            N? I’m not sure if you know but there were 2 (incredible) sequels, N+ (360, DS, etc) and N++ (XBone, PS4, etc. Maybe Vita?). Both are great, N++ is the best possible version of the game IMO (it’s got SO MUCH content, levels, customization, music, modes, etc) but either is worth picking up. Enjoy ;)

      That pizza delivery game was a favourite of mine as a kid. I don’t think adultswim still has the games, but there’s other sites that have them.

    We used to get video games in the captain crunch box or in exchange for tokens on the crunch boxes or something to that effect… anyway that was essentially just a flash game but equally if not more interested. Got a lot of mileage out of that crunchwrare game in the 90s

    For me, it’s the fact that every god damned program I want to use requires a fucking subscription.

    Shout out to fucking Blender and GIMP and InkScape. They’re really keeping shit cool.

    So sick of this “pay to play” structure we now have on EVERYTHING.

    I actually made a random game you can play without login or tracking or anything. Dunno if it’s any fun, though 🤔

    And you need a keyboard to play. Otherwise it’s just a screensaver.

    Sorry about the plug, but I am kinda proud of it.

        There’s some optimization, like not drawing anything out of view, but other than that I guess it’s just the case of this game not really doing all that much, and the physics is delegated to a third party library.

          I never had Chex Quest either due to being British and that promotion happening in the US but I’d check out that remastered version on Steam if you want a free and fun FPS.
