I remember the happy days of the beholder games (though part three sucked bigtime). I also remember a fantastic game called black crypt (for the amiga) much quicker "engine" than in the beholder games and it had a cool magic system.
Ofcourse I have played all the golden box games. I remember the psycho dual classed characters.. lvl 30 figther dualed to a mage.. hehe. And the delayed blast fireballs that did 120 hp's of damage.. hehe.. And how easy a dragon was to slay. I also remember how it was possible to transfer characters between dragonlance and forgotten and still keep most of the magic items.. enough of this rambling Greets Ashoka |

I really enjoyed "Curse of the Asure Bonds" and "Secret of the Silver Blades", some old SSI goldbox games. In some ways, they were more complex, allowing you to carry gold, silver, copper, electrum, and platinum.
A more recent classic which is also excellent (and downloadable for free) is "Betrayal at Krondor". |

Did anyone Play those Dragonlance games they made 12 - 13 years ago around the time of Bard's tale was replaced. I had it on my old 8bit computer.
It was side scrolling game wandering round a single dungeon. It was quite short takes only 3 or 4 hours to complete) and at the end of the game you had to kill a Dragon (Which I did) and you had to pick up a disc but I did not and lost the game, but because the game was tape loading I could never be bothered to load it again. Anyone else remember this game, and it's full name? |

. As for the name, I can't remember. I had it on either the Atari or Amiga . I think I got the most kills as Flint Fireforge because you could throw axes or something ------------------ In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is pimp. http://lordraptor0.tripod.com/index.html |

I remember those games. I thought Dungeon Keeper was awesome, ahead of it's time too. You could also throw items at creatures in that as well btw. I can supply a link if you want it where you can d/l all of these games, EoB, EoB 2 etc etc. I'm pretty sure it's an all legal and above board site. Let me know and I'll see if I can dig it out for you.
