  1. Amiga, Apple, Atari and Commodore Exclusive Must Play RPGs

    Dungeon Krampfer of course! Great memories.

  2. Information Realms of Arkania HD Remake Announced

    A youtube video with four minutes of gameplay: The mountains and the whole rather spartan looking outside environment is positively reminiscent of Wizardy 8. The turn based combat (1:24) is also a positive incline, and I hope these camera zooms can be completely disabled. Still, they could...

  3. Information Realms of Arkania HD Remake Announced

    GameStar (one of the big German game magazines) has a new article on Das Schwarze Auge - Die Schicksalsklinge HD with new Screenshots that look quite promising. Well the map actually looks like cheap CGI, but at least it is back. Turn-based combat is back with options like "Kampf starten"...

  4. Divinity: Original Sin Pre-Release Thread

    Pretty much this. Larian is pressing all the right buttons with the game itself (no-level scaling, turn based TOEE style combat, friendly fire, lockpicking, sneaking, not to mention DRM-free and Linux support included), but then an exclusive item is announced which threshold to receive it is...

  5. Divinity: Original Sin Pre-Release Thread

    Just increased my pledge. Larian, you guys are awesome, never give in to the decline!

  6. Game News Shadowrun Returns Alpha Gameplay Footage

    Todays videos from SXSW with Weisman and Gitelman on Shadowrun Returns: Part 1: Part 2: It is however pretty much the same video as the previous online one, the only interesting bits are the question/answers from the audience.

  7. Submit and vote on interview questions for Brian Mitsoda and Guido Henkel

    Guido Henkel: 1. What is the story behind putting all these faces from actors like Sean Connery, Oliver Hardy or Pierce Brosnan into Spirit of Adventure (see: http://hg101.kontek.net/arkania/arkania5.htm ) 2. What needs to be done to get you into kickstarting a CRPG?

  8. Demise: Ascension $6 sale on GamersGate (excellent grid-based dungeon crawler)

    Bought the bundle, I think I can trust someone whose avatar picture is Arturius. The Demise website looks like an old forgotten geocities relict, I think it fits the game perfectly. How does dying work in this game? The introduction video on youtube from the developer shows how he gets killed...

  9. Game News Wasteland 2 News: Kickstarter Update, Ranger Concept Art, and Michael Stackpole on Wasteland

    Looks like some Chaos Engine!

  10. Information Shadowrun Returns Via Kickstarter

    Jordan Weisman seems enthusiastic and honest, but I don't see how is doing a much better job with kickstarter than Fargo. Fargo was never so ambiguous and vague with stuff like multiplayer PVP, cooperative, Linux and his tablet focus. Before the latest project update #3, it was not even clear...

  11. Information Shadowrun Returns Via Kickstarter

    So as someone who played the 2nd Edition of Shadowrun way back then, I hope the current (4th or 20th Anniversary Edition) is not as MMO inspired as D&D 4th? Anyway, Jordan Weisman, not only responsible for Shadowrun but also fucking Battletech/Mechwarrior and Earthdawn. Gonna throw some cash...

  12. Kickstart Opportunities

    If Jon Van Caneghem would start a kickstarter for a Might & Magic blobber in the same style as Isles of Terra or World of Xeen (and possibly resurrecting New World Computing), I would pledge even more than for Wasteland 2 right now.

  13. Game News Wasteland 2 Kickstarter Now Live!

    Backed it with $15 for great justice. Honestly, if they would just license the JA2 engine it would already be cumtastic very nice. Turn based is a huge turn on.

  14. [Poll] Ishar, Arkania and Amber

    Haha you:patriot: . As was mentioned before, Das Schwarze Auge (Realms of Arkania) is so vastly superior to the other choices, it is not even funny. One could actually play the games with the pen&paper sourcebooks (DSA 3rd edition) at that time instead of the game manual. The CD versions have...

  15. Icewind Dale The Icewind Dale Series Thread

    Ok, so with the current gog.com deal I will finally get both IWD games, never played them before. It has been a while since I played any AD&D 2.0 system, I would be happy if somebody could do a basic rundown of the multiclassing mechanics of it. For instance, AFAIR if you do not multiclass...
