Re: What game are you playing now?

Nox Archaist (PC [Apple II]) I finally had a couple of hours free to play this a bit more last night. I followed up on a sub-quest and explored some mountain caves, and leveled up a few characters. Leveling up in this game is a real treat; you immediately get to spend 12 points on your main …

Keep us posted on your progress. This sounds intriguing. Are you playing in emulation or on your Apple? I'd be tempted to play through AppleWin for the Mockingboard emulation... I'm playing this one on an emulator, for the same reason (no Mockingboard on my IIc) and also because I don't want to …

Nox Archaist (PC [Apple II]) This is an extremely ambitious "old-school" RPG developed and released for the Apple II in 2020. It's a bit more advanced technically than Ultima V, and is an interesting look at what a possible followup to that legendary game might have looked like on the Apple II. It …

To each his own. I've not touched any of the newer games and remakes yet except Dragon Quest Builders for the PS4 in the last couple of years because I was curious, quite liked that one, sort of a Dragon Quest/Minecraft crossover. I also like grinding quite a bit because it helps me understand how …

Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos I got through the Draracle's Cave in one go. I remember having a bit of a rough time here my last time through, with the cavemen and the mosquitoes being particularly tough. This time, it was very easy. I think a big part of that is I chose Ak'Shel this time …

The Legend of Kyrandia: Hand of Fate I also ended up playing this for a bit. I finished the first game back when it was released (it was literally the first PC game I ever bought, along with Ultima VII and Quest for Glory III [that was a great day!!!]). It's one of the handful of point and click …

Interesting, do you know is this rebalancing only on CD version or do the updates released to the floppy version do the same? 1.23 patch is the last one released to floppy version but the readme seems to mention only that it fixes minor bugs with no mention what the previous patches did, or so I …

Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos I've attempted this several times over the years, but usually end up quitting out of boredom (early on) or frustration (later in the game). The furthest I've gotten is the White Tower, which I remember being extremely tedious and/or frustrating. Anyway, I decided …

Thanks for posts on this game! I can't remember hardly any details, but I did finish this game on my Apple II probably when I was 13 or 14 years old (almost 40 years ago!). What I do remember is it seemed to take way longer than 10 hours though, and seemed bigger than life at the time with the time …

I miss rental video places. It was expensive as hell and a fuking nightmare to remember to return the VHSs in time but me and my brother actually watched the entire Star Trek Voyager show on rental video. Nowadays everything is so accessable that I can't seem to appreciate movies/shows in the same …

Ultima II: Revenge of the Enchantress (Apple II) Finally done with this! I'm not gonna lie: I followed a walkthrough for this one. I can't even imagine how many hours upon hours of grinding you'd need to do to save up enough gold to replenish your constantly dwindling HP and food as you explore …

The internet has also allowed easy access for crazy to find crazy. It used to be impossible because you had to filter through so many sane people in your daily life. Definitely! I think you summarized the issue with social media perfectly. Social media was not created for a specific purpose ( …

The wider internet, on the other hand, is like walking into a random large shopping mall and shouting "hey everyone, come here right now and give me your totally raw unqualified opinion on every single thing I do This is a good point. If you were walking around one day and some random person walked …

I miss the 90s, too, though the early 21st century wasn't bad either. Personally, it can be fun to look back on the 80s/90s and remember how much better things were then. Companies were clearly hyping/marketing their products even back then, but it was much less obnoxious. If you didn't subscribe to …

Ultima II (Apple II) I was able to put a little more time into this. I saved up enough for another round of stat upgrades, and my CHA+INT reached a level where I get a good discount on equipment, so I was off to buy the Power Armor. While traveling back and forth through time, I was pleased to see …
