Why would I want to bother to do any of that in the first place is the real question here

288GB of mostly pointless and total crap if you ask me

I would rather waste my time coding a donkey kong with haxe. And I probably won't.

How can you post something so fucking stupid? If you don't want to, don't. What is the point of posting that?

The archive, on the one hand, is partly nostalgia for nerds partly and important historical archive. On the other, if there is a game that you liked, you download just one game and run that.

I downloaded one game I liked because I want to recode it in a more useful game engine and could not remember the exact game mechanics. It was really interesting documenting the game mechanics and without the original as reference I couldn't have guessed at the deviously great mechanics built into the game.

Why do all forum conversations end up in a cul de sac of stupidity?

lol

No

It's as important as a collection of keychains historically speaking. Pretty much just like mame, in the entire game set, maybe 1% is worth saving/remembering, the rest is either just very average if not outright shit not even worth a click

The world doesn't need a second command and conquer, or a second doom, or a second anything

I've played openra for a couple of weeks lately, tiberian dawn

I realised it was just a retarded game in the end, a waste of time, disk space and bandwidth

And that's maybe the most important thing to remember in hindsight

On the one hand. And yet, who the fuck are you to decide for the whole world?

All you have managed to say is "you like to decorate your house this way and no other way".

I mean, congratulations?

How do you manage to be right and simultaneously straddle that Clydesdale of stupidity at the same time? Talking to you is like watching a Liveleak video of a guy slowly drilling a hole in his skull with a butter knife. It's utterly fascinating.
