Ho-ho-ho!

Hey, we're a whole week into the CSIPGA Holiday Give-Away; how 'bout
that? And we've only just begun. Even if you aren't liking /all/ the
games on offer, I hope you are still finding them more welcome than
the years-old fruitcake and boring office-parties-with-the-boss that
make up the rest of the season. Although pretty much ANYTHING is
better than those office parties...

We got more games today, of course. We got two of the 'duplicate old
DOS games nobody wants', and _even I_ think they're so awful and
unwelcome that I just had to throw in TWO more modern games to make up
for it. This one time, I'll forgive you all for not taking up the
option to claim these games. ;-)

* Paganitzu
https://store.steampowered.com/app/358230/Paganitzu/
One of Apogee's earliest platformers, and boy howdy
does it look it. It could be worse --at least it's
16-colour EGA instead of 4-colour CGA-- but its got
PC Speaker sounds and very basic gameplay. You really
gotta love classic PC platformers to want these. In
fact, I dare you --no, I double dog dare you!-- to
claim this game. But I know you won't, 'cause you're
too chicken! (reverse psychology still works,
right?;-)
Unobfuscated Key #1: 32AHN-XV7CD-CPA63 and
Key #2: K5TDX-6V97E-34B94

* Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock
https://store.steampowered.com/app/544610/Battlestar_Galactica_Deadlock/
You can probably guess what this game is like just by 270CC
the title. You can certainly guess it's license (although
it's sadly based on the 2004 remake series and not the 8YE4B
classic series from the 70s).The gameplay itself is turn-
based strategy, although its visuals impart a lot sense
of a lot of frenetic action. It's not the deepest game,
but it's a lot more fun than you might expect given its
origins. I didn't stick with the game very long myself,
but the short time I spent was enjoyable enough. I TD5W6
think it's worth a look.

* Ampersat
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1356040/Ampersat/
We'll round out today's offerings with a Rogue-like RPG.
"Ampersat" uses a combination of ASCII characters (mostly
for the monsters) and modern graphics, and some of the 5WEB3
gameplay is a bit more Zelda than true Rogue, but it still
plays pretty true to its origin. It's a bit niche --I think
the people who will most enjoy this one are the ones who JW7BX
enjoyed classic "Rogue" or "Angband"-- but if you fall 2NNEC
into that grouping you'll probably have a lot of fun.

Rejoice! That was the last of the duplicated Apogee games! Now any
duplicates that pop up (yes, there are a couple) will be of a more
modern vintage. But what games are they? You'll have to stick around
to find out!

Oh, and before I forget:

Ho-ho-ho!

Thank you Spalls. I think I may fall into that niche. I took this one.

I'm too late! "The product code you've entered has already been
activated by a different Steam account. This code cannot be used again.
Please contact the retailer or online seller where the code was
purchased for assistance." Boo! It looks interesting though. I might
like it.

What about distributed by Apogee and 3D Realms? ;)

Oddly enough, there aren't that many (any?) James Bond games available
for sale on Steam or GOG.* There really aren't that many James Bond
games available on PC, for that matter. Or in general. For such a
long-lasting and popular franchise, there are a lot fewer games than
you'd expect, and most of those were released on console.

But while I can't offer you a way to get a legally licensed copy, you
CAN play a PC James Bond game here:
https://archive.org/details/msdos_James_Bond_007_-_Goldfinger_1986

That's almost as good, right? ;-)

-----
* In fairness, I didn't do the most intensive search. There are a
couple of James Bond-related cosmetic expansions for other games,
though

Too bad there wasn't a PC port of Goldeneye. I know there are emulators, but still.

>Too bad there wasn't a PC port of Goldeneye. I know there are emulators, but still.

There were SOME James Bond games for PC. Aside from the aforementioned
Golden Eye, I also know of "License to Kill" (1989), "The Stealth
Affair" (1990), "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1990), "007 Nightfire" (2002)
and "Quantum of Solance" (2008) and "007: Bloodstone" (2010). Many of
which also appeared on console.

But consoles got the a lot more games; "GoldenEye" of course was the
most famous, but the list also includes "James Bond Jr" (SNES), "The
Duel" (Genesis), "Tomorrow Never Dies", The World Is Not Enough", "007
Racing", "Everything Or Nothing", "Rogue Agent", "From Russia With
Love" and "007 Legends" (all on Playstations), in addition to a
variety of hand-held specific games.

Still, the total list is pretty sparse, given the franchise is sixty
years old and the first Bond game came out on the Spectrum. Depending
on how you count them, there are more "Might & Magic" games than Bond
titles. And almost none of them are available for purchase anymore.

Seems like wasted profits to me. Then again, a lot of them probably
have immense licensing problems since they use the likeness of actors
and whatnot, so I guess it's just not worth the effort to the
publishers.

You gotta hammer in the nails with a real crucifix. Ever smash your
thumb with a hammer? I'd take a toothpick over that any day)

(the crucified probably would agree too. Remember kids; friends don't
crucify their friends. Not even on a dare ;-)
