Re: What game are you playing now?

Dark Forces Played through missions 2 and 3. Mission 2 is frustrating because like 90% of the level is completely useless; but because you wouldn't know that the first time through, you end up searching through a bunch of useless buildings just to find absolutely nothing. Then you turn find the …

I haven't been much in the mood to play anything requiring much thought/planning/note-taking (i.e. RPGs) due to a bunch of annoying business-related stuff I have to deal with all at once, so I've been winding down with some action games: Dark Forces The looooooooow mouse sensitivity in this game …

Re: Diagnosing MT-32 MIDI connection

When you start SoftMPU does it display "SoftMPU" on the MT-32 display? If the settings are correct and the cable and MT-32 are both working, SoftMPU itself sends a message to the MT-32 when you run it. If your Gameport-MIDI cable has both MIDI-IN and MIDI-OUT cables, are you certain you have them …

Quest for Glory II I played QfG1 (EGA) to completion for the first time last year and really enjoyed it. I'm not much of a point-and-click adventure fan, but I found the mixture of light RPG elements, non-linearity, and common-sense approach to most of the puzzles in QfG to be quite refreshing ( …

The cultists react quicker (and since they are hit-scan it makes them seem "more accurate") in Fresh Supply compared with One Unit Whole Blood on Lightly Broiled, unless you go in and reduce the cultist accuracy setting using the custom difficulty level option. The final patch improved things, but …

@badmojo If you ever have a solid block of free time, by all means give it another shot! Dynamite is plentiful (you will almost never run out), so it doesn't hurt to throw a bundle around every corner. The alternate fire mode is great for this, as it lights a timer fuse and allows dynamite to bounce …

Sorry for the double post! Blood FINALLY got Sound Canvas music working on this. I discovered that my One Unit Whole Blood CD is indeed working, it just does not allow you to install the game in DOS (?????). I had to install the game in Windows and then copy over the installation folder to my DOS …

I've Might and Magic 1 through 3 so far. I'm not sure if you're a fan of 3-5 as they went in a very different direction with the gameplay but the world-building and kinds of weird stuff that seem to be Might & Magic trademarks are still there at least in Isles of Terra. I enjoyed all of them though …

Loved Arena as well -- feel like it's unappreciated. I played it for the first time around 2005 or so...and after I had played Morrowind already, but before Daggerfall. Had a blast. I did notice the issue with the speed... and it seemed very difficult (wasn't aware of the +/- speed at the time) to …

@DracoNihil I am pretty certain the systems are the same for both games, though I haven't played Daggerfall in years. You can click on the doors of buildings to identify them (add them to the automap) in Arena, but the towns are so massive it would be a waste of time imo. Better to ask directions, …

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord (PC 1984) I listed the PC release date above, as that's the version I played, though the game was originally released in 1981 for the Apple II according to Mobygames. I actually only played & finished this game a couple years ago, as I had previously …
