Lora's Computer Game Hints and Tips

Confession time: I've been an avid computer gamer since the early 80's. That was twenty years ago. Holy crap, where did all that time go? (-: Anyway, sitting around a game for hours trying every item in my inventory on a mysterious column was one thing when I was twelve and had nothing else to do.

But I have two kids of my own these days, and though I still love gaming, I've completely lost patience with tedious interfaces, "puzzles" that are really just trial and error, micromanagement of food intake and inventory and which NPC is in which building at 2 PM on a weekday, combats with pointless wandering monsters, staring at the screen doing nothing for long periods of time, and contending with bugs. Life is too short to waste precious downtime on boring chores--you can get those at work.

So for any gamers who may think similarly, here's my compendium of computer game hints, tips, walkthroughs, and cheats. What you see on this page now is only a tiny percentage of the games I've actually played in the past 20 years--for one thing, the first decade of that was spent playing C64 games that exist only as abandonware these days. For another, as I've said, my time is limited. But I'll be adding to this list as time goes on

Here's what the terminology means:

Review pages contain no spoilers at all. They have a screenshot, game description, my opinions, and basically everything you need to decide whether you want to play the game in question. Review pages also link to online stores that sell the games new or used.

Hints pages contain gameplay spoilers, but no plot or puzzle spoilers. Some of them give detailed suggestions for improving your enjoyment of the game: telling you which game elements you need to worry about and which you don't, how to get around interface problems, whether there are any realtime issues or the gender of your PC affects anything and stuff like that. Others are simpler and only have a few gameplay tips or bug advisories.

Cheats pages contain cheat codes, trainers and editors, and hex editing information, but no gameplay, plot, or puzzle information.

Walkthrough pages contain some plot spoilers, though I strive to keep that to a minimum (and always separate any puzzle spoilers onto another page--why play a game if you already know the solution?) They also contain lots of easter eggs, lists of the possible quests in games that have quests, and notes on alternate paths that can be taken. The idea with these is to point gamers towards interesting things they might not have tried in each game. I don't have pages like this up for most games, but the ones I do have are quite comprehensive.

Happy gaming!
