I don't blame ya there. Has me rethinking the repair on my old compressor. It's just a small sideways tank on wheels. I'm not sure how many gallons but it has pinholes on the underside where it wasn't drained everytime. The condensation rusted it through I guess. I was going to bend a plate to the shape and weld a new underside on it but now I'm paranoid 
. It's over 30 years old and I'm not exactly a master welder. Nyeeeh, I'll probably wind up trying it anyway lol.
Yeah I can see how right angles would play a lot nicer to a 66hz processor. Hadn't considered what a real task SOM was for computers back then. simpler the better. I guess thats still true for modern machines too though. 40K poly models are a real drain on what I have today. Creaturas skeleton had smoke ready to poof out of the graphics card I think lol.
You read my mind man. Gonna try n go for a nice blend of puzzles, action and gameplay and some humor thrown in for good measure I guess any kind of story to it would be an improvement too since there isn't one so thats wide open.
Originally the keys/crowns were just laying there to grab at the end of each map. The challenges were just dodging enemies, grabbing the item and running out alive. There were only 4 enemies. Snakes, zombies, spiders and the orbs. The only defense you had was dropping lil crosses the baddies would get stuck on and 4 scrolls to find & use ... freeze, confuse, protect & an HP scroll to give ya a lil more life. This fella put up a vid if you wanna see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXQgKCgkX1o
I liked playing the older silent hill, tomb raider and resident evil games for the puzzles and thinking involved not to mention a real 3D environment was a new thing back then. Even the controls were a puzzle to figure out lol. They seem to have gotten away from a lot of puzzle solving now though. I love the elder scroll games too but they basically just have me running errands most of the time lol. Oh btw I earned a housecarl for lakeview manor in hearthfire. She reminds me of Zula (Grace Jones) from Conan the Destroyer especially when I put a copper and onyx circlet on her head
I think why I loved playing the Kingsfield games so much ( and still do) was the mystery and challenge of it all. They gave ya almost no information from the get go and just tossed ya in and said sink or swim. Hidden 'special' weapons, rare drops, etc gave a sense of accomplishment. The music and atmosphere were great. Story behind everything was good. seemed to have it all
