I'm just bored with everything lately. I'm having fun with this though. I think too many designers forget about the "fun" part and make it all about the graphics; like Heroes 5. Away, what's everybody playing?

Tsk Tsk, you know you shouldn't be talking about playing ROM's like that here

Anyways, I have all but given up on games, but I am playing an old classic, Starcraft [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Why, are they not allowed? I honestly don't/didn't know. They're just kind of all over the place. [/QUOTE]has more to do with games acquired in a less than legal manner. Most, but not all, ROMS fall under such a category. And as they are usually pirated copies, are not intended to be discussed. Legal possession of ROMs requires that you actually own in your possession, functional or otherwise, an authorised/official copy of the game, of which you wish to have the ROM. Anything else, unless declared public domain is essentially pirated material.

from the rules and regs,

No Piracy: DO NOT post links to 'warez sites'. Do not discuss pirating games, bragging about pirating or anything else. This will get your account suspended or banned. The only possible thing you CAN discuss is the so-called 'cracks' for no CD operation. SOME Games don't work on some peoples CD-ROM's. This is because of a special copy protection called 'Safe Disc'. But that is it. Anything else is considered pirating.

But if you own the game, it's legal.

Anywho, just to be on the safe side, we usually don't discuss them.
