Shortly after the release of A1, searching the Internet for "shareware" or "mac shareware" or something like that. It must've been around '99 or 2000. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I found out in 1997 when I got the "Galaxy of Games 2" disk of games from a friend. I had such a ... computer that I couldn't really run anything except Exile 3. Now, if Exile 3 wasn't out yet in 1997, then it must have been later. -------------------- What do I put here? -Garrison Posts: 1415 | Registered: Thursday, March 27 2003 08:00 |

A friend of mine, some years older and doubtless only associating with me due to the intense ennui that consumes youth in such environs, introduced me to Exile 1. Or perhaps I introduced him; he knew how to use it a lot better than I, being as how I must have been maybe six or seven at the time, and he was four or so years older. A year or so later, I figured out how to play various RPGs and had a good deal of fun with the entire Exile series (as well as Mordor and its sequel, now an unrecognizably Interplayized product). I got into the community when BoE for Windows was new, and have been a fixture since. -------------------- The biggest, the baddest, and the fattest.

Three years ago and coincidentally, over a free- and shareware-site on ZDNet. A3 just came out, but I registered A2 first. Now I stick to SW, damn. Well, it might be normal to stick on spider webs. At least, if you are a butterfly ^..^ -------------------- ^ö^ vegetarians are sexy. Posts: 1420 | Registered: Wednesday, October 2 2002 07:00 |

I first found out about Spidweb while looking on Download.com for shareware adventure-type games. That was around two and a half years ago. I first tried Avernum 3, followed by the two other Avernum games and Geneforge. I then went into a brief hiatus from Spidweb games, which was broken by the emergence of GF2. After playing through both Geneforge games, I decided to register A3 and Nethergate also, and enjoyed both thoroughly. As soon as BoA for Mac came out, I snatched it up as well. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion.

About a year ago I discovered Realone Arcade and one of the games was Geneforge. I hated it after the first hour, but I just had to keep playing to find out what happened next in the story. Now G1 and G2 are some of my favorite games. Posts: 82 | Registered: Tuesday, March 9 2004 08:00 |

I started playing at the time Exile 2 just came out. No clue when that was. I found the game on one of those 6.23 x 10^23 game CDs. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1614 | Registered: Wednesday, January 23 2002 08:00 |

Eh, Galaxy of Games, Exile 2 (sometimes 1, I couldn't tell the diff at the time). I never played RPG's before, and I didn't know the first thing about magic or anything else. Somehow, I survived the attack at Gantrick and made away with one mage, which I didn't know how to use. I think I went to the farm that had the problem w/the 2 salamanders. Then I really got interested in E1, and the rest of the series. E1 and 2 came on the same GoG disk, and I was eager to download 3 when I found it. I was amazed, as well as w/BoE. -------------------- "Oh, North Wind, why frighten others? In Nature's family all are brothers. Puff and blow and wheeze and hiss; You can't frighten Shingebiss.

I beleive it was shortly after the release of A1. I found E3 (which is now my all-time favorite game) on a CD of games for windows. It was also my first experience with an RPG and I loved E3 so much I replayed it (as several custom parties, as a party of all sliths, all nephils, an Anama party, a mage party, a super-party, and various singletons) until I can visualize the layout of nearly all of the outdoors of valorim and many of the towns and know exactly how to complete almost every quest and side-quest. It kind of bordered on obsession for a while. [ Sunday, May 16, 2004 18:21: Message edited by: Archmage Alex ] -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

Exile I 1.0, on a CD bundled with a Mac magazine. At first I was a poor enough player to just be frustrated by the game. I didn't really get into the Exile series (and register) until after Exile II. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted!

Exile 3 v1.0, on a BoG (Best of Games and not Geneforge) CD I got free with a magazine. It also had Nethergate, and I played the demos to hell and back!

I heard about Exile from an acquaintance who proceeded to tell me to ask Dexter about 'tools' before I even knew what the game was about. Shortly afterwards and entirely unrelatedly, I came across E1 on one of those CDs packed with too many games. And then I was hooked on the first and second strongest addiction of my life. —Alorael, whose most powerful addiction is, of course, skribbane. There's nothing like it, not even Spiderweb games!

I learned about it I think in 96 or 97 perhaps when I played Exile 2 on one of those galaxy of games disks. I don't remember the exact year though. I learned of this website a few years ago. -------------------- "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster... when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes back into you." -Friedrich Nietzsche "There is no dodging the quad laser." -Ignignok Posts: 469 | Registered: Thursday, November 14 2002 08:00 |

My sisters found Avernum on a MacAddict CD. I forget when, but probably before A2 came out.
