Re: What game are you playing now?

Nice one, that is a fun game and the only Larry I've ever finished. I played through the original and VGA versions back to back a while ago to see how they differed and they didn't much gameplay wise. The VGA version is a lot easier on the eyes though of course. Thanks! I really liked it. I want to …

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards (MS-DOS) I decided this would be the next adventure to play, and before I knew it I had completed the game (an hour or two). I've made many attempts to finish this over the years, so I already knew what to do for about the first half of the game. …

I played GLQuake on my Win9x PC, but only completed the first episode. I could never get into the multi-episode games like this, Duke3D, etc. I'd finish the first episode and feel like I was done with the game. Never moved on to episodes 2 or 3. Avadon is on my playlist and I hope I'll like it …

Nox Archaist I went and cleared the Orc Cave. There was a tough battle at the end which seemed way too difficult for my current party, but it ended up being a bit of a "puzzle" battle. Once I figured it out, it was not very difficult at all. I ended up getting a lot of gold and some nice items …

Last night I did some research on character creation on Ultima 6 and ended up creating my Avatar, defeating the gargoyles that followed us through the gate, and talking briefly with Lord British. Spent about 30 minutes playing and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I'm glad you picked this, as it's a …

Wolfenstein 3D I completed Episode 1 the other night, on the second to highest difficulty level. It was fun start to finish, and the good old trick of sticking to a wall and following it to the end solved every maze. I had a lot of fun replaying this and eventually want to play through the second …

Unfortunately, I discovered that my MT-32 stopped working normally since the last time I fired it up. :( I have not had a chance to troubleshoot yet, but I've got to look at the MIDIMAN card, the cable, and the MT-32 itself. That will be another project for another day. For now, I'm still playing …

@liqmat donated a beautiful 486 system to me for the cost of shipping, so I'll be setting that up this weekend and trying some games that are perfect for it and are on my playlist: Ultima 6 Ultima 7 Pt 1 (already beat this in 1991, but will eventually replay it) Darklands M&M3 Ravenloft 1&2 maybe …

Space Quest: Chapter I - The Sarien Encounter (DOS) I've been itching to play another graphic adventure game recently, and decided to give this a shot today as I have fond memories of (unsuccessfully) playing Space Quest IV back in the day at a friend's house. Three hours later, I completed the …

...Will be checking out some DOS RPGs this weekend too. ;) Looking forward to hearing what you play this weekend, and thoughts/impressions! --- I had 20-30 minutes free between work and boxing, so I played Wolfenstein 3D This is a nostalgic classic from my younger years, and I remember this as …

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 …
