What is this post doing on Free Republic.
Someone’s trying to sell game software.

West of House
You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.

I am still playing Ultima-On-line even after almost 15 years the game came on line. It is by far the most complex game ever made.

I remember playing text based games via cassette drive on my tandy trs-80 many, many moons ago.

Also played Wizardry on something at some point in time.

Currently playing The Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition and Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion beta on PC as well as Dark Souls on ps3.

Never too old for video games.

I’ll check this out on Steam, ty for the tip, saw pics of this the other day and thought mmmmmmmmm, but I didn’t pullt he trigger.

Just another add-on for game haters.

A lot can be learned playing online games. I have an MBA and a PHD in aberrant sociological disorders and I got them both from playing Eve online.

OMFG!!

I cut my fangs on AD&D 1st edition. Village of Hommlet. Temple of Elemental Evil. Greyhawk!!

We had new-generation gamers when I deployed to Iraq. I perused the latest DM Guide and Monster Manual. Looked like a bad acid trip.

And yes, I remember fondly Bard’s Tale, and Hillsfar, and Ravenloft.

I hope this link posts right, but there are a whole bunch of old school games available as “abandonware.” Downloader discretion advised.
