![]() I will delete any comments that simply point out typos. There is no such thing as "necro-posting" on this blog, and thus no need to use that term. As such, all comment threads on this blog are live and active unless I specifically turn them off. Reader comments on "old" games continue to supplement our understanding of them. I read all comments, no matter how old the entry. I will delete these on a case-by-case basis depending on my interpretation of what constitutes a "slur."īlogger has a way of "eating" comments, so I highly recommend that you copy your words to the clipboard before submitting, just in case. Comments on my blog are not a place for slurs against any race, sex, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, or mental or physical disability. ![]() Please at least mention "ROT13" in the comment so we don't get a lot of replies saying "what is that gibberish?"ĥ. I appreciate if you use ROT13 for explicit spoilers for the current game and upcoming games.

It makes it impossible to tell who's who in a thread. I will delete comments containing profanity on a case-by-case basis.ģ. I don't want my blog flagged by too many filters. Please avoid profanity and vulgar language. (For instance, that GOG is selling the particular game I'm playing is relevant that Steam is having a sale this week on other games is not.)

Thanks /u/vga256.I welcome all comments about the material in this blog, and I generally do not censor them. I spent almost as long reading the Help Web as I did playing the game.ĮDIT: the BaK Web is now hosted at. The BaK Web was one of the earliest and most complete game wikis I've found back in the 1990s, back when wikis were a very early concept. The BaK Web was rehosted here by user vga256 from the GOG forums. Feel free to share that zip file as much as you want - it's part of his legacy, now. A one-man video game wiki!

I hadn't realized the sites were down until after he passed away and desperately tried to get the BaK web back through the WayBack machine, hoping to revive it somehow or at least keep it archived - and I was incredibly relieved and happy to see that you here have already shared the.
