Ahh "the good old days" when slaying monsters was a noble pursuit. Nowadays such speech makes you guilty of various "isms" and triggers calls for sensitivity. What's a monster anyway? Don't they have feelings too? Isn't evil just a difference in perception?
Anonymous: you're correct. That's one way to approach the game. BUT there is a small vocal minority that say it's NOT. And to those people I kindly tell them to go "f*ck off".
back to the topic at hand: I wonder if anyone has the original game, if it's possible to transcribe the dungeon into paper media. Ya know, an actual, physical copy to read and see the dudgeon layout.
“…mostly”
ReplyDeleteThat's my favorite part of the ad.
DeleteBut are the monsters also 'mostly harmless' ?
DeleteI like the 'better graphics' claim. On a TRS-80.

ReplyDeleteThat is one way to approach the game. You of course are free to play the game how you want.
DeleteI am currently playing or DMing in games that take both approaches and enjoying each game.

This man came in here to argue with no-one.
DeleteAlways the Ranger, I completely agree with you.
Delete100% in agreement with you Ranger.

DeleteHonestly never encountered that before
DeleteAnonymous, go to rpg.net if you dare to see how there are those who say their way is the correct way. It's unfortunate, but true.
DeleteIs there a finer example of someone derailing a comment section in all of internetdom?
Delete" What's a monster anyway? Don't they have feelings too? Isn't evil just a difference in perception? "
DeleteI hope the 'Monsters' love their children too.
I like how you can send your original disks plus $5 for the updated version. So different, yet not so long ago (it seems to me).
ReplyDeleteMy brother and I had a lot of fun playing this on our PC Jr. :-) Also, I miss the days when computer games came with lore books!
ReplyDeleteI remember that game being too slow to be playable on our TRS-80.
ReplyDeleteback to the topic at hand: I wonder if anyone has the original game, if it's possible to transcribe the dungeon into paper media. Ya know, an actual, physical copy to read and see the dudgeon layout.
ReplyDeleteIt's available, along with its sequels, on Steam for a very reasonable price.
DeleteThe map is widely available on the internet, just search for Temple of Apshai map!
DeleteWell, I feel kinda stupid. Simply Google that shit and BAM! there it is! Complete with encounters. Going to use the temple some day. May as a one off.
