I recently reincarnated my old trusty friend from 1987. What´s the first thing to do? Beat CSB obviously...



Gonna take me at least an hour, maybe two. (Amiga mice are kinda hinky)

Cool, good luck - I presume you have no DM party to import so are having to start from scratch with CSB characters? When was the last time you played? I mean, was it recently enough that you can roughly remember the layout of the dungeon, what links to where, and where you need to go in order to do what needs doing? I'm gonna guess that you do, otherwise you wouldn't be predicting a completion time of an hour or two .

DONE!

Took longer than expected. ~3,5 hours - Including numerous piss & cig brakes and refurbishing one Amiga mouse.
Reincarnated Plague whom I renamed "Jaska The Rapist".
Surely, I knew map layout, Tips & tricks beforehand.

Reminded how different it really feels to use real hardware vs. emulation...

Poor Plague. And he was only trying to see what the real world looked like...without his meds.

Correct me if I´m wrong, but isn´t Plague supposed to a female character? Hidden somewhere in the code. IIRC...
Yeash... Nice weekend messing around with an old friend while totally drunk.
Amiga owners, get a modern accelator - It´s worth every penny!

Oh no! Now Plague is also a female??? I spent years cross-dressing Wuuf, not realizing she was a princess (a bearded lady, for sure).

I never completed CSB. Using various guides I managed to cast a couple of the things into the pit but I could never get the 4th one!

You can sneak one of them without having to complete "Part Two" of that class's path. If I remember rightly, it's Dain that you can skip (hooray!) by sneaking on fake pits in the Ros section and getting around the Corbum Pillar to another side. Or I suppose you could go the other way, from Dain to Ros, but pretty sure Dain is a pain in the arse (I certainly find "Part One" of it to be so), so better to do it that way around .

Yes one can sneak a corbum, as said. But not the mentioned one.
I did get the Ku corbum this way, that came handy because I had been enable to enter the upper Ku domain.

Ah okay - Ku is one I normally get legit, because I tend to find Ku (both parts) to be the easiest/most fun. Dragons, yay . Maybe I normally sneak around from Ku, then. I mean, I've only done it once or twice and that would've been, like ten or more years ago, so it's been a while .

Did all the 4 ways, start to finish on my little "Noltalgia" run. (No short-cuts)
