Wow, amazing find about “Half Life” being mentioned in Sam & Max. I wish that was intentional haha
And yeah, honestly the cut-off to only do DOS games is a bit arbitrary. Half-Life is from 1998. We’ve done loads of games from 1997, such as Carmageddon or Grand Theft Auto. Why does a single year make such a big difference, is a valid question to ask.
But then again, we want to draw the line somewhere, because all of PC gaming is just one big continuum really, so if we don’t impose some kind of barrier then what’s stopping us from doing the likes of Fortnite etc.
There’s something to be said to focus on “retro” as a whole, rather than a specific operating system, but idk… I also enjoy the fact we’re only looking at DOS games.
It also makes them easy to play along, because of Dosbox etc. Getting old Windows games to run is a lot more tricky, which makes a gaming club for them a lot less viable.
So yeah, there are no real plans to move away from the focus on DOS for the foreseeable future. There’s still plenty of good games to choose from!
