  1. How about Tales of the Unknown? Or Loderunner: The Legend Returns? Or the Castle of Dr. Brain? Or the Island of Dr. Brain? Or Romancing the Rose? Or The Quest for the Silver Dagger? Or The Wizard of Frobozz? Or...or...or...or....

     

    As you can see, there's still a universe of puzzled adventurers out there. None of whom could possibly have slain the Three Lizards. Like I did. And many of you did.

  2. Shaila, eh? I hadn't thought of that. It fits the facts, I'll give you that, but there's another possibility.

     

    Ahem.

     

    The G5 PC was found in the Drypeak mountains. Madmen have been known to unconsciously fall into old habits.

     

    Conclusion: G5 PC was a G2 character.

     

    The G5 PC has most likely used a Geneforge in the past.

     

    Conclusion: Phariton, Barzahl, and what-his-face the Awakened researcher are the best candidates.

     

    Phariton was sufficiently obscure and "faded out" well enough to be a candidate for the G5 PC and Monarch, and possibly both.

  3. "Marxism" is a scientific, materialist approach to history. It is a tool for understanding human behavior, like Occam's Razor is for general logic. Simply put, it states that ideas are dependent on the society in which they form. A tribe of hunter-gatherers will not come up with the United Nations, because there is no need or prompting for anyone to think up such a thing.

     

    It is also a social system.

     

    For a ton more on this, ask Dad.

  4. There's always Lode Runner and Zork to keep us company.

     

    I hate to think that in twenty years, when I'm thirty-seven, I'll be showing my...nephew...games like Geneforge and...others... and having them dismissed as "old hat". I think I'd...find something else to do.

    Somebody needs to play The Bard's Tale. (the 1986 version)

    Or, most likely, needs to, instead of waiting for his enemies to force him to be creative, take creative license without cause and forces his enemies to be creative as well.
    (This preemptive innovation strategy works out best in G2, BoA, and G4)

    P.S. THIS POST IS NOT SPAM!!!
  6. Pfff. Guess what I got for my father for Christmas. The original Bard's Tale trilogy, Paganitzu, and several others--which, frankly, is enough for three years and well justifies looking for old games. Can't stop the classics, man.
