Gaming Topic?

90 replies

The thread on Hay Day has been very popular. Who knew how many of us wasted so much time on were interested in games. It's in chat though so I wondered whether you had thought of a games topic?

Video games is ok but Gaming would cover all nerdy bases such as role-playing tabletops. Maybe a rename of that topic?

Well this is embarrassing - we hadn't really clocked that we already had this

Missed this but adding another hellz yeah!

Thank you!!!! For now we're overtaking the Chat section. Bit sad that we'll lose the threads there though.

Hello folks,

We haven't forgotten you! We're still musing on the best place to put the next topic and how to organise it - but we'll get back to you when we have more info.

Do we have one yet?

JadziaSnax · 25/05/2014 18:15

Great idea, I love casual games like Hay Day & Tribez and have recently discovered minecraft. There's been a few threads recently that have been really handy for minecraft mods & it would be great to have them all in one place for easy reference.

KateS, I have sent samples of various delectable gins to the usual address.

@yourlittlesecret

RowanMumsnet How far down tech's list might this be? The Hayday thread is nearly full, and is in chat so will disappear along with lots of useful cheats tips.

Not sure what the to-do list is looking like these days - will regroup and come back to you after the bank hol Smile

@Jux

Rowan, could you move the Hay Day thread to somewhere safer until the games topic is set up (if it is?). If you do we shall ply you with gin.....

Ping us a link or report and we shall gladly do so. Gin can be sent to the usual address Wink

Galactus · 25/05/2014 13:11

I very much want this!!

BertieBotts · 25/05/2014 11:44

Gog.com has a lot of the old DOS games and they come with an emulator bundled in so they work even on Windows 7+ :)

caeleth84 · 25/05/2014 11:39

Yes please

Jux · 23/05/2014 19:34

WinkGrin it's an easy thing to do, Queen.

JonSnow, Myst was already dying by the time I got off the Macs and got a non-DOS pc. A friend had Valhalla and we used to spend hours on her m/c coming out with things like "My eyes are bleeding" "shit, I'm lycanthropic!" Grin. Sigh, oh how I miss it.

HayDayQueen · 23/05/2014 18:52

JUX, JUX, JUX! (Not Jus! Sorry!!!!)

HayDayQueen · 23/05/2014 18:52

Jus - I could compile the advice into one initial thread and start a new one just for Hay Day when the new gaming topic starts up.

No I didn't Jux I'm going to look it up now! Love those old DOS games. And yes, loads of them worked on Windows 95 but won't even start up on later versions.
I was fairly obsessed by games like Gabriel Knight, Phantasmagoria, Myst, all that lot. I still have the Myst games installed on my work laptop so I can play when bored at school let my class work through them as a treat at the end of term!

Jux · 23/05/2014 18:01

JonSnow, did you ever play Ragnarok aka Valhalla? Iused to love that game. The developers put the code up on tinterwebs eventually, and despite being a DOS game it used to work in early Windows; not sure it would now though.
