Do you really think the president of the United States could be a victim of identity theft?

Edit: oh, I misread. No, you don’t apparently. Answered my own question

Do you think they hate it when we celebrate the 4th?

OG Graalonline player checking in

Accurate (it’s a bit older than 16 years though)

I did it. I finally did it. After all these years, all the time I spent searching, I found the last known fully offline build for Graal classic.

Back in the day, as a kid, there was a free shareware game that I played an obnoxious amount of times: Graal. Not the shitty “Graal classic” we have today, (it’s a shell of its former self), but the original Graal 1.4.0; I searched EVERYWHERE and I couldn’t even get a blip more than old forums about the game reminiscing...

Oh man, where to start? It was basically a player driven legend of Zelda (top down, snes graphics) game. Are you familiar with littlebigplanet or dreams on playstation? It was basically the first community driven game based on creations from other players, and it’s approach to scripting and level design was easy to pick up and learn (for its time). You could make entire games with it, even custom items. The game was released in 1999, so by today’s standards it is pretty basic I think, but still. It’s not perfect, but it was fun. It had its own campaign and allowed you to make your own essentially. It also had a really cool customization system. You could design your own skins, shields, swords, weapons, etc. Some of the more devoted among us even made custom music, and then you could import them all to the game. It was both offline and online too, with its own dedicated servers, and online it functioned as an mmo where you could contribute your levels and houses, if they were approved. There were actually multiple servers with their own expansive worlds aside from the main server. The big thing for me was just exploring what everyone made; the internet was fledgling and new back in those days, and it was awesome as a kid to learn other kids were out there making things. Sure, there were adult creators, but most of these creations were made by kids between 10 and 16. Now though I’d say it functions as a really cool time capsule of a simpler time. The fun came in sharing, creating and playing other creations. If you’ve never played it, you may not find it nearly as great as I do, honestly. The nostalgia hits hard, but overall I’d say it’d be worth at least poking around for those without it, just to see it. Hell, I won’t ever turn anyone away from it though. I think it’s important to archive a piece of obscure internet history like this and to also spread the word to anyone else who played it back then. I’d love to give the game new life.

As for files? I’d say just download the last known version of the game before they got rid of player creation, the offline campaign and forced it to always be online. The file to download is Graal 1.4.0. It contains all you need to play it, and please note, a good chunk of what’s in the game is from kids who are full grown adults now. If anything, treat it as a museum. If you do want more, the jedi level pack is a good pack to play around with.

That’s the gist of it. Well ahead of its time too.

What’s that?

p5yk0t1km1r4ge,
@p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, real talk: they did their best to scrub the internet free of the old clients. I’m amazed I found it-the last time I saw the game in this form was like 2003 (i was a kid). The last time I even played it was roughly 2001.

Probably threatened by unixmad, fucking piece of shit. He singlehandedly destroyed everything, made it a shitty online only mobile game with predatory mtx and destroyed the old game from memory.

Man, it was a HUGE impact on my childhood. I would’ve loved that. I just want the original to come back to life; looking at all these old versions and walking around really threw me for a loop. I’m sure there was a lot of dirt behind the scenes I was too young to pick up on, but I’d go back in a heartbeat if we got OG PC Graal back.

p5yk0t1km1r4ge,
@p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, basically was. Such an awesome piece of internet history.

p5yk0t1km1r4ge,
@p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world avatar

Same, man. I also loved just making shit and playing around with the scripts.

It’s a good thing I’m a Firefox boy. I’m honestly fucking sick of companies making free money off me at my inconvenience while I get nothing in return.

Fuck no. I know this is sarcasm but still, fuck no.

Dude, we all know how this will end. Nothing is going to happen to him, and he’ll worm his way out of it like the cockroach he is.

Still, how the hell does it fit?

Ok that definitely makes a lot more sense than I was thinking haha thank you for this

Can someone please give me a run down on why everyone seems to love this show? I know nothing about it, coming from a corner of genuine ignorance here.

Could you give some examples on how it appeals to adults? I have 2 children with autism and I’m looking to find something safe for them that doesn’t get obnoxious
