Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

This is where I got it. If you're on Windows 7 and the walls act a little wonky turn off fullscreen in the settings, it happened to me and a few friends.

What sorcery is this!?

[–]U_C_[S] 1 point2 points ago

If you go into the screensaver's settings, you can change the walls, floor, and ceiling to any .bmp you have. I just changed them to some background sprites ripped from the Sonic games.

Yeah I took a windows desktop background of some estate grounds and made up a forest maze for my old 3D maze screensaver (at work). Of course I had to use MSpaint to make up the panels on that old Win 98 machine.

sick, installing it at work on the public computer.

[–]skyfox315 0 points1 point ago

[–]Terce 0 points1 point ago

No, nobody remembers it. You are the only one. Thank you for finally reminding people what this is after all of these years and being the first and only person to do so

My maze always had pron, until one day my mum came in and saw it. Had to use scrolling banner after that.
