Re: Returning to DM: a series of blog posts you guys might e

Hint oracle?

I get the feeling that I missed something when I played CSB. I think I just thought it was like DM, only you could click on walls to test whether they were solid instead of running into them. Oh, and I had inventory crashes occasionally with my giant collection of chests.

Re: Legend of Grimrock

I really, really, like this game. My sole real dislike is the XP system -- you get more XP for a monster if all four characters have hit it than if not all-four have. And to make this even more exciting, it's not actually all four characters, it's all four character-slots. So rotating around charact...

Re: Playing DM again: Harder than I expected

If you can find IPF images, and don't mind playing from emulated floppies only, then these images files work perfectly with WinUAE, so I'm sure they should work with the Mac version. Unfortunately, I'm not sure of this -- the Mac versions of UAE are in a state of disrepair (the only one that even h...

Re: Playing DM again: Harder than I expected

And yes, I really would prefer the original to things like csbwin. Why? CSBWin is an exact copy. Well, it's an Atari copy, not Amiga one, but meh. RTC or DSB is a different story, these are brand new engines with a slightly different feeling, but CSBWin is simply the old-good thing. Why bother with...

Re: Playing DM again: Harder than I expected

A followup: The premade whdload file I found didn't work for me at all. However, the whdload installer did indeed create an install from the psygnosis file in the dmweb.fr archive. Of course. It did this on top of a version written by people who claimed to have played for two hours and encountered n...

Playing DM again: Harder than I expected

So, long story short: I got an A3000 in 1989 or so, and I got DM the moment I had confirmed the order, even before I actually had the machine. Then I played it. A lot. Well, time has passed. I sent all my Amiga hardware to a guy who does Amiga hardware repair so he can either rescue the machines or ...
