In which we lose the war for every side we choose... I should've known number 13 would be unlucky.
Aces Over Europe is a great combat flight simulator from 1993 by Dynamix, and lets you fly a variety of combat aircraft from WWII through all kinds of missions and campaigns. It's got a great flight model, and all the planes are realistically portrayed. You can even fly some two-seat planes. Definitely a nice gem from the middle days of DOS, lots of fun. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GuLcWgM6qQ
"They're coming out of the goddamn walls man!"
Well it's finally here. Fallout 3. A game that destroyed a company and continues to divide what was once a loyal fanbase even to this day. Was it worth it? Well, we'll find out.
Produced by Bethesda Softworks, best known for the Elder Scrolls series of RPGs, the game is the sequel (of sorts) to Interplay's venerable Fallout series of ground-breaking late 90s RPGs. Fallout 3 takes place in an all-new setting, the Capital Wasteland, and features a first/third-person game engine ala modern FPS. After a false start with 'Project Van Buren' that ultimately drove Interplay to bankruptcy and resulted in the original closure of Black Isle Studios, Fallout 3 was finally released with much fanfare some eleven years after Fallout 2. Was it worth it? Although highly praised upon its release and winning numerous industry accolades and awards, even now the game engenders some resentment from the series die-hard fans.
This will certainly be interesting. This Let's Play has been requested as far back as during my Fallout 2 days. This will be my first official entirely blind Let's Play, as I've never played Fallout 3 (beyond the first hour or so of gameplay) to completion. Every other game I've LPed so far was a game I had extensive experience with, played front to back and otherwise dominated or at least held vast knowledge of. So this will be a new experience for all of us.

This time I'm going to be playing not just Fallout 2, Interplay's sequel to the smash hit RPG Fallout, but I'm also going to be playing the Restoration Project. The Restoration Project is a mod created by the No-Mutants-Allowed user Killap, designed to add back in much of the content that was cut from Fallout 2 due to time constraints. It also fixes multiple bugs and adds some additional graphics features.
Your home, the village of Arroyo, is dying. The tribe founded by the original Vault Dweller from Fallout needs you to venture into the Wasteland to retrieve the fabled Garden of Eden Creation Kit, a device said to 'bring life to the Wasteland'. Along the way you'll meet more strange mutants, unique characters, and even some old friends. You'll even get a chance to revisit some of the locations from Fallout 1... but the Wasteland has changed in the last 80 years...~

One of the many cheeky Game Over blues that play when you lose. This one is for when you bail out too low for your parachute to open, and go SPLAT.

"Thanks, Kane. I appreciate you funding my war effort to help me do whatever it is you're trying to do."
Command & Conquer is the groundbreaking real-time strategy game from Westwood Studios that set the bar for all RTS games to follow. With its sleek interface, animated units, sincere if cheesy cutscenes, and near-future setting, Westwood Studios produced the game that would define the industry for years to come. It introduced the world to tiberium, point click and die and, of course, Kane. This is where it all begins.

"The sun is rising..."
I have been longing to do this one for a long time, I know I already did a straight playthrough but this will be a lot of fun. This is literally the first PC game I ever played and the game that introduced me to the BattleTech world. We're going to go really deep in here and explore what makes MechWarrior 2 such a classic.

"Kill it with power, yay!"
Yeah after the last mission that took hours we take it to the Allies with blitzkrieg tactics. I bet Germany did Na... no I should probably not put those words in my description even if it is funny.
After their first surprise hit, Westwood Studios upped the ante with Command & Conquer: Red Alert. A landmark game in the annals of gaming history, Red Alert introduces to the commander all new naval and air units, including strike fighters. All of this is just so great, and it was released right around the time internet gaming was picking up. Back in my day, there were tons of skirmish matches being played all over the globe. Cool or what?
Of course this is not to denigrate the single-player campaign. Westwood rolled all the dice with having an actual Stalin actor. And the cut-scenes are just much more than the original C&C could deliver... really, Red Alert is essentially 'Command & Conquer: More Edition'.
The great thing about Command & Conquer contrasting to other real time strategy games, is that the sides are not balanced at all. The Allies have all the naval ships, the Soviets get all the cool air power, the Soviets have big damn tanks and the Allies... don't? And the base defenses... this game made the Tesla Coil iconic. It is really great in all the ways.
