I finished the first two Borderlands but got nowhere close with the Pre Sequel. I just couldn't find people online at the time.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get FF to work on Windows 10 or 7 (I skipped 8, but I understand the problem is common there, too.)

The GOG version worked flawlessly for me under Windows 7 (and I've read that it also runs under Win 10). Dunno why the Steam version causes so many problems in comparison.

Here's what I could find on it and seemed to get the most "worked for me" responses over the other "fixes"

It works great for me in vista and in windows 7
To fix the fist icon bug do the following:
All you have to do, is find the FF.exe file in the game folder and
right click it, go to properties, compatibility tab,
1. check the box that says
"run in compatability mode" , in the pull down menu select "Win98/ME"
2. check to box to disable visual desktop
3. check to box to disable desktop composition
4. click the OK button
5. Now right click on the STEAM shortcut on your desktop that launches STEAM (not the game shortcut.
6. right click it, go to properties, compatibility tab.
7. check the box that says
"run in compatability mode" , in the pull down menu select "XP service pack 3".
8. click the OK button
step 9.
*IMPORTANT*. EXIT steam, make sure you right click close steam thats is still running on your system tray or the changes won't take affect.
Now when you launch steam it will be in xp compatibilty mode, which will allow you to launch freedom force in win 98/ME mode to play the game without the fist bug on newer video cards / newer OSes.

Man, I loved Space Quest IV.

I'd love to play all these games, but nostalgia aside, I don't see how anyone who remembers these games could have enough time to play all of them again.

I'm tempted just for Phantasmagoria alone. I absolutely loved that game. Would be entertaining to see how (poorly, I assume) it holds up today.

Just watch The Spoony Experiment's Let's Play of Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh; it's one the more amusing and classic Let's Play video series, and a whole lot more entertaining that the game itself.

It's pretty rare that I can get a Humble Bundle where I don't own a single one of the offerings on STEAM already. I feel like this means I must get in on the Sierra Bundle.

I think most of the games were just released (on Steam, anyway) so that's probably why you don't have any already.

I read their page to mean that if you bought it for free in the next 48 hours it was yours to keep, as long as you activated the key within seven days. Is that what you meant?

Huh. Never played any of the Tropicos. I'm not much of a fan of South American politics (this is sim city with dictators, yes?).

Free is enough to change that, I think.

It's really much more of a management game than SimCity. You have to continuously balance the demands of politics, food, work, education and religion while meantime filling up your Swiss bank account :D. There's always some to do, people to watch (or make disappear), new buildings to build and edicts to announce. And frankly I think Tropico 4 was a better game than 5.

FYI: Humble Store's summer sale has started. (Wish I knew it was scheduled for now before I used the 10% off coupon last week, but the things I bought are the same price, and there's only one or two small games I'm considering getting, so not much of an issue.

More like a city builder with a corrupt leader, I should have said. Might still be off the mark.

Anyway, I'm now a proud owner, so I'll find out for myself soon enough.

I just wanted to say that. Especially since you don't have to be particularly old to have bought Tropico 1 when it was new. Actually I'd expect most people to debate whether 3 or 4 was best.

I believe the coupons on Humble are attached to the account (it's not a code), so in order to get the 10% off for a new Monthly subscription, you would need to get one of the (non-monthly) bundles that offered that coupon. I believe it works out

Wasn't sure about that. I'm going to wait until the bundle turns over in a day or so and see what they have.

As long as you're not interested in the Sierra game, that sounds like a good idea.

Keep in mind, you only need to spend $1 to get the coupon (eg, from the Description: "Pay $1 or more to unlock Steam and GameMaker keys, and receive a coupon for 10% off Humble Monthly for new subscribers."). Though it only deducts 10% off (which would make it 1.20 you save), so the benefit is more for the games you would gain than a real discount.

Tropico 2 (I think. The pirate one.) had the best music. It's the only game ever where I leave soundtrack on well after I've been playing for a long time.

(Android) Humble Mobile Bundle: Board Games:
The Humble Mobile Bundle: Board Games

Board-om relief. Board of the usual mobile games? We've got the cure, and it's the ultimate in portable nerd joy: board game favorites like Catan, Carcassonne, and Galaxy Trucker, all bundled up real small so you can slap 'em onto your Android phone and take them anywhere.

Pay $1 or more for Carcassonne, and Scotland Yard.

Pay $3 or more and you’ll also get Splendor, Catan and THE aMAZEing Labyrinth.

Pay $5 or more for all of that plus Ticket To Ride, San Juan, and Galaxy Trucker.

Pay $1 or more. Normally, the total cost for these games is as much as $54. Here at Humble Bundle, though, you choose the price of $1 or more!

DRM-free for Android. All games in this bundle are available DRM-free exclusively for Android. Some games may have minimum device requirements in order to run properly. For more information, please check the full system requirements here.
Also, according to the announcement from Days of Wonder, Small World 2 will be added as one of the "coming soon" games on Monday.
