I have tried Exile on several separate occasions. Every time, I've given up out of an inability to deal with the gameplay and interface. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger.

I like Exile better, still. I first got Exile, then I tried to play Avernum. After my 4th attempt, I got into Avernum, but I still played Exile a whole lot more. -------------------- And everybody say....Yatta! Posts: 1287 | Registered: Thursday, August 14 2003 07:00 |

I like hunting games. I know it is not on topic, but there are some good hunting games for PC (Mac and Windows) on the market. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. Polaris Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |

First SW game was Geneforge 2 because it was the only Mac role-playing game I could find at the time. I ended up really liking their games. That made me remember, does anyone remember Duck Hunt for Nintendo. Sorry about that, just a childhood memory that sprung up.

I think I may of said before, but the only SpidWeb games I have played are the last two Exile games. And no, Dolphin, I have not played Duck Hunt. Others may of, though. -------------------- I'll put a Spring in your step. Polaris Posts: 2396 | Registered: Saturday, January 29 2005 08:00 |

I found Avernum 2 first via www.downloads.com. I couldn't believe how good it was. I found the site later on, and was subsequently introduced to Avernum 1 and 3 (both have been played, unfinished, and deleted repeatedly for no remembered reason). I loved the first Geneforge (Agent is my favourite class by far), haven't finished the 2nd yet, got a bit tiresome, am about to embark on Geneforge 3. I also like BOA, but the Avernum series are getting a bit tiresome for me. Posts: 69 | Registered: Tuesday, May 28 2002 07:00 |

I first found Geneforge from RealArcade, which is a program you can download that gives you a wide selection of games to puruse. I remembering playing G1 for the first time and being in awe of how much fun I was having. I promptly gobbled it up. Then came G2, and I devoured that one as well. I have tried A1 and BOA, but they haven't caught me really. -------------------- Most Important Questions: Why does one sock go missing? What is the purpose of meaning? What is the purpose of girls?

Geneforge 1. I got it off a MacWorld shareware CD some years ago. I didn't play it for some time, and then went to Spiderweb homepage and found GF2. I downloaded A1, A2 , A3 and BOE demos didn't like 'em, deleted them, redownloaded them again some weeks later and found I liked them (apart from BOE). And then I went back and got BOA demo. -------------------- How many shapers are there? Why is Drypeak controlled by Zakary? Why is Barzahl a Guardian? How does the Geneforge work?

Was it the Duck Hunt that you needed the shotgun thing to play, or was it a game where you moved the analog stick to move the crosshair? -------------------- And everybody say....Yatta! Posts: 1287 | Registered: Thursday, August 14 2003 07:00 |

First game I played was Exile 1 from Galaxy of Games. I couldn't stand the interface. About 2 years later, my brother found Exile 2 on the disk, and I liked that much better. I registered Exile 2, and later registered, Avernum 2, and now BOA. -------------------- "Only fools are quoted" -Annonymus Posts: 24 | Registered: Friday, February 22 2002 08:00 |

E2 was played first, then E1, E3, and BoE. Once I had exhausted all the demos I caved and bought all four playing them in order again. I got the demos on a couple different shareware CD's. -------------------- Forever Always on Past the End tracihedlund@charter.net[/url] TrueSite for Blades - Blades Walkthroughs Pixle Profusion - BoE Graphics Archive Posts: 563 | Registered: Tuesday, July 27 2004 07:00 |

You should try playing the exile series. They are pretty good as well, though take some time getting used to after you've played games like avernum. You also might not like it though, because it's got the same plot as avernum and avernum is at higher quality. But you might like it. -------------------- You can take my Windows XP when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse! Posts: 394 | Registered: Saturday, November 20 2004 08:00 |

I first found out about Spiderwed Software sometime in the late 90's. I was cruisin' for free game demos, and Spiderweb delivered. I decided to try the Avernum demo and was hooked. I did everything in the demo, and prowled the edges of the demo in frustration, cursing that shareware demon, so I got off my ass and registered. My party had levelled up to about lvl20 in the demo alone, so I exploded out of there, and proceeded to kick ass all across the caverns. Unfortunately, since I've been moving around and going to universities since then, Avernum 1 is not only the first Spiderweb game I've played, but also the only one I've played in full. :( I will remedy this one day. -------------------- XXXIII Not hear?

The first Spidweb game I heard about was SubTerra. I was just searching on the internet for boulderdash clones and found it. Posts: 587 | Registered: Tuesday, April 1 2003 08:00 |

So there I was, going through a stack of Shareware games CD's... when I came across... DUN DUN DUNNNNNN... Exile, Escape from the Pit. I sat there trying to play it, and wondering why my party suddenly died if I wandered around too long (starvation) This was in about '97 or '98, so I was little, and had no idea what I was doing. Dad registered it for me a few years later, but it had a spazz and deleted itself. Then I holepunched the CD. Then we ordered all 3 Exile games. The End. -------------------- "I died.

I actually dabbled in my first Spiderweb software game (the first Exile) when I got my first Mac back in 1998. The MacAddict Demo Discs back then usually featured an Exile game to try out. I was surprised by how well the games played as well as the overall length of the demos. Posts: 64 | Registered: Tuesday, April 12 2005 07:00 |

Not sure exactly how many years ago this happened but I'm glad it did. I was home one Saturday, extremely bored when I decided to look for ANYTHING to keep me occupied online. I decided to look for "online games," and after searching through a tremendous amount of boring games found a link to Spiderweb. It looked nice and what-not, so I gave Avernum 1 a try. And guess what? I did not like it. So I tried Avernum 2. And guess what? I did not like it. So I gave up on Avernum and tried Nethergate. And guess what? I loved it. I beat it and some time later I gave Avernum 3 a try. And guess what? I loved it too. Though I was terribly lost as far as past events in the world of Avernum, I could not stop playing. After I beat it I gave the other two a try. While I still like A3 much better, the other two are now much more enjoyable. Other spidweb games followed and I have enjoyed them all, thusfar. -------------------- Part of me wants to say, "Well, it's good enough for me, and it's my damn scenario," but another part of me sort of wants to hold back. I've settled on this compromise. -Kelandon Posts: 135 | Registered: Tuesday, June 22 2004 07:00 |

My first spidweb game was Exile 3, and I stumbled upon it on a free CD-rom having all kinds of wonderfull share- and freeware games. Most of those games are still my favorites. -------------------- Somebody PLEASE turn the heat on. Posts: 617 | Registered: Tuesday, April 13 2004 07:00 |
