Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 You might try making this a proper poll, since UBB has that capability. I'm actually surprised it hasn't been done recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Every time this poll is run, the result is usually a statistical tie between Avernum/Exile 2 and Geneforge 1, with X3 in a close second. I highly doubt it will be any different this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I refuse to vote due to the absence of the greatest Spiderweb game. It's disappointing remake is included, but I much prefer the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Of the one's you've offered, I'd go with A:EftP. My favorites aren't on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice ex post slarto Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I refuse to vote due to the absence of the actual greatest Spiderweb game, Exile II. The selection of games is very confusing. It isn't strictly chronological, since it includes BoA but not A4 or G3. If you wanted to instead call the poll "Best Spiderweb Game in the Last 6 Years," and remove BoA to make that true, I bet you'd get a more positive reaction to it. There are many people here who hold the older games dear. I'd vote in a factually named poll, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice ex post slarto Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 In that case, I'm quite torn between A:EFTP and N:R. That really is a tough call, but I think in the end I will vote for Nethergate: Resurrection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 All I'll say is that it's considered in poor taste to delete the first post of a topic, even if it didn't go how you wanted or should be replaced with a new thread. The thread exists, and people are posting in it. Anyone coming late should have all the material to read and understand it. —Alorael, who would be happier to see an added edit saying that the thread is stupid and it shouldn't be read. Let people be stupid and read it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 It is absurd to ask people what their favorite SW game is and then not include all members of that set. Would you make a "best pie" poll and not include pumpkin? No, that would be silly, because then nobody could vote for the best pie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well nobody would ever be able to pick between lemon meringue or apple and blackberry anyway, so a "best pie" poll would be flawed before you even began. (and what about non-dessert pies?!)

Clearly, a properly done blueberry pie served with vanilla ice cream is the obvious winner in any sort of pie competition. I'm not much of a pie person, but blueberry cobbler (which is basically just blueberry filling with sweet batter baked over the top) is one of the best baked fruit desserts out there. Blackberry cobbler comes in right behind it. Dikiyoba just doesn't really like pie crust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 We might as well consolidate pie discussion to one thread.

Garrulous Glaahk JamesMighty Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Who's Richard White? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Richard White designed three games that were, for years, sold through Spiderweb: Ocean Bound, Lost Souls, and Galactic Core. His games were seen as mediocre to bad, and then became memetically atrocious, and then the Richard White Games forum got filled with odd cults and nonsense. —Alorael, who can also address the more existential question. Richard White is everyone, although not everyone is Richard White. Do not adjust your implants until they will have been adjusted yesterday in a week and a half.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Google is your friend, BMA. Popularity shouldn't determine whether you play them. There should be a demo, if they're not straight up free by now. The challenge will probably be getting them to run on a modern OS. http://macintoshgarden.org/author/richard-white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Very little is known about Richard White. For a long time, Jeff offered to publish others' games, which basically amounted to hosting them and handling sales. Richard White and Pieter "Radiant" Simoons (of SubTerra fame) took him up on it, but I don't think Jeff and the other developers were ever friends or even really acquaintances. Richard White never actually interacted with any fan base, as far as we can tell. The most Jeff could tell us when asked was that he still mailed Richard the checks when someone bought a game and someone was cashing those checks. —Alorael, who actually would recommend playing Lost Souls. It was a neat idea that would have been vastly improved by a level editor. It's basically a simple board game, and it would have been a hit as a casual flash game.
