    Video Game Thread

    Rollingwave's thread inspired me.

    Did anyone ever play this? It was hard as heck but also very rewarding.

    Deathlord is a 1987 role-playing video game created by Al Escudero and David Wong[disambiguation needed ]. It was published by Electronic Arts for the Apple II and Commodore 64 computer systems. The game set itself apart by its Japanese flavor, immense game world and length of play.
    Deathlord boasts a world of 16 continents, 128 unique monsters, and twenty dungeons, yet fits on only 2 double-density 5¼" floppy disks as it compresses blocks of identical squares on a map.

    One of the game's unique characteristics is that there is only one savegame slot, and the game frequently autosaves, by design, if the party moves to another location, or a party member dies. A party, once killed, needs a new party to resurrect them. This makes for frustratingly difficult gameplay.

    Never heard of it - and I was much into role playing video games in the late 80's.

    Went the Atari/Nintendo route tho.

    most of my early PC games were in Chinese so I'm pretty sure no one outside of taiwan have every played them :P early Nitendo played some though not a lot.

    the first PC game I really really loved was probably Total Annihilation , it's really one of the few "true" RTS games every made. (the Blizzard series and others while does have strategy aspect, is usually far too tactical oriented. IMHO)



    this game have such a hardcore following that some folks even wrote a whole open source engine for it.

    Thanks guys...yeah, I started with an obscure one because of RW's history thread. This game had a lot of Japanese and Chinese influences...

    For a long time my parents never allowed me a PC or Nintendo so I was a moocher.

    TA is definitely a legend, I didn't get my first PC until pretty late in life. I think the first game I played on it was one of the Carmaggedon series. I got it for free and had nothing else to do.
