I love learning about interesting games like this through screenshots and reviews. Keep 'em coming!


"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." - John F. Kennedy on reality

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

Thanks for the nice words! I'm running out of games a bit, so I'm actually soliciting suggestions, especially for Apple stuff. You, or anyone out there, let me know.

Meantime, a lot of my GameFAQs reviews at GameFAQs will come over, but they're not ready yet. I mean, they'd get approved, and I'm glad I wrote them, but there's a lot to touch up.

I'm dead serious when I say that when you offered to bring my reviews over a few years ago, my main concern was that there were some I might be really embarrassed about. I didn't tell you that, and I was too busy writing for other games. I guess I'm much more comfortable reading and fixing even the big mistakes in my old writing than I used to be, and I can do it more quickly.

It's been a lot of fun writing up these games and even choosing screenshots (thanks to you and Woodhouse for your patience when I goofed the first few times,) which helps because it forces me to say--what do I remember most? Wasteland was especially tough because of its clever jokes.

Good review. Good information without giving to much away.

Some of my early favorites (that I can recall right off hand) you could review.

Wizard's Crown and the sequel Eternal Dagger
Dungeon Master
Dragon Wars
Bard's Tale I, II, or III
Last Ninja
Might and Magic I or II
Early Wizardry
Early Ultima

Dungeon Master and Last Ninja, eh? Never played them. The rest, I have...but I want to polish up my reviews before sending off anything.

I've got some old ones for you, Aschultz. Try Think Quick! and Hugo's House of Horrors.
