Re: What game are you playing now?

Thanks for the review, newt. Added Swords & Sorcery - Underworld to my Steam wishlist. Too bad it's not on GOG. I particularly like that it's short (you took 15 hrs). I wish more good RPGs were made that were <40 hours as I only have 30-40 hours a month for gaming and when a game drags out for …

I can confirm now, that Tim Tully used a Roland CM-32L and not a Roland MT-32. In addition, he used an SC-55 for the Main Themes for Might and Magic IV and Might and Magic V. However, New World Computing did commission for Roland MT-32 music to be made, and Tim didn't use any of the extended …

Swords & Sorcery - Underworld - DEFINITIVE EDITION Completed this just now! All in all it took just over 15 hours and I enjoyed every minute. It takes the combat and character advancement of the first two Might & Magic games and stuffs them into the dungeon design of Wizardry V . The interface …

Finished Call of Cthulhu, A waste of time, it's a walking simulator with laughable stealth and shooter sections, both are completely devoid of challenge. Started Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order and damnit if I cannot stop accidentally buying and picking Dark Souls-alikes. I thought this would be an …

Swords & Sorcery - Underworld - DEFINITIVE EDITION Interesting little game! Combine the level structure of classic Wizardry with the character development/combat of Might & Magic I/II , and you have Swords & Sorcery. Much like Might & Magic or Wizardry , you create a party of six and begin standing …

I rarely cook (my wife is much better at it than I am), but today I finished work early so I cooked up some potatoes and sausage sprinkled with cheese, with just some pepper and garlic for flavoring. Quite tasty and we both enjoyed it over a couple of beers. No pictures though. I am now drinking …

in DOS
This might be old hat here, but once upon a time I made an attempt to play the DOS version of Wizardry 1 in dosbox. The RNG seemed totally FUBARed. I was going out of my mind, all my characters were constantly losing stats every time they leveled up. I never once successfully raised a dead …

Might & Magic II I realized that this: I preferred how the outdoors maps in M&M I have impassible "walls" to give you a better sense of actually exploring a wilderness full of thick forests and mountains. In M&MII , you can purchase the exploration/navigation skills very early on, which allows you …

Had a rainy weekend and no emergency jobs to get done, so I spent a lot of time making progress in a couple of RPGs. Curse of the Azure Bonds This is shaping up to be a very excellent sequel to Pool of Radiance , indeed. I finished reading the Azure Bonds novel and it's fun to pick up the references …

Have you read the Dragonlance Chronicles? I read those in high school and really loved them, so much that I still (in my early 50s) use some of the character names in my various RPG adventures. I'm now 7.5 hours into Betrayal at Krondor and am pretty much hooked. There's a lot of similarities to …

Curse of the Azure Bonds I couldn't resist the temptation, so I imported my winning Pool of Radiance party and Hillsfar character and ended up playing for a few hours over the last couple of days! As a sequel to Pool , it's very good. For some reason I was under the impression that it was linear …
