I can't speak for CRPG Addict, but back in the dark ages, I was a one of the first owners of the original Amiga (later called the Amiga 1000), and I totally loved it. Sounded like those last encounters with Gothmenes were some nasty ones, though you'd be the first to admit that you inadvertently made them considerably harder on yourself. I can accept that there's plenty of other, better 1991 games left to get through, though.Ĭongrats on defeating PoD, by the way. I only bring it up because I'd like to hear your thoughts on the game: from its weird backstory to its similarities to Captive (which is hardly an incentive for you to get it working, I realize) and its uncommon structure. It was also considerably more user-friendly than pulling my old Atari STE out of mothballs and setting it up on a monitor with screen/video capture.) (Back when I was doing that ST feature, I switched from Hatari to STEem because the latter was far more user-friendly. It was the ST version using STEem, if you'd like to try that route yourself. I recently LPed the beginning areas of Knightmare for a recurring feature of mine without much issue. So barring any movement on the above, the next post you see might be on Legend of Lothain or Heavy on the Magick, neither of which I've looked at yet, so heaven knows whether I'll have any problems with them. The game is indecently large, and I'll probably need double that time to encounter enough plot points to have anything to write about. This one is probably more solvable than the others, but I reached it after a string of failures with the games above and was low on patience.Īs for Fate: Gates of Dawn, I sank 8 hours into it last week and didn't get any further than mapping a few partial levels of catacombs. Knightmare is giving me the usual issues working with the Amiga, which in this case means that it freezes on loading most of the time, and when it doesn't, it doesn't stop asking me for a disk even though I've inserted one. Adjusting the CPU speed doesn't seem to help. I have a Logitech controller that, after some effort, I basically have working with DOSBox, but either it's reading my inputs erratically or I just suck. Moonstone is proving so frustrating that I might add a "keyboard control only" restriction to my master game list. I'm new to the emulator, so that might be causing part of the problem. At the same time, I'm having trouble finding a workable download of Le Fer d'Amnukor, the sequel to Tyrann, which exists only for the Oric.
