Ultima V: Warriors of Destiny (PC) Having completed Ultima IV recently, I have decided to play the only Ultima (except VIII, IX and the World of Ultima games) with which I have zero experience. I was immediately impressed with the writing, both in the manual and in the introduction. I was also …

Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy ~ While playing Pool of Radiance, felt a bit like I was back in 1988 😀

These guys arrived today: https://i.ibb.co/2NWXTYK/20200514-114245.jpg Sold as-is, but they are in very nice condition, and people tend to treat their stuff well here in Japan. I won't have much use for the throttle as I'm not a hardcore flight sim fan, but I am hoping that at least the Flightstick …

I'm honestly a bit disappointed with GOG in that it seems most of the DOS CD games they sell don't come with an actual working ISO. Most of the point and click adventure games use SCUMMVM, but even for games that use DOSBOX, I've found myself having to resort to archive.org to find actual ISOs for …

I've always wanted an actual dedicated MS-DOS/Win 98SE machine for gaming, but living in Japan it's very difficult to find anything here for a reasonable price. I had resigned myself to just using DOSBOX (no offense to DOSBOX, it's awesome) for the longest time, though I recently set up a 386-33 and …

One day I want to play through all the Wizardrys and all the Zorks in proper sequence. These games go from the early 80s to late 90s and are some of the original games in their genres, but aren't very well knows today. I definitely recommend playing through all the Wizardry games. Of the early …

Also another game that I don't know if you all are aware of but in 2017 a modern game very similar to Wizardry 6 & 7 was released called 'Grimoire : Heralds of the Winged Exemplar'. I stumbled across this game in my Steam account saw that I had played it for almost 5 hours and have no idea why I …

M&M2 is actually my favourite of the old school M&M games. I know people love Xeen but there's a charm to the interface and CGA graphics that just does something for me. It took a lot of what the first game did right and then expanded upon it. Also check out the various ports of the first two games …

Good luck on M&M! That's one I'd love to take a stab at one day. I've played and beaten MM3 and 4, and came close to beating 6. MM3 and 6 are actually on my playlist and I'm sure I'll get to them sometime in the next year or two. Thanks! Actually, I just completed the game this morning haha... …

Dunno if back to back posts are looked down upon here, but here's an update: Ultima: Quest of the Avatar (FC) I'm just a couple hours away from finishing this. I finished exploring every dungeon but the Abyss, gathered everything I need to finish the game, maxed out my reagents, and got my Avatar to …

I'm in the market for a dedicated DOS gaming PC, and looking at the prices out there (esp. considering I am in Japan), I really wish I held onto my first PC—a 386SX-16. A little slow, but perfectly viable for the kinds of games I play (RPGs mostly). I remember playing Gold Box games, Ultima VI, Wing …

Ultima: Quest of the Avatar FC Another day, another dungeon. I've got 5 of the dungeons completely explored now and am very slowly gaining the gold I need to get the +1 Bow for my Avatar (Ranger), otherwise he's got the best equipment possible. I maxed out his STR and DEX, so only INT is left. …

... I'll look forward to reading your gaming posts in this thread! Cheers! Thank you for the kind post, clueless1! Actually, it was your posts in this very thread that got me to join VOGONS and post here! I'm looking forward to reading more of your Wizardry thoughts. I plan on playing Wizardry 6 …

Hey guys, big CRPG fan here. I've become quite addicted over the past year or so, having completed Wizardry 1-3+5, The Bard's Tale 1-4, Wasteland 1, and Ultima 1. Right now I'm working on a few at the same time... Dragon Wars (PC) I just started this up a few days ago, but am really having a blast …
