Drakan: Order of the... END

Drakan screen

So I finished another old game.
Drakan has proved a winning combination of action and adventure with an interesting history.
A few bugs here and there, and sometimes the gameplay is limited to collecting this and that thing to continue, but in a never boring way.
After finishing the game you can find Rynn and her dragon Arokh 
in the next chapter called Drakan: The Ancient's Gates.

Drakan: Order of the Flame - MOD - and another patch

There is a "new" patch for Drakan to resolve the start bug and a MOD to add some fancy things.
     "This is unofficial patch for Drakan that solve two of major problems with game (Alwarren exiting crash and Start Game crash). All it's content will be included in Drakan 10th Anniversy as well. Develeoped by Shelim&Kronikarz"
Take a look: http://www.moddb.com/mods/drakan-10th-anniversary/downloads

I have yet to try it ... but now I would prefer play the game without mod...

The mod seems to be unavailable now...

Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy): Game Over!

fahrenheit indigo prophecy

Also this game has been devoured...

Graphically it is excellent for the period, the story gets a little weird towards the end, but it certainly deserves to be played.

It is an advanced graphical adventure that combines different elements of gameplay and its style will surely be used on Heavy Rain (which I still play, next time).

The final I got out of my game session is: good.

Thank you QD!

Save and Restore desktop icon layout!

save desktop layout and restore it easily

Playing old games with different resolutions sometimes messes up my desktop layout.
In my desktop I have MY icons disposition, such as games shortcuts on right, "temp" files in the bottom etc... and sometimes after a game session, when I return to the desktop, the icons are all mixed up or grouped to the left.

If you have this problem, download and install for your Windows version the tool Desktop Restore:

http://www.midiox.com/desktoprestore.htm

Save your layout with Save desktop command and restore it when something goes wrong!

This tool saves my arse!
