I’ve been playing my own LEGO branded version of garbage truck simulation for the past few weeks.

Mac LR 1
Mac LR 2
Mac LR 3

These games go back a good way, though. I remember playing “Power Shovel” on Playstation 1 back in the day. And yes it was still in Japanese Language for it’s US release I had.

I just finished listening to HMS Ulysses by Alistair MacLean. I liked the narrator a lot, a chap called Jonathan Oliver - a British English voice which suits the novel perfectly.

Quite a story! Now I want to play a naval simulator or some kind :grin:

My wishlist is so long that I am even afraid to check xplane store page :slight_smile:

Bought the Nimbus UH-1. Looking forward to trying that out, and comparing it with the DCS version and the Virpil Collective after my vacation is over.

Q4XP soon!

Day 1 purchase for sure…

I’m sitting on a few purchases that I’ve waited YEARS for the price to drop to what I think is “reasonable”…I don’t know why I’m so stubborn on these since I’ve spent thousands of dollars over the years…but…these are ones I want but the price never seems to drop to the trigger point…

Just Flight TB-10 / TB-20
SIAI Marchetti SF-260

and more recently…the…

IniSims A300
BAe 146 Pro

Those are all on my short list of waiting for some theoretical sale price…not exactly sure what that number is…but I’ll know it when I see it… :rofl:

Also eying that Schweizer S300CBi…looks kind of interesting and at the current sale price of $20 it is pretty attractive…

I understand your pain, its like some games on steam that NEVER go to sale for years, or because its selling well, so why the point for a discount, and/or because dev company greedy/stuburn.
But also, some i not wait, some devs deserves the bucks and i’m happy to deliver full price bucks on the product.
About inibuild until now it shows that is not a company that will do like a 50% sale, so, if you really want it, you should pay or forget the existence of it. About Justflight products, i recommend you be on their newsletter, they sometimes do nice 50% discount and that TB10/20 sometimes shows up there. The BAe i doubt so soon because was recently released, BUT its a JF product, so, soon or later will be catched by a sale. Keep a watch on their newsletter…

Really good game. I bought it at release, but finally got around to playing it this year. Quite enjoyable. More so if you get it for free.

It’s been rumored for a few days, but it’s official: looks like the entire Activision Star Trek catalog is available on GOG, or coming soon.

I’m sure the timing is completely and totally just random.

$9.99 for games literally at the dollar stores here is steep, I can modify and get it to run on my own.

True but for a vast majority of common PC users having a complete package of easy-to-run games is a blessing.

I really REALLY have to be bored to try and get old games running these days. Click and play is the best way for me, even if i have to pay a bit for the privilege

I have most of my older games (over 200) on a Windows XP Virtual Machine Image.

I save that image to external HDD, so No matter what PC I’m on, I can load up the Virtual System and play.

I think I have one for DoS/Windows 95 too, but I rarely use it as most if not all run fine on the XO Machine or DosBox
