Thief series. particularly in 1 and 2, the dialogues of some guards and the weird primates and the rat men.

Also for me, there was nothing like blackjacking a monkey man while hes talking about berries with his friend, or watching guards from different factions killing each other over an argument laced with shakespearean insults - then finishing off the last men standing and taking their arrows and cash.
Smashing civillians over the head with the blackjack and taking their cash was always made me feel decadent.

well... my friend :smirk: tried to download postal 2 and apocalyspe weekend and one thats simply titled AWP.

the error for apocalyspe weekend is:

General protection fault!

History: CheckTag <- ULinkerLoad::ULinkerLoad <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine

and the error for AWP is:

Assertion failed: InPos<=Size [File:..\..\Core\Inc\FFileManagerWindows.h] [Line: 57]

History: FArchiveFileReader::Seek <- ULinkerLoad::Seek <- FUnrealfileSummary<< <- LoadSummary <- ULinkerLoad::ULinkerLoad <- UObject::GetPackageLinker <- ULinkerLoad::VerifyImport <- ValidateImports <- ULinkerLoad::Verify <- ULinkerLoad::ULinkerLoad <- UObject::GetPackageLinker <- UObject::StaticLoadObject <- (Engine.Level None.MyLevel Entry) <- VerifyPackages <- UGameEngine::LoadMap <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine



and postal one and two, just won't even run. they dont even have a fancy picture. clicking on them brings up a dos looking box and that turns off after a moment and thats that.




any ideas?

im guessing your running vista or a 64bit operating system.  and when you say downloaded the game, what exactly did you do after that?  usually there are certain things you must do to get it to run after that

are you leaving it mounted when you try to run it?  did you check for a crack on the image?  if so then

try daemon tools instead of poweriso.  daemon tools has some extra settings like emulating copy protection

na i just used power iso to extract it because thats what the icon was made of at that point. installed it and it can run (i assume) without the disk, because i usually get the no disk error before the shit dont work error.


there wasn't (to my knowledge) anything to mount.
when i went back and mounted the "CD" it had the same error.
thinking about just buying this shit, but it doesnt seem like thats where the problem is.

but usually you either keep the file mounted using daemon tools trying the various settings on that program from none to all one at a time.

or there's a crack in there somewhere, rarely do you find one that this is allready taken care of.

aside from the machine, portal was lame.

and makaveli, i'll give it a go
edit: same error

General protection fault!

i just reread some of your previous posts, did you install from the hard drive after you extracted the files, or did you install from your mounted drive? trying it different ways may help. as may different programs like  daemon tools , purhaps try winrar to extract the files to your hard drive too. 

otherwise try some of the things suggested in here

tried this and it worked, a fun game with absolutely no point. theres only a little material that is actually enjoyable, most of it is just walking. but i will try apocalypse weekend.

the newest one might have potential.

gonna try some of the other games listed here
