Sam n Max: Really great, really short. If the quality stays the same, the "game package" that will be season one will be a classic. Finally a pure adventure game to top Grim Fandango? It could be.
Sid Meier's Railroads: Man what a let down. It feels.... dinky. Small areas with "simple" graphics. Plus I had 2 CTD in an hour. Its probably got a solid game under it but my inital impressions aren't good.

Any of you have good or bad experiences with gaming on LCD or plasma TVs? I am talking in the 36-46 inch range here. I've been reading a lot about these 2 techs and it sounds like they both have come a long way since the early days.
Anyway, if you don't mind, please post what HDTV (I am particularly interested in flat panels) that you are using for gaming along with positive and negative aspects.

Also, we announce the winners of our 2Kgames contest and read their rants on the air for everyone to enjoy, We read some viewer mail to answer some questions you guys had for us, and (of course) what we’re currently playing, and much much more!
Hope you guys enjoy!

Please to be helping me get GLFW integrated into my Visual Studio 2005 project.
I've downloaded it but I can't figure out how to use it.
P.S yes i realise I stand very little chance of accomplishing anything with OpenGL if I can't even get a library working.

The railway layout has been simplified a lot as well, so that it automagically lays the track for you and you don't have to worry as much about minor/small gradients in the track. The downside to this new system is that it seems kind of buggy and is hard to get it the way you want it. You also have to worry more about switching between double tracks and signals and such. It does the switching automatically, but with the new layout system again, it's hard to get it to work right.
It appears to be somewhat unstable, my roomate crashed multiple times in the first 30 minutes, but has been fine for the past hour or so. I just crashed for the first time when trying to delete a complicated piece of track (trying to get it just right...)
So far overall I think it's definitely worth a purchase, and I hope more Shackers will pick it up. If they can get it more stable, and hopefully work on the auto track layout, I think it'd be incredibly engrossing. Oh, and more maps would be nice as well. There's no US south east map!
Worrrd. Look forward to a patch, but until then I will enjoy it.

So Computer Gaming World put up their big PDF archive of back issues. Obviously there's all the fun nostalgia like game reviews and advertisements, but more interesting I think are the reader statistics, which are at the end of every issue in a section titled "Reader Input Device." I was especially pleased to find these because hard data on the market share of the various computers of the time is extremely difficult to find. Anyway, over several years CGW polled readers for the games they liked the best and the computer(s) on which they were available. Initially, they collected scores on different aspects of each game (graphics, replayability, etc.) but later on they just posted an aggregate score. Around 1986 they stopped disclosing the number of respondents, and after 1989 they stopped breaking it down by platform. Here are some scores from 1982 to 1988.

You've got the initial dominance of Apple, then an Atari swell, then a Commodore swell, then finally it reaches the point where pretty much everything is being released for every platform. And all the while, PCs are in the background, slowly picking up steam. By the time you get to the early '90s, ads for PC gaming equipment are everywhere. They only show cover images after 1992 but we know what happened then anyway.
