Heh. I remember back in 1992 or so, since me and my cousin loved Sid Meier’s Civilization so much, and Sid Meier’s Pirates, we said, everything from this guy seems to be gold. Has he done something else? And we found Sid Meier’s Covert Action at CompUSA, and brought it home. Sadly I had to go back to college the next day, so I never got to see it in action.
What’s the actual gameplay consist of?
It’s a bunch of fascinating spy-focused minigames, really. So great.

One of my favorite games when it came out.

Sid felt it was too disjointed because of all the mini games but I remember enjoying when it came out. Car chases, substitution ciphers, lockpicking?, can’t remember the others

There’s also a good puzzle minigame where you try to get power to flow from one side of a grid to the other.
I think it holds up pretty well today, especially the investigation part of it. I love how you get clues that don’t mean anything on their own, like a name or a city, and if you’re smart you can get a hunch about what’s going on.
It took me until the 2010s but I finally did lock up the last terrorist mastermind and make the world safe for democracy once and for all.
…and then we elected you-know-who anyway just 6 years later.

I started up DS2 SOTFS edition last night. I have played DS2 several times but never this version and never the DLCs. I have started as a warrior but expect to spec him out eventually much more dex than strength.
I’ve been playing too much Neverwinter. No good reason for it.
But, I also finished the main game in Yonder, and want to dabble around some more with the intent of achieving the end game goals.
Well I signed up for the Game Pass so I guess I guess I should start using it. Is the Sherlock Holmes game The Devil’s Daughter any good?
I got my new laptop well ahead of schedule (old one died yesterday, so we had to fast-track a new one), so I’ll be checking out all sorts of stuff on there, I guess! At the very least, I expect to play Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code, League of Legends, and Guild Wars 2.
I may play a bit of Monster Hunter World and Civilization 6 this weekend.
But mainly I’ve got solo boardgames planned: Darkest Night 2nd Ed., Spirit Island, and High Frontier.

You will play configuring the new computer, who are you trying to fool!
I grabbed something called Ticket, so I will play that, although I am terrible at platformers, and maybe some raging on Hollow Knight.
Well poo. OK, maybe Ultratron then.

Mostly The Division, Injustice 2, and The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel. Maybe a bit of Subnautica, Nioh and Final Fantasy XII if I can manage.

I’ll be finishing up my Civ VI Rsie and Fall game for sure. After that is up in the air.
Some Offworld Trading company.

If you LIKE Sherlock Holmes games, its fine. Its not the best, but its good enough, certainly.
Subnautica and Civ 6 on the iPad.
Ancient Chinese secret, huh?
