a life, I'd pinch her ass under the dress. She was startled but kept her calm. I think she finished 4 or 5 levels before she lost all three lives. She laughed and said that I'm impossiblee but wasn't mad. Then she went to Moonwalker and she beat my record from the day before and said: "That's for pinching me!"

hah funny story! I never played Amidar but it looks like clean version fo Gals panic . I like those kind of games in the arcade rooms I loved Qix and after I played it on my dad pc's office because I didn't have any computer at home I owned just consoles. There is a 2newer" game inspired by Qix for Steam I enjoyed it is Fortix 2.
Right now I'm remembering other older arcades I loved to play: Arkanoid , Bomb Jack, Pengo and of course Bubble Bobble with all its variations.

Did you already equip and upgrade the Twitch artifact to the max ?, If you did then you cant upgrade anymore until we get more fragments (Things we got today via the Calendar). We need 2 more fragments to upgrade it to the max again.

Just went there (at last i found it !), and it appears you can upgrade it from 4 to 7, but it needs 10 shards and i have 8.

I know, that's what I said "We need 2 more fragments to upgrade it to the max again". You know what all this shards and fragments are confusing us, Let's just call it fragments, and besides every time you say shards it just keep reminding me of Quake 3 Arena.

https://www.indiegala.com/bundle/playground-tales-bundle does anyone here even buy ebook bundles?

I think children today prefer staring a tablet with youtube kids rather then reading fairytales or parents are too lazy to read them

For a PDF man? They didn't even kill a tree like they did for the dollar haha.

they have to pay bills for the used electricity hehe

No, someone probably bought the bundle and uploaded them.

I sent the link to catguts recently, although thats like 30 pages now haha.

Never searched on github for ebook thanks for the tip.
On Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free & Borrowable Books, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine there are several free things including ebooks, I found a lot of old game magazines there too like this:

there are even downloable cd-rom you could find in the magazine
I still collect a big pile of old game magazines, I thanks people who can scan those oldies, I'm too lazy to scan each page and with my scanner it is very long work to do.


Edit: oooooh finally I could reply to all missing posts
Edit2: Damn looking those wonderful The Games Machine magazines it's like having a time machine!

I like having the whole library on my phone. While travelling or waiting in a hospital or wherever I don't need to buy a newspaper or drag a book from home.

Nah, Amidar isn't similar to Gals Panic (I like that game btw.). In Amidar, you have sort of like a chessboard but with irregular size of squares and you need to colour the borders of those squares while being chased by enemies. If you colour all 4 corner squares, you can "eat" your enemies like in Pacman. So, it's sort of Pacman+Gals Panic hybrid but I think it's an older game than both of those two.

I couldn't remember who the fuck it happened it too

Thank you ken (imagine the guy from half-baked)

I would have personal said your paying for the knowledge in the books, especially programming ones...but that works too ask crypto miners.

[DanteFromHell89]

Be lucky I translate that as much as I do all the time I'm not hopping sites for gamerlair.ukraine next lol.

бе-бе-бе!

haha, idk if I have it already, I think I'm missing one.

if you missing that one, just tell me)

Maybe I was the one not paying attention because of it all, your probably right.

it's okay) too much happening here for the last couple of days.

Cadash and Michale Jackson's Moonwalker were the first two games I bought when I bought SEGA Mega Drive (Genesis) - and I was disappointed with both: Moonwalker wasn't the one we played on arcades but some boring side-scrolling game. And Cadash... They only allowed two classes - fighter and mage - no priestess or my favourite ninja.

Hmm...I've completed the game (Cadash) through emulation on both Mage and Fighter, never was eager to try the other two classes.
And about Moonwalker - yes, it was completely another game, but to say it was bad or inferior...well, I need to play the arcade one to say fo sure, I guess

So, since I'm now a storyteller

Spoiler: Yeah, that's me in both sequels.

here is another arcade-related story I remembered - honestly, never thought that would be interesting to anyone except for us that experienced it.

I think I was 16 at that time. My girlfriend liked games though not all of them were interesting to her.

I think she finished 4 or 5 levels before she lost all three lives. She laughed and said that I'm impossiblee but wasn't mad. Then she went to Moonwalker and she beat my record from the day before and said: "That's for pinching me!"

Nice story))So romantic))

To be straight up, while I very much dislike all of the arguing and political posts, that's not the reason why I'm not that active these days.

I'm a couple of weeks into a brand new job that I didn't really want to move to, and the whole situation has been pretty hectic and stressful for me, and honestly a bit depressing. I'm starting to adapt, but it hasn't been the happiest transition, and I haven't had as much free time lately.

Thanks god it wasn't 'cause of me/us, really!)
Also I hope it will be better in a while for you.

 

[WhatNitrous]

if you missing that one, just tell me)

My wishlist is actually complete as far as anything I truly want and know about...and its sadly mostly steam games now, after max in the arena I'm almost sure its actually complete for fueda games. So I'm almost positive I own it, and I don't feel like signing in just to check since it was just to complete the delisted collection anyways, I really just wanted the racer heh.

it's okay) too much happening here for the last couple of days.

Understatement of the century, but I feel ya.

Life just did a loop de loop on me too, owner called me and said the unit couldn't be ready till tom...I got a truck rented, hands on deck, no way to even get the truck there tom.

I'm still digesting it atm. He did offer to pay for a hotel for me for the night, which was extreme for a landlord to a new tenant...and it means he does shit right. But it doesn't help me now

Nice story))So romantic))

little grab ass by her boyfriend never hurt a girl haha.
