Re: Want to play older dungeon crawlers.Where to start?

Thanks guys,you gave me a few blasts from the past and a few unknown games to try. Been playing LoL yesterday and I remember it distinctly from my old 486 PC days BUT I think I never got further than the first forest area back then for some reason. Today I have mostly been playing ToME and I'm lovin...

Re: Why is there No Quiver?

Let's say there's a quiver. Problems: 2. Switching between arrow types just got more complicated. You're right. Any benefit I was thinking about is canceled by this fact. Personally I don’t care for the different type of arrows in the game, what good are they once they are fired off and loose that ...

Re: Old school gaming Vs New games : Thoughts

Old enjoyable games on 8 bit computers needed to have gameplay in order to keep you playing,by which I mean the game could be simple but had to be fun and challenging to make you want to play them especially as you'd often have to wait 20 minutes to play them whilst they loaded from tape (often long...

Re: Why is there No Quiver?

Why not have a quiver that you hold in your offhand,it could have a counter on it just like the number of arrows shown now.I would still like this "quiver" to be an arrow and thrown missile receptacle so that I can fire all my fire,poison,ice arrows and then be able to right click the quiv...

Re: Why is there No Quiver?

I'd actually like to see a quiver type thing but not just for arrows.It'd be great to have a quiver that you open same as the other crates/bags etc with slots to drop items into such as rocks,shuriken,arrows,throwing knives. The order you stack them is the order you use them,so I'd have arrows ,shur...

Re: Broken compass, seems fine to me?

It's amazing what we gamers,nerds and geeks can get our knickers in a twist about :)

If anyone modding the game could make me a proper Silva compass with a moveable bezel I'd appreciate it ;)

Re: Lizard rogue gains less xp?

Thanks for that Crashone,I was wondering if that was the case. This kind of answers another question I was pondering,namely,would having a party of only 1 character be viable? I used to play with a barbarian as my sole character in DM and he'd gain all the xp intended to be shared with the party and...

Re: Average Age ...

I'm 47 and been playing games since the old colecovision days of Pong and Breakout.Progressed to PnP RPG's as a young teen and then CRPG's with my first being Lords of Midnight on the ZX Spectrum (does that really count as an RPG?) and then the Pools of Radiance games which I loved. Played most of t...

Re: Old school gaming Vs New games : Thoughts

I play MMORPG's but really still prefer single player CRPG's and I've come to the conclusion that the devs of MMO's feel it's a waste of time to add proper puzzles because they know the majority of players find a tough puzzle and instantly head to websites to find the solution so why bother spending...
