Hey all you old school gamers,
From posts here and there I have gathered that there are quite a few PC gamers on FR. Seeing as the average age of most FR posters is in the mid 30's to mid 40's, it would make sense that at least some of you "cut your teeth" on old school dungeon crawlers such as Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, etc.
I am here to tell you of a brand new dungeon crawler produced by Almost Human, a finnish studio. It has all the old school feel with modern graphics and was 8.5/10 by IGN and has excellent reviews from other sites as well. I have been enraptured with it the past few days and thought I'd share it with the community.
Oh, they are also releasing extensive modding tools for free to the community! :D
The best part? It's only $14.99.

P.S. If you don;t use/like steam you can download it from their site www.grimrock.net and click "Buy".
I hope this link posts right, but there are a whole bunch of old school games available as “abandonware.” Downloader discretion advised.
Thanks! I think I might download a few of these from the “safe” sites ;)
When (if) I have a bit more free time, I want to down load “Betrayal at Krondor.”

I didn’t have a computer then. (early 90s) I did have pool of radiance on the nes. They were supposed to release SotSB on SNES. I even paid for a pre release and never got it.
LOL!
OMG - those were the first of those games. Maddening at first, but addicting.
weren't they though...
Dang...I’d forgotten about the Pool of Radiance....
Thanks for the heads up! I was hoping this would live up to the hype. I was a huge EotB fan and really glad to see that genre is still around.
No problem! Yup, the genre is “back from the dead” so to speak thanks to this indie gaming studio.
