This sequel is right as rain!

The remake didn't excite me much, but it could very well be sales from that funding this. It's funny how nostalgia works!

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo this is a game about using public goods without paying taxes?

That actually sounds like it could be a fun idea for a game. "Steal this Game" - Channel your inner Abbie Hoffman!

Confidential issue #12092

What? I switched to AMD specifically to use drivers that offer a first-class FOSS experience, and to avoid this kind of vague chicanery.

Part of the point of FOSS is, you know, being open about issues! I get paranoid about this crap ever since I first started reading the likes of Brian Krebs and Bruce Schneier years ago.

This seems to be the fix for the confidential bug:

It's related to WebGL so I'm guessing a security issue in a browser, that's about to be disclosed?

There was a 96KB FPS created in 2004 [External Link]. Would be fun to see what could be done with 4MB twenty years later!

I don't know any, but I want the information.

It's from Tex Murphy: Mean Streets (1989).

The game had a feature called RealSound (tm) which made it possible to play digitized audio samples, like speech, using the PC speaker. The cable in the picture was the suggested way to improve audio quality and volume.

Not sure if RealSound was used in any other games.

Among other things I've played and quite enjoyed the old Renegade Ops [External Link]. It was only very recently made playable (without needing workarounds) with Proton Experimental.

It's still listed as Unsupported but I hope it will be re-evaluated soon as it runs great!
