As with all older games, my advice would be to check out the PC Gaming Wiki for advice on the best way to get them to run on a modern rig. By and large, the vast majority of point and click games will work best with SCUMMVM but not all so it's worth reading up if you want the best experience. Also bear in mind with DOS games that the official release of DOSBox hasn't been updated in... Never mind, scratch that. Apparently they've started releasing builds on the stable trunk again. It's been such a long gap between releases that I never went to check until now. The SVN (subversion) builds are still worth checking out though. They add extra features or are made for more precise emulation. More useful for demos than games but still might be handy.

Do you think that if you suddenly come into such an insane amount of money the FBI approaches you and warns you about having any funny ideas about forming your own small army to go fight Isil or buying aircraft carriers for a laugh or some such? I mean at two and a half bill it's a little more than just finally being able to purchase your dream mansion in the Cotswolds. Even if you buy another one for your mum.

About time GiantBomb just commandeered Danny from GameSpot already. You guys could do with a Europe correspondent and they already have one in the fine gentleman that is Justin Calvert.

I think my reaction concerning exorbitance here is how IndieGoGo get ten grand out of this. Someone explain to me how they can justify that one, apart from the obvious reason that they bothered to make the company in the first place and there isn't much competition out there.

Also, haven't see any mention of Z0NE at all; yes the Flash porn guy, don't pretend you don't know who. Squigly is based on his titular character and he's tweeted hard about the fund-raiser which is fair enough, the guy has a lot of followers (I wonder why) and he's getting some legacy here. Oh and he did do a Skull Girls porn as you may be wondering so there's that too.

Majority of comments giving a perfect example to when people don't read an article in full but still voice their useless reaction to just the headline.

Thanks EmoHobo! Adding an exception for @@||vidtech.cbsinteractive.com/plugins/*_adplugin.swf worked just dandy.

For Firefox and Adblock Plus users (like me) who are stuck:

  1. Tools -> Add-Ons
  2. Extensions -> Adblock Plus
  3. Filter preferences...
  4. Custom Filters
  5. Show/hide filters (if they are hidden)- either right click on a filter (e.g. New filter group if you haven't already been fiddling) or Ctrl-R
  6. Add Filter
  7. Paste @@||vidtech.cbsinteractive.com/plugins/*_adplugin.swf and hit Return / Enter
  8. Untick / uncheck the box next to your new exception
  9. ?????
  10. PROFIT

Me too. Sorry Jeff but you'll need to clarify that it's until the start of the day rather than the end next time. I'm afraid I can't afford full price right now but I was ready to sign up as a cheap-ass today. Guess I'll just have to wait until the next sale (or get a job rather than watch all these damn videos ;D )

Wow, I'm actually thinking this is a great idea. It's far easier to point where you'd like your dudes to go, and what to do, than clicking I would expect. It might even be possible to play in real-time this way now that you have this much control. Awesome, about the only reason I'd possibly invest in one.
