Tacticular Cancer: We'll have your balls

  1. Having trouble staying logged in? Note: We are rpgcodex.NET not .COM. Trying to login via .com will cause issues. Make sure you are on rpgcodex.net to login and all will be fine.

    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    I know the game Darklands was a long time ago but I remember playing this game and liking it only to not get very far because of a lot of bugs at the time.

    Does anyone know who owns the right to this title or if anything similar compares to it? I

    You used to be able to order it from Ultimate Darklands, but they are down due to their host going out of business. It's taking them some time to get things back in order. You might want to try Darklands.Net though. And I think you can still order it through Chips 'N' Bits.

    As for a game that's like it...... well, historical-wise, you may want to check out Teudogar And The Alliance With Rome. Other than that, there really is no games LIKE Darklands that I can really think of. It's a unique title that still entertains me to this day.

    Not so fast thar.

    The game just arrived on my doorstep today, and it runs just fine on my rig (with sound and everything). The key is using it with the fantastic DOS emulator, DOSBox.

    I only managed to run it on XP with VDMSound. Classic game! I like it better than Ultima VII.
