Burntime

[sparrowtm]

Just played Burntime again, and a voice deep inside of me asked: "Why is there no Codex-love for this little gem? Post-apoc, survival, survival, non-popamole et al?"

Anyone else remember this game?

I remember a time when game devs weren't afraid to try novel concepts and mix&match genre elements instead of milking franchises to maximize profit.

Burntime, Spellcraft, Heimdall... those were the days.

"Why is there no Codex-love for this little gem? Post-apoc, survival, survival, non-popamole et al?"

from what i recall it was too random. you were either just barely making by or completely steamrolling over the other players.

besides, what do you mean no love...? we have burntime avatars.

what suicidebunny said... no balance

i wish i could find the manual... it was 1/3 manual and 2/3 treatise on nuclear accidents

Spellcraft

Spellcraft: Aspects of Valor? Yes, it was fun game. Battles in the Air and Ether planes was too random, though. One dispel magic and you are dead. The most great part of the game was experimenting and hunting for spell formulas.

The manual is pretty cool, I have it in the box.

Hrm, seems like a LP is due indeed. Onwards!

Here is a site with the Manual:

I really liked the art direction & music in this game.

IMHO, its got more of a "80's Post Apocalyptic Movie" vibe then the Fallout's ...

Edit: note the underlined part...

There exists a remaster of Burntime that runs w/o DOSBox and comes with bug fixes and a graphics toggle.

Haven't tried it yet, but here you go.
