(07-28-2009, 11:46 AM)Dark Ultima Wrote: I've got Wizardry GOLD. It seems alot like Might & Magic (I happen to have Might & Magic: World of XEEN as well). Never tried playing it, got sucked in by Ultima Underworld, Wasteland, Bard's Tale and Might & Magic. (I bought a collection of oldschool RPGs. Seriously awesome stuff)
I should install it under DosBox and give it a whirl.
It would arguably easier to run Dark Spire as a taste test, considering it's more forgiving and easier to emulate. I only own Heroes of Might and Magic 2 (It's a Turn Based Strategy with hex-based RPG battles! It rocks! The computer cheats like a whore!) and HoMoM 5, which was like an early Oblivion, and I hated it.
To tell the truth I can't progress beyone the 2nd floor and Basement in Dark Spire. I nerfed myself by having one of every base class (BAD IDEA, Thieves are combat useless, 2-Warrior 1 Cleric 1 Wizard has a better damage output), meaning after a while enemies are quicker at killing me than I am at killing them.
Vipershark, Nethack is like TDS, but it takes more cues from Rogue.
Imagine a tree diagram starting with Tabletop RPGs. The initial 2 branches are Rogue (Giving us Nethack all the way to Izuna and Mystery Dungeon) and Wizardry (Giving us Dragon Quest all the way to FF13).
Actually, that sounds like it would be an interesting project to make. Would anyone help me if I tried?
