I have played this game with no problem. Can't remember if I turned off hyperthreading or not.
Hope this helps someone.
Edit: Just read my notes on this game -- this patch bypasses SafeDisc. So no new info here. Nevermind. [smiley=sorry.gif]

| Deleted User | Thanks, Fnord and SharonB, for your info on System Shock 2. I'm going to try it out soon!
Re COCCOTE: I have actually read "Shadow over Innsmouth" and a few other of Lovecraft's stories, but... I think it was firstly the implied violence, torture and suffering, and then also the very well done graphics, that capture the creepy look of the inhabitants of Innsmouth so well, that got me too creeped out eventually. You never get such a terrible sense of constant horror while just reading the stories.
So although I find myself drawn to and fascinated by Survival Horror, on the hand, on the other hand I'm also a bit of a wimp.. :-/

| Deleted User | Nicer graphics than I'd have thought for the first game! Are you the guy? What's that in your hand? Looks like a torch shaped like a gun.

It's a gun with a torch wrapped together. And yes the graphics are superb (it's a game released in 2004).

You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

| Deleted User | You know what, Taurnil, I'm actually glad to see you're making your shots smaller now, as with the big ones, it's a bit hard to see everything all at once.
Ok, personally, (as I'm currently using quite a small monitor), I'd probably want the darker shots just a teensy bit bigger, but I can see you are working on an optimal sizing there. 8-)
Keep them coming! 8-)
Had a look at your review, Aya. Nice! [smiley=thumbup.gif]

Your review is nice and elucidatory by all means. The game is great because I recall these fond memories that we all had back there (school years etc) +the monsters that give a.... spicy look at the game. I only played it once, back in 2004 and for 20 minutes only cause the gameplay with only the keyboard was really hard to accomplish. I'm glad that I didn't get rid of it! I don't know about the sequels. Have you played them? I think they're called Aftermath and Obscure II. Give us some information if you played them!

It's not too late to write a review on Obscure2 by the way!

Maybe it is, since I have stopped writing reviews...
Your last waking moments are marked by wretched pain as you provide dinner for a group of ill-mannered dinner guests that just wouldn't leave.

Well, you should consider starting over again!
