I would pay for the game. But, it seems not really worth downloading from a paysite.

I can usually beat it on the highest level 10. It's one of the weakest programs out there but is good for anyone from a beginner to a medium player. Anyone could beat level 1.

The schitt thing about gog.com is that I cannot remember my email password of old to be able to acquire a security code to get access to my old account with gog. They have games of Duke Nukem on steam for $3. But I will have to go buy a temporary credit card to be able to buy a copy.

I gave up on trying to get my old game reinstalled and decided to go buy another one. The problem being that I found that the game requires a credit card to purchase. The EB Games store told me to buy a Steam voucher to be able to purchase the games online. I then found out that the game I wanted (first thought to be about $5) was $29.95. What the hell? It actually featured a new level that was only made in the last few years. So, screw that.

I bought 5 and then 3. I have 4 here at home. But I cannot install due to my dvd rom being busted to play anything. Now getting error messages with Rome: Total War. It is good to listen to audiobooks whilst I playing computer games.

I bought Silent Hunter 4 the other month. Installed. But the game is now too difficult to play. I think the difficulty setting on Steam is set high, even if you change the realism to 0. Just the other day, I heard my DVD ROM clicking back into usage. Now I have 2 different versions of Silent Hunter 4.

Duke Nukem 3d was purchased as an impulse buy. Got the new level installed. New features for the game. Already finished the episode. Need a new game to challenge me.
