@jake4480 No I can't.. It doesn't know half of them.

@Jayenkai really! 🤯 that's what happens to me on music sites like record.club. Doesn't have my favorite albums of 2023 or 2024 in its database 🙄😂
Show threadJake in the desertMar 4
@Jayenkai oh - and out of curiosity, what are the ones it doesn't know?
Show threadJayenkai [ J-N-K ]Mar 4
@jake4480 Couldn't get either Lemmings II or Frontier : Elite II to show up. I presume that's a "number confusion" issue, though. Seems odd that it doesn't have those.
Trex Warrior also doesn't show up.

@Jayenkai that's so weird. I was having various errors here and there on the site, aside from translating it, wouldn't load at first, etc..

@jake4480 Centipede was my fave back in the day! Only arcade game I ever got remotely good at.
Show threadJake in the desertMar 4
@donutage ha! Oh HELL yes!! Centipede is my favorite arcade game, and all-time favorite game, too. I have a lil Centipede collection, I should get a full family pic 😂 my dream of course is the upright cab. Someday. Bucket list. My wife knows. 😂🤣

@jake4480 Wow, not many folks I know out there who have also played Burger Time. But Diablo, that’s where it’s at!
Show threadJake in the desertMar 4

@therealahall 😀😀 BurgerTime is huge for me, it and Frogger were the first 2 games I played at a friends house on their Intellivision. So damn good. Later played the arcade version. And there are some decent ports for it! Even Deluxe on GB.

Yeah, I'm a fanatic for the first Diablo. Tristram is the background on my phone and computers haha. I'm thinking of starting up a new run soon, I now have my PS1 mini hooked up on my desk here to a big monitor, to play on work breaks (I wfh).

I beat it in 2003 with rogue, years before that with warrior, but have never beat it with sorcerer. 😥 was thinking of trying that. Might just do warrior though.

@jake4480 Oh man, I think I’ve done mage and warrior but never rogue. Maybe I should do that 🤔

But yeah Tristram has such a home in my heart, the soundtrack still gets regular rotations for me.

@therealahall did you beat it with sorcerer?!? Brutal. Rogue was NOT tough. Warrior is probably easier. But if you did sorcerer, rogue would be a cakewalk 😂
Show threadAaronMar 5
@jake4480 Yeah that was my favorite way to play in fact. It starts out rough but by the end you are so OP that Diablo almost becomes a snooze fest.
Show threadJake in the desertMar 5
@therealahall wow! What are some tips early game? I always get killed by the Butcher 😂
Show threadAaronMar 5

@jake4480 RUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!!!!!!

Lol in all honesty, you’ve gotta kite like an MFer in the early game or do the firewall trick where you open the door, cast firewall on the first square in front of it, and then close it again. Gotta be quick with that one though because it’s easy to mess up the clicks.

Show threadJake in the desertMar 5
@therealahall ah, yeah the firewall and closed door might do it, yeah. He's a mean bastard 😂

@jake4480 Welp, you got me there with Moria, a game I didn't know about. Then again I wasn't in to actual Rogue clones at the time.
