Progress update on Settlers 2: Gold Edition
Assigned by Ghorpm

I finished my exams and finally managed to find some spare time to play. Needless to say, I haven't progressed much further, but I managed to beat mission 7. Slow, but steady ;-)

Sadly, Stardew Valley is not in the Summer Sale yet, but I have way too much to play already...

Progress update on Stardew Valley and Grim Fandango Remastered:

With the Euro 2016 running, both games are more or less on a hold for the moment. Instead I'm playing games that I can play in short busts in between the football matches. I've completed Gone Home (which had a good story and an amazing soundtrack) andplayed some levels of A Boy and his Blob (which is nice, but very easy).

Will return to my assigned games soon. :)

Same here! Settlers 2 Gold thru Return to the Roots or dos?
Hey, crossing fingers in here for you and your gf, man ;P

I am just using the regular GOG-version, which is running through DosBox. What is "Return to the Roots"?
Thank you :-) My exams went surprisingly well and we also already found a new appartment. We're moving at the end of august ;-)

Check it!
It's an open source engine re-implementation. Go for it ;)
Now that you're good to go, since you kicked some ass in these exams, well, it's great to dig this game in an optimized way.
And glad you've found a new place to live, hooray ;D

Looks interesting, but I'm not really into game-changing mods when I have yet to experience the vanilla game, but I will definitely look at it in the future ;-) Are you playing the Return-to-the-Roots-version right now? And did you play the World Campaign of the original game?

Hey man! I was into multiplayer in here. Don't really know if singleplayer was already implemented; as you can see, lan parties can get pretty intense with this re-implementation. Go for it when you have time, bud, won't regret it ;P
And yup, I'm also into the campaign here and there, something that's been happening kinda sporadically ;)

Sure it is! It takes some time to beat the game and I can fully understand that after playing one campaign you may not want to continue with another one immediately. Take some break first ;)

Progress update on Uplink

I've managed to beat half of the missions but I can't get any further because earler in the game I bought the most powerful processor and now I dont have any money to buy a "HUD_ConnectionAnalyses" for bypassing proxies and firewalls.

So yeah, I'm stuck and the only way to progress further is to restart the game, wich I don't want because I recently bought Dark Souls and I want to play it (I don't want to put it on the backlog list like I used to do with other games that I bought). If it's ok for you, can I restart the game when I'm in the mood (and have more time)?

Of course, I'm not PaterAlf, but I think it's very much OK, if you switch to Dark Souls ;-) Have fun with it!
In Uplink, is it possible to sell gear? Maybe that's a way to progress.

Meanwhile I can give a...
Progress update on Settlers 2: Gold Edition

I managed to beat the final mission of the Roman Campaign and have thus completed half of the Gold Edition!
Only the long World Campaign remains. During the missions, I freely used the speed-"cheat" to not have to wait five minutes before my settlers walked from A to B, as the maps tend to be quite big. Even with that, it still took me six or more hours to beat a single mission - I estimate it took me about 50 to 60 hours to finish the game, even though I already started at mission 4!
The level design is varied and challenging, but nevertheless I intend to switch games for the moment.

I am for now now in the mood for something with a quicker gameplay and something different... gentlemen, please choose! Cheers!

I honestly don't know if you can sell gear. I'm going to check that out.

I finished uplink few months ago, so I could offer advice to you.
When I could not find any low-rank(finish-able) missions, just push the speed up button at top screen and wait a few seconds, and eventually new low-rank missions will be appeared.
I didn't have any troubles to find new missions.

I remembered that In the middle period of the game, finding new finish-able missions was a bit difficult without waiting.

Since nobody assigned me a new game, I went on and finished Space Pirates and Zombies.
This was a game I already started two years ago and progressed quite far as I liked it a lot back then. Then it became really grindy and I paused for a looong time - but now I managed to beat it ;-)

Therefore, I will try again for a new assignment: gentlemen, please choose! Cheers!

What about Baldur's Gate 1 Complete is?
You will enjoy this great RPG!

Personally I even like this game than 2. The beginning stage was a bit difficult though.
