For years I've been a huge fan of indie/shareware/freeware computer role playing games, going back to Nahlkah and forward to this game. This forum has been a great resource in finding such games I hadn't heard of before. A co-blogger and I have decided to put together an Indie/Shareware/Freeware CRP...

OSG, agreed on both counts. 1. Deathlord was great fun -- HUGE world, really diverse character classes, good combat, and the Asian setting was a nice change from the routine. I find emulators far too limiting to use these days -- the interface just drives me crazy -- but your reference tempts me to ...

Don't worry, Charlie Brown, I'm sure Lucy won't pull the football away this time.

You know, retro games are supposed to provoke nostalgia through their graphics and gameplay. They aren't supposed to make you nostalgic for the time they were announced.

I didn't play it when it first came out, but played it when it was re-released somewhere between IV and V. IIRC I was supposed to be studying for a psych final the next day and rode my bike about 10 miles to the game store instead, bought it, rode home, and played most of the way through. The psych ...

Here are the elements of my favorite crpgs: 1. They're hard. I don't like games where you climb levels and accumulate loot without real effort. I like them hard, approaching frustrating, so you feel real accomplishment. Examples: Might and Magic I (remember how hard it was to stay alive?), Nahlakh, ...

Major congrats on the impending release. Huzzah!

Hmmm. I've heard there is an edited version in the U.S. and an unedited version internationally. Is there any substantive/meaningful content excluded from the U.S. version? I'm not talking about pixilated boobies. I don't care about being denied the ability to see pixilated boobies. I've been marrie...

Definitely Ultima III: Exodus, played on an Apple IIe during the summer of 1983. That hooked me on computer games in general and crpgs in particular. I'll never forget the thrill of finding the hidden town or the first time I entered the treasure room in Death Gulch.

The original Pool of Radience was great. That was the first game I played on an IBM, freshman year of college.

Thanks for the suggestions, y'all.

So while I'm waiting for this very promising looking game to come out ... I've got a jones for an old-school party-based crpg. I've played the well-known ones -- the Wizardrys, Exiles, Avernums, Tom Proudfoot's games, etc. A couple of years ago I stumbled upon Helherron; it was exactly what I was lo...

Let me add my congrats and good luck wishes. This looks like a fabulous old-skool project and I am looking forward to playing it.
