(Part 2) Top products from r/AskGames

You might really like the Majesty games. The first is aged but is still considered a playable classic by many. (I've played it a bit in the last couple months.) The second lacks some charm of its predecessor and often feels like a puzzle to solve, but the style of play is unique.

Given that you like AoE, you may also like Rise of Nations or its fantasy counterpart, Rise of Legends.

Rise of Nations has a new EE version available, and the game is a lot of fun if you like quasi-nation builders like AoE and Civilization. (The lead designer was involved with Civilization 2 and Alpha Centauri, and those roots show through a bit with RoN.)

Rise of Legends is a more difficult option, only because I think you'd have to grab a physical copy somewhere. Many gamers, myself included, prefer this addition because the steampunk flavor of the game works so well.

As someone who also loves FFX (My personal favorite FF), I think you should try to play it yourself. Sure the graphics are a little, meh, but there's still plenty of fun to be had. I started with FFX then went back to play FF7 in later years and was still able to enjoy it quite a bit.

If you have a ps3 you can buy it (digital download) on PSN for $10 I think. Or, if you have a PS1 / 2 you can get it on ebay or amazon (For about $25 is seems, or 30 for greatest hits version: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00000JRSB/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used ) or if you're feeling lucky you can try Craigslist.

I've heard bad things about the PC version, so I can't really recommend that. If PC is your only option, you might as well emulate it.

First off: as a rule of thumb, "gaming" anything is a big red warning sign unless you're buying mice and mousepads (or in recent years some models of mechanical keyboards).

Gaming headsets are in general overpriced and have a short product life span due to the (usually non-removable, non-replacable) cheap mics dying well before the headphones themselves pass.

As far as I'm concerned, the only reasonable option in terms of price-efficiency is to get a pair of proper headphones (Sennheiser HD555 would be top contender for the sub-100 dollar range if you can find them) and a table or clip-on mic.

The Zalman Mic1 is probably the most price-efficient mic in existence. The mic quality is more than good enough for talking and they are more durable than one would expect for the price.

If you're willing to get spendy with the headphone part I would recommend my current pair: Audio-Technica ATH-AD900. Some of the best sound quality I've had the pleasure of getting acquainted with.

Masters of Doom. Tells the story of John Carmack and John Romero. Touches games like Commander Keen, Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, Daikatana and Deus Ex.

It's not the best written book I read, but certainly one of the ones I enjoyed the most.

I read it a few months back and if you have questions about content, lenght or other stuff, feel free to ask.

Black and White?

Jurassic Park Chaos Island (Not sure what's up with the Metro 2033 logo there).


DinoPark Tycoon

I'm not sure about Petz but you can search Amazon and see if anything that comes up matches what you're looking for. Amazon is a decent spot to search for older games because you get the websites and people who are selling used copies through Amazon as well.

I just got this clip on jawn and it works really well for this purpose. My xbone controller has bluetooth so no wires or anything, it just works.

Might want to look into a steam controller and a clip for that if you don't want to be as restricted with the games you play.

I've had good luck with these guys in the past, but they're designed to fit a specific phone model and they won't fit if the phone has a case on it. It worked very well when I had it, but the above caveats meant that I had to take the case off every time I wanted to use it, and it was completely useless after I upgraded my phone.

To my best knowledge, and I've looked, there is no legitimate digital source of The Sims 1, and there never has been. Even if there was, EA pulled Sims 2 from Steam the same day they removed it from Origin with no warning at all, and I'm sure the same would have happened to TS1.

You could try Ebay or a retro games store in the hopes of getting a physical box but they're all over a decade out of print, so it's highly unlikely you'll find it.

EDIT Apparently a physical box wouldn't be hard to get: http://www.amazon.com/The-Sims-Simulator-Creator-SimCity-Pc/dp/B000040OEI just one left in stock though.

Here's one i found: http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Video-Composite-Selector-Switch-Gamecube/dp/9867299434

Its a cheap price and possibly poorly made but theirs other ones on Amazon. You could check Gamestop.

Alright here you go: http://www.amazon.com/The-Sting-Pc/dp/B00005NHEK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344561117&sr=8-1&keywords=the+sting+pc

I totally agree that it's sketchy as fuck, but Op seems to have the game working now.

The game is popular enough, it could be found elsewhere easily though. If anyone wants a legit copy, http://www.amazon.com/Dino-Crisis-2-Pc/dp/B00007BGOJ seems to work although being in Canada I'm sure as hell not ordering at that price.

Is that game for GBA ?

If it is that one, you get it from amazon here:

I remember there was a one-handed controller for the Sony Playstation from Agetec. It might be a viable option with a PS to USB convertor. It seems to be fairly cheap on the US Amazon site and eBay.

You don't always need to set the axis to it. A lot of them have an analog stick where your thumb would be.

Like this. Though it is for right-handers.

I had this one when I was younger, I think this is what you're looking for. Definitly buy a used one.

It has Galaxian, Dig Dug, Pac Man, Rally X, and Bosconian

Even the same developer as FE

Playstation Store has some stuff.

There seems to be an official artbook.

That's what I can find as far as "official" merch. Found one poster, but it was sold out... so most other stuff will either be unofficial or secondhand.

Forget the Xbox HD-AV pack, and go for a Xbox Digital Av Cable.

All you need to look for is the Component cable (red/green/blue), and audio.

Xbox Cable ($23)
Dreamcast Adapter ($27)
