Quitting smoking may improve your wallet bulge too.

At the moment, I'm playing Eye of the beholder 2 - the legend of Darkmoon. It was developed by Westwood and published by SSI, in December 1991. It has VGA graphics, but only supports Soundblaster/Adlib FM music.

Did you meet the 'Sentry' yet?!

Something to consider.

Thanks, folks. I'm actually getting better now, the fever is gone. Anyway, I think I need to play more action and flightsims --kind of games that keep both of my hands busy, leaving no free hand for smoking.

Well at least I'm not a heavy drinker anymore. 😀

Not yet. I've only covered the forest, temple, underground, and now I'm in the barracks...

Care to write After-Action Report? Probably just a part of the entire game?

Your "action report" was really awesome! Unfortunately, I can't be bothered to do one myself!

@Kreshna
I am in the process of quitting. Been wearing Nicorette patches for the last 16 days. I still smoke cigarettes, but instead of the daily 20 now are just 4-5. 😁 And the smoke quitting counselor is an attractive lady doctor close to my age ;;)

Whoa. I'm still doing a daily 40. Once I tried to go cold turkey like my uncle did, but I failed (unlike him).

No wonder you succeed! 😁

OK? 😳 🤣

Do you mean the Sentry area? - The part where your path is blocked by a wall which moves when you do? If yes, then I have got past this puzzle. At the bottom of this webpage, is the solution -

Yep, me and a friend of mine with whom I was playing this game at the time were stuck at the sentry for days before figuring out how to pass it.. we finished the game nonetheless, brings back memories 😀

Two: Simon the Sorcerer and Red Baron (which I actually have on floppies with no floppy drive 😀) - I hit GOG's spring sale.

I've just completed Eye of the beholder 2, the legend of Darkmoon.

I've just started Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar. I'm playing this game with the VGA graphics & MIDI music patch. Some original screenshots (CGA and EGA) can be found on this mobygames webpage -

It's an enhanced Simon the Sorcerer music soundtrack. 😀

There's an awesome Ultima IV character editor called u4edit.exe. Using it, I've given myself the "blink spell", and was then able to hop over to an island to chant a mantra at the Honesty shrine. Oh the irony!

Digger. And Pub Pool. (CGA DOS games...definitely old school!)

Been playing a little bit of Shadows Over Riva, but I think I'm going to put it back up on the shelf. I'm impressed with the 3d world, but the interface screams SVGA.

It's a good game anyway. I finished aeons ago. I could never finish the other two parts from the trilogy (blade of destiny and star trail). Too difficult.
