Thank you for the quirky set of GAs. Got me really enthusiastic about Star Trek. :B Haven't played it, ever, was more of a Star Wars gal back in the day.
And that Kangaroo looks sweet. :o want one! never mind I've had my heart set on a PC that could actually be a useful workstation -- ie. gaming setup :P

I'm much more of a Wars fan than a Trek fan too. But I saw this game and remembered how great I thought the graphics looked back in the day and figured someone else out there that actually played it would enjoy having it even more. I was totally into the Lucas Arts and Sierra games at the time, and Interplay made a lot of great stuff too. There were just so many great games back then and this unfortunately was one of the ones that I never did get to check out.
And you totally should get a Kangaroo. Just bear in mind that you may want to do what I've done and pick up a USB hub and a USB3.0 Ethernet Adapter. They do now have a new Kangaroo that has an ethernet port build in to the dock, but the dock is much larger than the original and it doubles the cost of the unit. I went with a cable style hub btw because I think it's a little more portable and a little more versatile than the block style hubs. There are only 2 USB ports including the 3.0 port so unless you are springing for a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, which I have yet to do and may never do, just keep in mind how many things you may need to plug in. I have my keyboard, mouse, external WD HDD, Ethernet Adapter, and game controller all plugged in. One good thing about it, in case you didn't notice, is that it does have a microSD card slot so if you have a nice sized memory card you could always eliminate the need for an external HDD for media files by using a decent sized card.
Really I think anyone who has a use for one should consider getting it. I use mine for everything and it has easily been the best 100 bucks I've ever spent on an electronic gadget.

Oh my lord. So innocent looking and at the same time, not at all.

Thank you for the train. It even had some on my wishlist. :)

Thanks for the train. I primarily can only play games on a laptop that was low-mid range 6 years ago, so I know what restrictions feel like.
I do think that while "...And Justice for All" was the last good Metallica album, there has been the odd decent song since. For Whom The Bell Tolls is probably my favorite song by them, and Master of Puppets favorite album

Old games are actually fun since they are mainly original and hey we rarely even play any games in the past but nowadays people are complaining about graphic...
Stop the complaining and just play the game. The story is so much better than the games nowadays.
I have a quite decent laptop but I'm struggling to complete my backlog :L

This is the first in what I hope will be a continuing series of GA's that focus on gamers with lower end PCs. Not everyone has a machine that can run the newest Bethesda or CD PROJEKT game or even games that most people think are for mid-range PC's. This is for those of us out there who have to play games on PC's with the computing power of your average toaster oven. And not even the good Black & Decker Toaster ovens, I'm talking thrift store, hand-me-down, no name brand toaster ovens that only get one side of your toaster strudel warm and flaky and oh man now I want some toaster strudels.
I had a decent PC but unfortunately the GPU finally fried after several years (and after a rejection for an RMA from a manufacturer that I won't name) and then the onboard graphics went out soon after. The computer was toast, I scrapped it, sold off the parts that could be salvaged, and bought a Kangaroo Mobile Desktop. It's only for sale on the Microsoft Store and New Egg, and it doesn't have the greatest specs in the world, but 100 USD for a PC the size of a smartphone that can play Tales of Maj'Eyal, Delver, and a lot of other roguelikes that I enjoy as well as stream Netflix and give me a means to talk to all of you nice people, well, I could have done a lot worse for 100 bucks is all. Here's a link to the Kangaroo if you wanna see what I have to work with.

-IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO PLAY THESE GAMES PLEASE DON'T ENTER.
-If you were born after Metallica already started sucking for example and old-school games look so bad that you can't bring yourself to play them because they're too pixelated for you, then please pass on the GA's so that someone else out there who remembers how good "...And Justice for All" was can freak the frig out and bask in some nostalgic glory.
-If you can run Crysis 27 at six-hundred frames per second, then maybe sit out on these GA's so that someone else has a better chance to win what might end up being the crown jewel of their collection and their new go-to game when it comes to showing off the prowess of that new 486 DX2-50Mhz they just picked up at the landfill.
Now I only had about ten bucks to play around with on my Steam Wallet along with some ref, gems, and trading cards to use to trade for other games, but I've tried my best to put as many never-bundled games into this little train as possible and I've tried to stick to games that I would buy for myself. I don't actually own any of these I don't think, but they all look like something I would play.
Okay enough gabbing, I hope to keep this thread going and I hope to churn out as many GA's as possible with not-so-rich people with not-so-great computers in mind.
