Stupid little boy.
They still remain classics that are loved and enjoyed by many still, and have yet to be bettered by the modern bells and whistles tripe.
And thus, you are manifestly out numbered by those who have replied, and if ye aren't interested, then why in the name of Elmonster did you bother to give your little worthless input? One does not play Civ3 and never will, but ye don't see me going up there and saying disparaging things about it, do you?
Ozz, ye are right on the spot. They may have a prettier sparkle, but nothing compares to the great original feel and sheer breadth of these brilliant games.
It is one's intention to get the whole lot on CD, and get slowdown software so one can play them again, including Bucko, and the UA scenarios out there, plus make a few of one's own. It was a simple, but great system.
One has the solutions to all the games, and various Darkshade tips.
That is where Simon Darkshade first made his appearence...
The best magic items were those in Curse of the Azure Bonds - in the latter two Realms games, they went a bit more generic (more so in PoD that Secret).
Pool of Radience was simply brilliant, as were the others, both Realms and Krynn. Unlimited Adventures was great, but one would like the capability to create new monsters (and import graphics), new magic items, and larger adventures. But it looks as if the scenario people have found some ways around this.
>Sigh< such memories... Making it out of Phlan for the first time; beginning Death Knights of Krynn; cracking Pool of Radience...
