  • depends entirely on the game, how it loads stuff and how big the stuff is.

    100 GB openworld game? HDD probably is going to struggle with the asset loading, probably leading to stuttery gameplay or very noticeable pop-in

    <10GB game with closed arenas/levels? Probably loads everything at the start of the level, might take slightly longer on HDD, but probably doesn’t make any difference after that.


  • well, they’re up for now. The games aren’t too expensive either, so get on it if you’re at all interested. :)

    The gog version might come prepackaged with an older version of scummvm (basically an app to run older adventure games), you might want to get the latest version from https://scummvm.org/ and add the game manually into it, there’s been some advancement with graphics scaling etc.

    But, yea, I’d say the LSL7 is the best of the older games, doesn’t have any player deaths / gameover -nonsense, but there’s a casino section (staple of the series, kinda) where you have to win in gambling to proceed - but you can savescumm through it if you can’t be bothered to play it for realsies (essentially just save every time you win, check what opponent has and then reload & play accordingly. slam dunk).

    Other than the forced “gambling minigame” the puzzles aren’t “moon logic” per se, but do involve some creative/jokes thinkywork.

    Along with the regular point&click verb-menu, there’s a free text-input for some dialogue/item manipulation/etc. IIRC there’s like 2-3 things you need to do with it to beat the game (they’re fairly obvious), otherwise it’s for eastereggs.
