    • Commander keen

    • Wingnuts

    • Burn:Cycle

    • Myst

    • Duke Nukem (the first one but also 3D)

    Wingnuts was a dumb fmv ‘dog fighting’ game, but when you beat it you could play it again with silly dialogue. I also remember when setting up the sound card the test audio was a guy saying ‘ah veiners, just ze vay I like zem!’ In a bad German accent.

    Burn:Cycle was an fmv adventure game that I adored, it also came with a sound track cd and a little packet of leaflets based on in game stuff that was really cool. I still listen to the ost on occasion












  • I suppose it really depends on figuring out what consciousness really is.

    If we’re talking about pure digital information then nothing is actually moved, it’s just copied and written to a new location. From the perspective of the new mind, continuity would be preserved and it would think it had simply changed places. The old mind (if it survives the scanning/transfer process) would still be outside the simulation and see a new copy of itself in there.

    On the other hand, if consciousness is some kind of understandable phenomena, with even more sci-fi tech we might be able to simply scoop it out and put it somewhere else. In that case it would be the same person.
