Unless I play full time during the BIIIG week-end of the Ascension (?), May 23-27th ! But you will surely have finished by then. I am halfway through the Bandits Camp - you ?

I remember the great days when my husband and me were still students and made a race to be the first to finish Ultima (4 and 5) - we played for a full week, days and night ! It was before the multi games, and it was fun !

The game was 'Populous', I didn't play it but my husband did. How did you manage to play it without understanding French ??? And how did you end up with a French version ?

You will probably find it weird, but since I have always played PnP and computer RPGs in English, now I understand better RPG terms in English than in French. And I feel that most of these terms sound silly when translated in French. I hate throwing 'projectile magiques' instead of Magic Missiles !

HeHe I like competitions I can win

but you've got a head start, I have just cleared the mines.

Almost worth becoming a student again

Populous was dificile but hey I'm good

I got it via a friend who somehow got a French version, it was a copy so it was free, so I didn't mind

Playing an RPG in a foreign language would be an experience I guess, maybe I'll try it someday - Starwars I'll play a wookie
