It's co-op nonsense and I think I mentioned maybe a few million times that I like story-driven single-player games.

The '90s are like microwave-warmed-up leftovers of '80s pizza.
Don't think of me as an agitator for co-op games, but sometimes it's a lot of fun. I'm an old believer who doesn't recognize all multiplayer, MMO, PVP and other incomprehensible abbreviations - only myself, only the story mode, so that everything must be like in Super Mario, and don't dare touch the second gamepad, but sometimes the multiplayer pleasantly surprised me. Of course, if there is a plot and you have a reliable partner. My friend and I played Aliens Colonial Marines and it was fun (and then we jumped into Halo on Legendary and that's a whole different story). I don't know at all if there is a story in Fireteam, I will either get this game at a huge discount at some point, (yep, just because the co-op here is the basis, not a nice bonus), or I will try to win on SG (I'm extremely optimistic), but don't rush to get rid of your copy, maybe someone will recommend you it in more detail.

The roof is on FIRE!!!

Finished "The Emerald Maiden: Symphony of Dreams" on "Expert" level.
Good game from the King of HOG's.


Hints are not needed on this one, but some things are a bit illogical.
Needed to get the boat afloat??? Huh?
Edit: Ok, looked it up in a walkthrough. "Remove the sand with the EAR HORN (X)." Alrighty then.
The puzzles were easy and the hidden objects were well hidden.
Many cut-scenes. This can be a bit distracting, but the game has a 'story', so there.
All scenes are nice and detailed. A few words I had to look up, like 'tassel'.
And, nagging here, there were a few spelling mistakes in the dialogues.

Mom: "Don't leave us swimming dear".
Several dreams are waiting where you need to get objects out.
One scene is in Paris. Yes you can view Paris in this game! 🗼
Another scene is in the Canadian wilderness. Bitter cold.
Luckily moving around is easy because of the map.
At one point you got a gun and need to shoot something. 🔫
It felt like being a desperado, but of course the gun only fires at the right target.
...
And this game got - drum roll please 🥁 - kittens!
Pa is away on business travel again ....jpg
5 of them. Cuteness abound.

For anyone who are planning to buy Acer laptops: They have the worst keyboard ever. I rarely use it and it's still dead after 1 and a half year.
Same! It is not completely dead but some keys as q e t 1 doesn't work, searching on internet I realized it is a common problem. Sometimes I solved this problem with some solution found on youtube like this
but after a while the problem came back and then it was even worse.
So I solved the problem buying an external logitech keyboard that is even better then acer.

It's not like I try to get rid of it like some cursed item from a horror movie but every time I get a similar game, I ask Google "Is Aliens: Fireteam Elite single-player any good?"
And the answer told me everything I need to know.

Using a laptop as main computer here also. With a monitor and an external keyboard. (y)
Laptop is closed almost all the time. Only sometimes I need to press the restart button.

I tried that now, and found a very strange article in which the single part is placed between Colonial Marines and Isolation :) Very high score, which does not really match the main article. Which would raise a lot of questions - whether the person who did this did not play them at all, or is not aware that the ColoMar was fixed ten years ago and there is no need to look at the reviews of the release version. But it made the game even more desired for me! :)

This is a referral code for a diamond jackpot. If the person who activated it wins, the owner of the code will get the same amount. If it is yours, it would be better to say so. If someone gave it to you, you were used.

Here. At least he's a good person. But be careful!
It is not my code, otherwise I would have told you, I have no reason to hide it. I found on this website LootBoy Codes 2023 (April) [UPDATED!] - Free Diamonds
it doesn't say that it is a friend code so I posted it. Anyway I delete the post, I don't want to promote anyone I don't know, if that is a ref code.

This code can be obtained when you «purchase» the Diamond Jackpot lootpack. Codes are personal for each person. It seems that there are just some lazy people on that site who mindlessly copy all the information from the thread on SG. It's certainly better than some people just posting their codes without explanation, but I wouldn't trust that site as a source of information just in case.
Each user can use only one such code, so if someone used someone else's code by accident, he will not be able to do it again with the right one.

Thats because this generation was raised on the internet :LOL:

🎶I am just a copy of a copy of a copy... 🎶


I hope they've fixed it in console ports and/or next versions of SFII:eek:🙏

Those were all glitches exclusive to certain Arcade Cabinets, some glitches only worked on Championship Edition, some on other editions, none of the glitches ended up on Super Nintendo or other ported versions of the game, except maybe being able to sweep Vega off of his feet repeatedly (not sure, this could've been seen as a feature of the game and maybe they kept it in). The guy in the video was obviously using MAME (Arcade Emulator) to emulate the original ROM as if he were playing an actual Arcade Cabinet. The only versions that would include those specific glitches would be any version that emulates an Arcade Cabinet and runs the original ROM.

I would accept your code anytime BP. So bring it on! :cool:
Nice kid :) , but that code isn't really mine I just taken it from that website.

What you mean, once I use it can't I use other friend codes? or when I use it other people can't use it?
Anyway I used that one from the website and it worked.
I didn't know about this diamod jackpot lootpack, lately I'm barely using Lootboy, just redeeming codes on the website I don't have even the app installed.

I think he means that if you go and purchase the Diamond Jackpot Lootpack right now, it will generate your own personal code, but you already used somebody else's code, so you will not be able to use your own code 🤪 but maybe you can share your own personal code with other people (I think this is the code Kid Kidding wants to use, your personal code), they seem to be tied to a raffle (if I understood correctly) if somebody who used your code wins the raffle, you will benefit from it. 🤷‍♂️
