I don't know the game, but that sounds like an intriguing concept. One could create a very interesting game just from this plot idea. It could be used as a "Pearl Contest" challenge, if that contest is repeated. :) -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

more detail...lemmie see......the magic inf that game are books.......the healing potions look like test toobs and it is red.......depending on how much health u need thats how much of the potion goes away...if u only need half the potion then u get to keep the other half......and your inventory is by blocks....a potion takes up a block...other items might take up two blocks or three....u have to move the items around to have the maximum amount of space for other items.

I believe that is Dungeon Siege. The demo ends once you reach the locked tower. -------------------- *Blue screen error* NONEXISTANT WINDOWS ERROR Windows detects no current errors, so Windows has decided to screw around with the files until one occurs.

Dungeon Siege was released in 2002. That's old? —Alorael, who must be playing games that are truly ancient. Well, okay. Angband can legitimately be called ancient, and 3 in Three is getting there. He didn't think Nethergate was quite "old" yet. More "aged" in a good way. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

midget...ellipses... are...not...a... replacement...for... punctuation... :rolleyes: The oldest game (by concept) I have yet played is likely to be Pacman. It was on a PC, however, and a very new actual implementation of the game. The oldest actual game would be either the first version of Exile 1 (including lousy graphics) or ADOM. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

The oldest game I've ever played is the original Pong. The oldest game on a computer I've ever played was Oregon Trail for the Apple IIe. Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |

The oldest I played was Dark Castle. its a lovely and beautiful game. it only works on an old 68k Macintosh. however, the game is really for better and nicer than you would think. Here is a site where you can read about it: Dark Castle information and screenshots (Note that this is a color remake of the game. The old was exactly the same, only in black in white). -------------------- Thralni's almighty Avernum pages: My webpage, containing scenario's and graphics made by me (And maybe someday the homepage of the almighty chicken gods).

quote:No... but if used well, they are okay. Even fun! I use ellipses a lot. You'll all probably be aware of that though... Anyway ( :P ), the oldest game I played was probably ADOM too. I miss that game. I loved it at the time. The oldest (by concept) is maybe pong. The newest is GF3. -------------------- Everybody knows, but nobody understands. Thus endeth this post.

That's an impressive feat! The first Castlevania was released in 1986. —Alorael, who hasn't recently played anything older than 1985. Pong doesn't really count. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

quote:Used in this way, an ellipsis carries a great deal of expression... :P But actually, since an ellipsis is supposed to mark content that has been left out, it is incorrect to use it as a pause in a stream of consciousness.

quote:Sure, Dark Castle was nice but also very difficult. I think I managed to fix one orb or whatever it was you now was supposed to do. The only problem with the game was that it was designed to be used with <i>three hands</i> and that mostly caused trouble. Fortunately, you could customise the controls but there were still too many keys to keep track off. Anyway, the oldest game I have played was "Castle Run" from 1978. Made in BASIC for IBM or Amstrad. Does anybody remember how huge, frail and clumsy those old 5-inch floppy disks were? Old floppies are so difficult to save. I have already lost 1/4 of all my old games for my AmstradPC1512! Fortunately, I got a bunch of back-ups. Hmm... has anybody missed me? Hehehe! -------------------- So, as the great Groxy, I have come back to be served by goblins.

Yes, I remember the truly floppy floppy disk well. The oldest game that I still have in its original form is Loom, which I first played from a floppy disk on an old IBM. The version I have now was on the newer hard floppy, but it's the same code. The same can't be said for Rogue and its derivatives. —Alorael, who was somewhat surprised to find that Loom runs perfectly well in OS 9.2 and decently on OS 10.4, although the music gets progressively more out of sync with itself somehow.

My god you people are old. The first time I played a computer game was around 1995 when my big brother deigned to let me have a try at whatever he was playing. And isn't an ellipse this: ". . ." ? Rather than this: "..." ? [ Wednesday, September 14, 2005 13:39: Message edited by: Not I ] Posts: 1115 | Registered: Sunday, May 15 2005 07:00 |
