Terror from the Deep on Valve

Thu Jun 28, 2007 4:48 pm

Quite dated (320x200 resolution) but a great gameplay (and really cheap). XP compatible thanks to Valve it seems. I like the comment on the mouse too ;)

[...] XP compatible thanks to Valve it seems.[...]

There was a Win95/98 version of Terror From the Deep, once sold in the X-COM Collector's Edition. This version runs also under XP :)
But Valve/Steam is the only shop of online games where I will never buy again, to much trouble and terrible customer service.

I remember Space Quest 4 being hailed as a graphic wonder because it was one of the first games using 256 color VGA... :)

Ha! My kids and I used to play this non stop. I sucked at it. I may fail my morale check and have to get it.

"Enemy Unknown" is still one of my favorite games! I learned how to make victory effortless, too! (I trained a whole buncha guys to be top notch psionic guys, capable of never-fail "mind control"! I'd just leave 'em on the little space shuttle, and send in a few commandos for recon! :D )

Even though it was easy, I still loved playing it because you just never knew what was going to pop up, next! It was so creepy, in a really cool way!

Like, one time I was trying to clear one of the Battleships (before I'd completed my cadre of Psionic dudes), and I reached this intersection of hallways just in time to see a Chrysalid or whatever they were called disappear into a doorway. I definitely wanted to kill it next turn, after chasing it down... but it turned out that I didn't have to hunt it. Nope. That's because one of my guys came running to help out on that same turn, which let me see that the Chrysalid was right behind me, ready to snack on me! :eek: It had moved thru the room, then out into the hallway so that it was behind me! Man, those things could move fast! :D

Thanks for the memories! :thumbsup:

Gee, I saw the title of this thread and I thought someone had seen the Tonnage Board and recognized that my U-80 was sending chills through every tramp steamer making the North Atlantic circuit. :)

ahhhhh, what good games. Though TFTD was slightly too difficult. Lobstermen were really unkillable, IIRC.

Master of Magic I still play from time to time, on the dosbox. Windowed. Fullscreen is eye-killing today.

OH MY GOD!!!... What memories!!! ... I remember my father* gave my that game as a present for one of my birthdays... can't remember which exactly right now... :bonk: :D


*It was obviously "my parents", but my mom was against computer games on that time because I "wasted too much time on them"... so, I am sure my father was behind that idea... :D
