Re: What game are you playing now?

-Might & Magic III won't play music when set to MT-32 and Sound Blaster. If I set it to MT-32 only, music works great but sound effects are sparse and poorly emulated by the MT-32. If I set to SB only, everything sounds good, music is still nice, just not as good as MT-32. edit: MM3 is also speed- …

Hey newtmonkey! I'm assuming you're playing this through GBC? Do you have any other experiences with Gold Box games? I'm not sure I'll like them, even with GBC, so I want to give myself the best chance by picking the best game. I keep hearing Pool of Radiance is the one, but I'm also a huge …

Pool of Radiance (DOS) Finally cleared Valhingen Graveyard! Luckily the area was quite small and uncomplicated, because the many battles against level-draining undead were starting to get annoying. The game provides you with many many "restore level" scrolls, so it's not a huge deal, but a …

Finished a large project tonight, and with glass of rum in hand, I decided to pick up a game I had been playing obsessively just a few months ago... Pool of Radiance (PC) Launching the game, I had no clue what I was supposed to do. My most recent saved game was from MAY 2020, so it had been some …

Here's what I said in another thread about 2.5 years ago: Thanks! I had scanned through much of the "What game are you playing" thread a while ago and didn't remember anyone posting about this game, so it's interesting to read your thoughts on it. I think SSI lost their magic touch after the Gold …

Here's a list of games I did not finish and probably won't try again due to either UI issues I could not get past, or simply not liking them: Dark Sun: Shattered Lands What didn't you like about this one, if you don't mind me asking? I was actually going to recommend it as it meets your criteria …

Business has finally got back to pre-COVID 19 levels and I haven't had too much time to devote to any intensive gaming. However, I was able to sneak some game time in between jobs: Vinyl Goddess from Mars (PC) Now that I have my ESS Audiodrive working properly (I had mistakenly set the jumpers to …

I definitely don't mind! Thanks! It sounds like you've played a lot more RPGs than I have. Any others (either old or modern) stand out to you? Oh! Another modern game I just recalled that you would probably enjoy: Wizards & Warriors (2000, Win95+). This game was made by the same guy that made …

I might suggest Wasteland, but you'll probably want the modern DOSBox-integrated version that doesn't force you to stop to look up the flavor text. This is another great suggestion! The combat is not great, but the way skills are integrated into the "puzzles" (maybe "obstacles" is a better word in …

Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday (DOS) I'm currently taking a break from Pool of Radiance as I've hit a spot where several of my characters have reached their max level for the game (it's set VERY low in this game considering how much combat there is) so combat has become a bit of a drag. However …
