Re: Remember when

I'm not that old :)

My first RPG was Quest for Glory (came on nine 5 1/4" floppies)

Re: Diablo 3 confirmed

I'll probably pick it up.
I prefer old-school RPGs to action-rpgs, but Blizzard know how to polish a title. The artwork and the enviroments look pretty amazing, and online play sounds appealing.

I am more exicted about Starcraft II however :)

Re: Space cRPG?

There's also Mass Effect, but without having played it I don't think its too much like an old school RPG.

Re: Space cRPG?

Im looking forward to playing a good sci-fi RPG.

Fallout was of course brilliant, but I think as other people have pointed out the niche within a niche reduces your market. I believe Baulders Gate outsold fallout by a large margin.

I'm actually from New Zealand but I voted Austrailia 'cause it's the closest. But shh! Don't tell anyone.

Thanks to everyone for trying it. Unfortunately I don't have a mac so I haven't been able to test it on that front, good to know that it works, if not on every mac platform avalible. Saving has been the biggest request to date. Unfortunately with the random generation of levels its a little hard to ...

Unfortunately no joke - I never got a renewal email and somebody stole my domain, it's been a hectic couple of days.

The games back up now.

Thats unfortunate, I purposely didn't use Java 1.6 so that more people would be able to play. I think I actually use some 1.5 specifics in the programming, but I might have a quick look to see if I can port it back a version, but I'm not sure...

Edit : Just checked, I can't retrofit it I'm afraid

Thanks :) The game requires Java 1.5 as a minimum. There are some very difficult to track down bugs, the game runs perfectly fine on almost all systems, but there are some random bugs that occur every very rarely - I'm working on improving my error loging system, so I can hurry up and declare the ga...

Although the page loads, all I get in the game area is a grey box with a little red X in the upper left corner. I tried Firefox and Safari. Is your game Mac compatible? Jude Theoretically the game should be mac compatible because it's java - However, I haven't tested it on the mac, I might have to ...

I really enjoyed HoMM III - Unfortunately I never got my hands on the expansion pack so I haven't ever played with the random map maker. I used to play Kings Bounty many many moons ago, like 12 years ago. Theres a remake coming out soon :) I've got HoMM IV on my shelf but I've never been able to pla...
