and ret pals, fools



polymorph is awesome, if you pull 2 when you mean to pull 1, you can sheep that extra one



 
I need to stop reading this thread. It makes me want to play, but I know that if I start again I'll enjoy it for a while, and then it will became repetative because of a lack of finite goal.
 
No, mememe what you need to do is start another topic. :smiley:

Do you play any other retro-stuff?
 
My dog might end up blind in one eye...

Took her to the veterinarian yesterday, and she has a corneal ulcer (small hole/tear in the outer membrane) and uveitis (buildup of white cells in the lower section of the inside part of the eye - makes it look cloudy) in her left eye. I have to give her an antibiotic pill (for the infection) once a day and one drop of a pain killer/antibiotic (to help the ulcer heal) three times a day in her left eye.

She seems to be doing okay other than that. The vet said that if it's not healing like it should by Friday (when she goes in for a follow-up), he may need to prescribe steroids for it; something he doesn't really want to do. If that doesn't help, she would require surgery. With the ulcer still there, he wont be able to treat the uveitis. If the ulcer gets worse, she may end up having blood seep into the section of the eye that has the uveitis. If he cant get rid of the uveitis, she may become blind in that eye. :undecided:
 
I tried a Start Trek game on the A1200. 8 CDs and took forever to load. Ugh.

@dii's dog - best of luck.

Mine is only one cd, and it's an older game - you build all of your things including ships, starbases and shiptyards from scratch.

Best of luck to Dii's dog from me also.



 
My sister gave me a Star Trek game, Judgement Rites for the PC. It's old and I had a hard time getting it to work even on my old PC running Windows 98 SE. I haven't bothered since.

Hope your dog pulls through, Lynn. :thumbsup:

I'd love to find Wing Commander, I had such great times with that game. It was the one that got me into Space Simulators. The graphics weren't horrible either and actually giving commands to wingmen and being able to taunt the enemy were a big part of the fun. Later I discovered Freespace near the end of it's life cycle when everyone else was playing Freespace 2. By the time I beat the first one, Freespace 2 wasn't around anymore but luckily there was a source code project and I was able to download the original and the new improved version as well. :jig:

To be fair it was top edge and should be run on an A4000. I was using an A1200 030 with 2mb Ram. Oh the day I bought a 3.5" one gig HD for that machine! :grin:
 
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. My dog is a freak, that's all there is to it. :laugh:

A full day of treatment for her eye, and it seems to be clearing up a bit already. It's doesn't look quite so cloudy; I can actually see the uveitis now. But that's not what makes her a freak. What makes her a freak is that the last two times she saw me take her eye drops out of the cupboard and get the warm cloth ready, she would go insane and do her "freak dog dance" (something silly she came up with in response to me when I greeted her after coming home from work when she was very young) for a couple of minutes. I would have to get her to calm down before I could tend to her eye.

What makes it weird/(sort of funny) is that I'm not sure if she's excited about the white bottle (her eye drops) that gives relief, or the fact that she gets a treat when I'm done tending to her.

It doesn't seem to be bothering her overall, in a sense that it's more of an annoyance for her than anything. She doesn't keep it closed, hasn't been rubbing it on anything (at least not while I'm at home), and she hasn't "complained" (behaved like it was hurting her) about it really. She's still playful, and as full of energy as she always has been (which also means she's not having any kind of bad reaction to the medication).

The only time it seems to bother her (of course) is when I have to clean around her eye before I put the drops in it. I think she's going to be fine, just from what I've seen after only the first day. But there is still the possibility the uveitis wont clear up, which has a chance of causing blindness. Even if she did go blind in that eye, I honestly don't think it would slow her down at all.

I will say once again that my dog is truely a freak, but that's why I love her so much. :cloud9:
 
I used to have a dog also, we're going back about 12 years. He died from a rare disease that targets humans more than it does animals. Anyways in life he was an odd dog, a half Lab half Golden Retreiver mix. He was a knucklehead of a dog and looked very much like this.

...brings a tear to me eye whenever i see a dog like that:sad:

Like i said, he was a nut, he drank coffee, ate lettuce, and chased the cat around the house at 2am.

...Still have the leash and bowls somewhere.
 
I like dogs but being out at work all day, I didn't think it was fair to have one. Cats at least amuse themselves. Hiding from mice in the case of my two.

ROFL.

Speaking of mice, we were walking the dog (years ago) and the cat usually joined us outside as well, both the cat and dog were best of friends - go figure. Anyways one night the cat caught a mouse .. and smart dog goes and steals the live mouse from the cat and goes to eat it. Mouse moves in dog' mouth and dog spits out mouse and backs off with a "WTF??" look on his mutt face.



 
Wing Commander is a blast, Freespace was also fun but it borrowed a lot from the superior TIE Fighter.

For Star Trek games, I recall 25th Anniversary being very good, Generations was also fun albeit very buggy.
