Buck Rogers has the overland exploration of Venus and Mars aswell, which breaks up the space combat exploration very nicely. One of my most memorable parts however is one of the very first missions, where your crew stumbles across a large derelict ship floating in space amid junk and wrecks. Progressing and exploring that ship just has a fantastically chilling atmosphere, emphasised by the fact that your party is still very inexperienced at that time, anything could potentially kill you.
But yeah, get into Countdown to Doomsday if sci/fi cRPGs are your forte - its great stuff!
If anyone has played Unlimited Adventures, I think it'd also be great to identify some fan made missions that they've enjoyed and can reccomend to others. I've never really persevered with getting into any, but might have to one of these days!
Whilst I was able to play and finish Pool of Radiance once on the C64 and again on PC a couple of years later, I could never get more than half way through Ubisoft's blasphemic abomination - which was a pitiful excuse for a modern revisitation'. Talk about Ruined Memories of MythDrannor.
Thankfully Azure Bonds also takes place there towards the conclusion to cleanse such blasphemy!
So unless it has since been heavily modded to make it more interactive, meaningful and somewhat more balanced, (I found too many magic weapons ridiculously early) I doubt I could ever bring myself to go near it again.
It doesn't really have a place in a 'goldbox' thread, if you ask me. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Geez am feeling a touch grumpy now, might have to go vent some modern frustration for a bit on some hapless creatures from Devil Whiskey!
