If that email interface doesn't scream 90s, I don't know what will! And wait until you see their website. Straight out of Frontpage Express. Uh… that was a horrible "WYSIWYG" website editor from Microsoft in case you don't remember. #JaggedAlliance2, the game in which this virtual mail application and those virtual websites appear, has aged a bit better, thankfully.

duuude did #chrono just make a sale specifically for me?!

I've been slightly irked by the right mouse button activating twice per click while playing #JaggedAlliance2. Thought it was related to the game being old and its timing misbehaving for the clicks.
BUT this game just did the same thing. So ... My mouse might be starting to act up?
I'm so out of the loop, what are people getting these days? Don't think I need actual gaming stuff. Currently using Razer Lycosa and Copperhead.
In other news, I just finished #JaggedAlliance2. The ending is always a bit anticlimactic I guess, but then it feels more realistic that the queen isn't an OP bullet sponge.
Her behaviour is a little unexpected when you turn up in her panic room. She's a civilian, and you can interact with her as such. You can talk to her, but she doesn't surrender, or beg for her life, anything like that. To my surprise, there aren't even any specific voice lines when Miguel talks to her.
I've thought about why I enjoy playing #JaggedAlliance2 so much. Usually a game this old would be a #nostalgia trip for the most part, but it's something else here, I don't feel nostalgic.
I think it's the uncompromising depth of its systems, but without overwhelming the player with information. Instead, you get a feel for what does and doesn't work.
Still working with Iggy in #JaggedAlliance2. Both Carlos and Miguel have voiced their concern about him being on the team.
He's been loyal though so far. Dunno if he'll betray us in the throne room. Don't think it'd do him much good anyway.
I... just disarmed a mine and a trap there. Where tf are those enemies coming from?!
#JaggedAlliance2
I've bought 5.7 ammo whenever I saw it for sale, since it's rare.
I never found a weapon that uses it, and I'm standing at the gates of Meduna now.
Also I haven't encountered a single active mine in my entire campaign. All my mercs are carrying metal detectors because I've had bad experiences in the past.
#JaggedAlliance2 btw.
Went by truck, arrived early. Now waiting for night time. #JaggedAlliance2
In #JaggedAlliance2 habe ich gerade Iggy angeheuert.
Mein letzter Playthrough ist etwas her, aber ich hab' irgendwie ein schlechtes Gefühl dabei? Als würde er mich verraten? Er sagte dass er mit Mike gearbeitet hatte (der tot ist) und als er über die Mission nachgedacht hat die Seiten wechseln wollte. Und nun wolle er die Verräter aufmischen. Man kann ja über Deidrannas Regime vieles sagen, aber "Verräter"?
Und warum hat er beim ersten Feindkontakt daneben geschossen??
... und dass man 2000 $ für einen Helikopterflug ausgibt um für 1000 $ Waffen in San Mona zu verkaufen lohnt sich doch oder?
(more #JaggedAlliance2)
Dass man in #JaggedAlliance2 alle Items an einem Ort zusammensammelt ist doch normal oder? Und das man einen Söldner rekrutiert der nur dort sitzt und Items repariert auch. Oder?
Ist eigentlich mal jemandem aufgefallen dass die eine Explosion im Intro von #JaggedAlliance2 wie die Chronosphäre aus #CommandAndConquer #RedAlert klingt?
Na gut, wenn #JaggedAlliance2 jetzt sogar ruckelt dann geh' ich halt schlafen.
Plan für heute, nicht #JaggedAlliance2 bis 3:00 Uhr morgens spielen
*gähn*
I just bought #JaggedAlliance2 on #gog because the alternative would've been going down to the cellar and trying to find the original discs.
And I'm already in my pyjamas.
So, some thoughts on #JaggedAlliance #boardgames then:
There's a bunch of small issues I've had with the game - things that feel like the result of an inexperienced team working on their first boardgame. Weirdly though, that only added to the charm and nostalgia I felt playing it. #JaggedAlliance2 was far from perfect too, and the bugs that game had felt the same way.
