Destructoid: The Silver Lining is here, play it now

Destructoid — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000

We told you about the fact that Activision had actually greenlit The Silver Lining, a fan-made King's Quest game, a few weeks ago. We told you the first chapter was coming out this weekend for free. When we told you that it was free many of you had trouble believing that Activision would not try to make money off of the game, and maybe you doubted the validity of the story. Well, today proves the story correct as you can now download the first chapter of the game over at the game's webiste.

The release of the game also came with that trailer up above and the screenshots below. That's one cheesy song in that trailer, but I think we can cut them a bit of slack since they've been working on the game forever. My download is going on right now and I'm all revved up to dive back into the world of King's Quest.

Tell us what you think once you get a chance to dig in.

Retro Gaming Life: Currently Gaming?

Well I should be doing this more often since I have been getting into gaming in a more serious fashion! Anyways, I decided to return to the world of Conquer just a little bit ago. Yeah, I am back in the world of endless hunting and pking sprees but sadly things aren't the same like in the good old days. As to kill time until Final Fantasy XIV hits the stores, I will be playing some of these MMORPGs out there and who knows maybe seriously play some of these in the end. So far it has been a very odd hunt on Conquer as all my friends have move on to other games or no games at all.

Another game I have been gaming in the past week is Diablo 2 for the PC as well. This game looks dated but it's as good as the day it was released. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't played it to pick it up. I want to get online experience which I will do very soon.

Other titles I have been going through are Gimmick! famicom , Super C NES , Winning Eleven PS2 , and Parasite Ever PS1 . That's all for now

DOS Month Day 10: Skunny

DOS Month Day 10 — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 07:45:00 +0000

Now here is a treat for everyone! Skunny is one of the most incredible side scrollers ever!! Just kidding! I decided to mention this game because I have known a lot of gamers from the past that have come into play with these cheaply made games.....yeah sure they loved it...The game is simple, side scroller with crappy sounds and I think the rodent talks to you in some of them. Yes, there are various games in the series. I still would recommend this so that you can get the experience of just a side scroller, nothing great, nothing amazing, just a jump and get through the level game. Enjoy :

DOS Month Day 9: Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar

DOS Month Day 9 — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 07:30:00 +0000

Another day, another pick. This time around we have an RPG that really takes me back. With the command lines, ability to attack civilians, and a great story quest of the avatar stands out as one of my favorite Ultima games. The game has very basic gameplay with interesting commands. You will have to learn them all and check out a tutorial or instruction manual to be able to advance in this game. The game is known to have a good PC speaker sound track and even though many won't appreciate that, to me the sound is heaven. Anyways, enough said go check it out!

DOS Month Day 8: Duke Nukem 2

DOS Month Day 8 — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 07:25:00 +0000

Just another one of those days with no internet for a while....well anyways, this game is just another one of apogees gems, with action packed side scrolling gameplay, this game is a must play especially since this is Duke's last adventure in 2D...well kinda.... The game has a lot of interesting concepts like the usual soda that heals you but if you shoot it, you lose the soda booohoooo....just don't shoot the turkey please!! That one heals you all together. With improved graphics, great sound track also PC speaker! , and great level design this game is one not to be ignored! Hope you can check out and enjoy this classic Duke adventure. Then go 3D!
