I think I will, but I give it about two months. I first found Avernum by looking through the downloadable demos on the SpidWeb site. I was led to SpidWeb by a shareware disc with Exile 3 on it. Exile 3. I played it because my brother played it and I wanted to see what about it he liked so much. BoA. Despite its ugly graphics, bad combat system, limited range of scenarios, and bugs, it's still the best SpidWeb game I've registered (although BoE is my next target).

I bought a CD of 1000 games and the Exile demos were on it. Only Exile 3 would install so I played that and liked it. I bought the Exile trilogy and Blades since the other games wouldn't run on my system. When I upgraded I tried the Avernum demos and bought them and Geneforge games. I'm finally getting around to the Geneforge trilogy and might try Nethergate later. I started playing Ultima II on my roommate's computer (Apple II+). It was a group purchase and I liked it until I reached the end. I guess I like Avernum 2 the best, but A4 is a better combat system. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

I got one of those shareware disks back in like 1997-98-ish. I discovered Exile 2 on there in about late 2000, and finally found the website (and the other games) in 2002. I didn't actually play (or register) the Avernum games until about two years ago. -------------------- The Silent Assassin believes that he has broken a dimensional barrier and is now living in an alternate reality.

You can use WinZip (or any other Zip program) to make a zip file from the demos and split it into 1.4MB (floppy-sized) chunks. Then use floppy disks to copy the files to friend's computer and recombine them. Or you could get a USB flash memory key-chain thing that holds 128MB for about 10$.

I discovered Avernum on the website after finding Exile III on a shareware CD. Suffice to say that when I first saw the CD, I never thought it would affect, one way or another, the next five years of my life (as it now has). My favorite game is Avernum 4. No, wait. I'm messing with you. It's Blades of Exile. Regarding Drakey's Novah: It is invented, but "made up" is a misleading term seeing as the vocabularly is chosen in such a way as to give the names in the game a meaning. In a way, it's partly invented and partly reverse-engineered. -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Instead, both versions are put on the CD. If even the save files aren't cross-platform compatible, it would be a bit surprising if the games themselves were. —Alorael, who just noticed that nobody mentioned discovering Avernum by getting hurled through a portal after committing pety crimes.
