Very Old Game Makes Me Smile

[Scarlet Shocker]

I dipped into a game I've not played for a long while this week.

 

I was always a fan of the original Dungeon Keeper, despite janky bitmap graphics et al but I loved War for the Overworld even more, despite it being a tribute/clone/homage.

 

I keep forgetting there's a level in the game that always gives me a BFG - it's a whole bunch of skeletons and necromancers running around causing mayhem. That mission is titled "Go Hunt. Kill Skuls"

 

That's the biggest grin of all. The fact that an homage is giving a nod to another game that I love even more seems to give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

 

Maybe we don't need to be spending close to £75 a pop for the latest games (of course on the latest rigs, cuz they don't look right otherwise) we just need great gaming experiences and fun communities. The odd in-joke won't hurt too much either!
