I would say the one from Callahan's Crosstime Saloon is also up there. Better inventory system, but no custom verb entry field.

Looks like some value likely overflows and ends up being written in the area where the symbol graphic is stored. It increases with years. Probably some counter.

But yeah, it's *really* functional. And it even includes an optional dll for even closer integration with Fusion where you can essentially control any object's properties directly from the scripts (that can also be external).

It's a shame that it is short on examples and tutorials, because imo this free third party plugin really elevates Fusion to another level.

You can connect it to whatever you want, you just have to be aware that it predates General MIDI, and expects intelligent input, so your options of using it properly are limited.
However, on PC you can use any regular sound card & SoftMPU program to simulate intelligent mode.

 Wed Jan 20 21:56:05 +0000 2021

... that's your vintage PC option. On a modern PC you can plug it in using a USB-to-MIDI cable, and use it in conjunction with DosBox, ScummVM, or any MIDI player capable of intelligent mode output.

I've read the critiques, and I'm still not sure what would be a better representation of data with this many parameters. And a pie chart certainly can't account for it, since it includes not just total quantities, but passage of time as well.

So Half-Life: Alyx mostly passes then?

 Sat Jan 23 00:01:30 +0000 2021

What it has is ALL the options, which is very nice for a VR game, obviously thanks to its budget. Teleport is definitely one of them, and how I played the game. Actually I used the zap-teleport option. It visibly jumps you to the next spot in like a half of a second.

 Sat Jan 23 00:06:14 +0000 2021

Example: https://x.com/dosnostalgic/status/1242489193240109058

 Sat Jan 23 00:08:32 +0000 2021

It's a very good game with incredibly high production value for a VR game. Just be aware that it has several prominent horror levels, in addition to straight shooty ones, and that it contains spoilers for Half-Life 2.

 Sat Jan 23 00:11:39 +0000 2021

I found Alyx very easy as far as shooting goes. But I also don't think original Half-Life gets overly difficult until you get about 2/3rds of the game in. Then it's *definitely* pretty hard even for a seasoned player.

 Sat Jan 23 00:21:29 +0000 2021

I've played plenty of terrible freeware and shareware games over the years, and I hate Sierra's Phantasmagoria with a passion, but I don't think it's fair to call any of them "worst" objectively. However, the most bafflingly bad *retail* DOS game for me is Capstone's Zorro. https://x.com/RavenArcher774/status/1353782299649744896

 Wed Jan 27 14:19:31 +0000 2021

Zorro is just a giant "Why?!" over and over. I've played more broken games, sure, but there's just something about this one. If you're wondering if it's worse than TekWar, I can easily answer YES.

 Wed Jan 27 14:21:37 +0000 2021

TekWar is very objectively better.

 Wed Jan 27 14:22:10 +0000 2021

Don't forget that some levels are clearly in the wrong order!

 Wed Jan 27 14:24:30 +0000 2021

I also invite EVERYONE to attempt to play Capstone's Zorro. Something about the game makes the frustration of trying to play it funny, so at least it's gonna be a memorable experience.

 Wed Jan 27 14:27:13 +0000 2021
