The following post is part of a series of posts that are published every Sunday to update readers on what Mark G has been up to with respect to finishing off games on his "Pile of Shame". The games to target are picked by Choicest Games contributors Choona, Luke and myself. As I'll be talking about my progress through these games, there may be spoilers ahead, especially for games containing a narrative. Consider yourself warned.
Megarace 2
- Picked by Me
- Percentage Complete = 100%
Okay, I tried one last time to beat
Megarace 2 this week and GOG Galaxy was really against me... it even closed the game down when I was doing really well, just because the connection was lost! WTF? What does the status of my Internet connection have to do with playing an old single-player DOS game from the 90s? Anyway, in the eleventh hour when I was sure I had to give up for good, I finally managed to get past the Bayou map and finish Bronx (the final map) in one go (Bronx was really easy in comparison).
So now that
Megarace 2 is out of the way, time to move onto something else: I'm thinking of another retro game:
Master of Orion 2 perhaps?
Hand of Fate
- Picked by Me
- Percentage Complete = 91%
On hold while I'm playing other games. 😊
Stardew Valley
- Picked by Me
- Percentage Complete = 20%
On hold while I'm playing other games. 😊
The Testament of Sherlock Holmes
- Picked by Me
- Percentage Complete = 25%
I haven't made any further progress on this – it's now on hold while I am distracted by... well... a lot of other games 😊.
Battlefield 1
- Picked by Me
- Percentage Complete = 10%
I haven't made any further progress on this – it's now on hold while I am distracted by... well... a lot of other games 😊.
Door Kickers
- Picked by Luke
- Percentage Complete = 18%
Played a new mission called "House Call"; must be missions where you get to kill all the terrorists in their base. I also had a hostage rescue mission in a bank. Shortly after this mission, I made sure to make lockpicking machines available to all my crew since it took a very long time to pick the lock on the bank vault (and I had no choice but to unlock it since the terrorists had deposited some hostages in there)! I even got to try a couple of bomb defusal missions where you've now got a time limit before it's game over. Consequently, I can't take my sweet time anymore when I play these missions (which is what I often do) and you really have to PTFO (i.e. potentially ignoring the urge to clear the map of hostiles first).
Nothing
- Picked by Choona
- Percentage Complete = 0%
I'm still playing
Town of Salem as it's that good, and Choona has still not picked a new game for me to play yet – oh well, means I get a break of sorts 😊 (and hopefully some time to catch up with reviews!)
