  • Please don’t misunderstand- I still have the magic book that came with it (I lost the Kyle the Younger book), and when my mom passed away a few years ago and I had to clean out her house, I sold the cloth map on ebay (I got like 60€ I think). I was annoyed I couldn’t find that little ankh that came w/ the game…

    I used to read the magic spells book over and over. I was probably 9 or 10. Y(up) and Z(down) … god those dungeons were tricky. I was always scared to drink from fountains (blech, poisoned?) Its been a while.

    So I know all about it, the mantras… those portals w/ the phases of the moon… anyway, I was young. I think I got one of the virtues, but I felt like to get the Valor one you had to kill like 20 guards and it was never gonna happen. I did show every friend who came over the tarot card scene at the beginning to choose your character class, though.

    I tried to see if I could finally make it about 5 years ago and downloaded some kinda emulator, but I think I had trouble “changing discs” and lost progress and gave up.

    What emulator are you using? i played it on Apple IIc, and I’d want to use that same exact everything if I was to give it a go.













  • money! just production costs I’d say. I took a 3D design class forever ago and they made us get Zip disks, and if you wanted to work on stuff at home that meant you needed a zip drive. My dad (RIP) bought me a drive and I’m somehow still touched as it was a reasonably big purchase at the time for a slacker 18 year old doing 3D design at a community college

    Not a 3D designer now, finally went back to college for something else in my 20s… anyway, rip my dad and rip the zip drive, they were cool. 100mb wow
