    Anyone ever play the Blackwell games?

    I started on the first one last night and I'm enjoying it a lot. It's a real vintage style point and click adventure game where you control a girl and a ghost with a hat:

    I'm guessing it had you at 'hat'?

    The game probably has other features as well, I don't know. I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!


    But it really is the best point and click I've played in a long time. I've never been a fan of the Telltale Games ones.

    Oh and you can pick up the trilogy as well as the other relevant to my interests game 'Dino D-Day' for just €3.01 here:

    It's x64 as well. They call it x86/amd64 for some reason.
    Just download and install and you'll see what I mean as it will use the 64bit architecture.

    from wiki:
    VirtualBox supports both Intel's VT-x and AMD's AMD-V hardware virtualization.

    Just about to kick off my birthday party, waiting for guests but had to share the surprise my wife made me a birthday cake of my Astro cab! Love it! :)

    Got the cab set up for some SHMUPS and all the Apple bits are controlled by my iPhone remotely. Got the DJ Request feature set up too so no fighting over the iPod as always happens at every party. Let's go! :)
