Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 My dad bought a "Ten for X Games" for our new G4 iMac a while ago. Geneforge one was on it. After a long time, I discovered the extent of the wonderful world of Geneforge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Drakon Sssharxx Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I played Exile three from a macfomat (i think it was a demo on macformat anyway) and was looking for new games so i looked up spiderweb software homepage and looked over the games and found geneforge 2 and played that then played geneforge for history by that time geneforge 3 was relesed and I followed the game series scince.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Dikiyoba learned about Spiderweb Software when Dikiyoba found the demo of Avernum 2 on a MacAddict CD. Dikiyoba eventually tried out and bought the first Geneforge when Dikiyoba finally got bored of A2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chittering Clawbug Potato Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I found the demo of G1 on RealArcade some years ago, and have been playing the games since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I bought them while buying Avernum games for my new Mac. I already had the Exile games on a much older PC that wasn't up to the minimum requirements for Avernum. I didn't start playing them until just before Geneforge 4 came out.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I learned about Spiderweb Software after playing Exile 3. I downloaded and played Nethergate and the Avernum games, and started playing Geneforge not long after G2 came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEah, I had been on Spid's website but never downloaded anything, I was running a '95 with memory almost full and I was ticked off because I came home one day and they sold my computer that had the exiles on it and they didnt even give me the money, I couldve backed up my game and files but NOOO they dont even ask me anything, they just wipe the drive and sell it.

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Exile 1.0 was my first Spiderweb game. I found the site much later, but I've stuck around. —Alorael, who believes Geneforge 1 was the big, exciting thing Spiderweb was working on when the forums first opened. And it was released in the summer of 2002, after he had been a forum member for half a year not counting his first abortive entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got you beat there, too. I was playing it on a Performa 450, first introduced in 1993, a year before the first PowerPC Macintoshes. I've still got it sitting under a cloth in my holiday home; as far as I know, it still works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Archmagus Micael Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I was one of those people sad enough to be waiting for the game when it came over to windows. Considering the last Spidweb game I'd played before it must've been Avernum 3, Geneforge was all nice new and shiny. Nearly gave up on the series after Geneforge 3, but Geneforge 4 got me back in, and GF5 wasn't so bad either . - Archmagus Micael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I tried out G2 on a demo site called wild games. I enjoyed it, and got the rest of the games after. The Great Archon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Like many of the people here, I started off on Real Arcade. Geneforge 1, then 2. I got interested in what else this bizarre company had made, and wandered through the Avernum games. Which is also around the time I signed up for these boards.

Rotghroth Rhapsody RCCCL Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 My introduction to Spiderweb, and by extension, Geneforge, was Exile 1 on a shareware CD I believe I got at Target a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk Toby-Linn Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I discovered Spiderweb Software by finding a demo of Exile 3 on a shareware collection of games called Game Empire Volume 3. Became addicted and bought the game, but didn't discover the other games until about five years later when I finally got internet access. Played through all the Avernum games and now I'm going through the Geneforge ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Omlette Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Ooh...I had that exact same CD, and that's how I discovered Spidweb too! There were a couple of hundred games on there, of which Exile 3 was probably the very best, but between them I don't think I needed to buy a new game for another two years! -E- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Me too (and I still have the CD on my shelf), except I didn't read the manual and made a terrible party and stopped playing after getting slaughtered by goblins. I loved it up until that point though. I also didn't know I didn't have to be adjacent to someone to talk to them, so I never figured out how to talk to Tor Gunston, and thus I thought it was buggy. Then I stopped playing and didn't see Spiderweb Software again until I found BoE, when I was a bit older and a bit more able to figure it out, and I poked around with that for a few years before I found out that the company wasn't out of business (I don't know why I assumed it was out of business, I thought it seemed too old to be a current company I guess) and joined the community in 2001.

Articulate Vlish Shaper Cirikci Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 i found them on wild games and got curius as to what the full things where like and i didn't want to buy it on wild games so i came here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Articulate Vlish ottakoi Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 My sister bought me Avernum V as a present from Amazon/Reflexive not long ago, and then I got addicted to the whole series, and then I made her buy me G1 and G5.

Burgeoning Battle Gamma Ganduv Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Umm, I'm a little rusty on where I started because I started on GF3 in like 2005/04 (I can't remember) pretty sure it was on wild tanget games though, I tried it out and start my way up from G1 to G3, quit for a few years, came back, quit, and here I am now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Tarson Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 My first spiderweb game I played I think was exile 2. I didnt like it much and couldnt look into the rest as I didnt have internet. I dont remeber much about playing it. Years later I tried avernum 3 and enjoyed it enough to buy it, and found out about all the other games. I found both of them on some software disks that I have. I have no idea if either of the disks that gave me exile 2 or avernum 3 are still in the cd book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Lord Iraelithe Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yeah, Exile 2 was actually my LEAST favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenderfoot Thahd Sawtooth Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 A long time ago (2002?) while reviewing a MacAddict CD and the featured games. Since that time I have collected the entire GF series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
