Betrayal at Krondor

Just to send a note to everybody: there's this RPG game called Betrayal at Krondor that is absolutely a MUST have, and it can be found for free in the net (Sierra made it freeware!!!). It's nothing less than a classic, and is also the game that inspired/was continued by Betrayal in Antara (another classic/perfect rpg game that will be very important for Serpent Power project). Like Antara, Krondor has a HUGE and well written plot/story, is extremely rich in details and life, and offers an actual world for you to explore while at adventuring. You guys HAVE got to play it! <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> Visit this page (a real wonder!) and search for the download link. There is also an unbeliaveable amount of information about the game in that site, since manuals to walkthroughs and detailed descriptions of the game. Here's the link: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hi.is/~eybjorn/krondor/krondor.html">http://www.hi.is/~eybjorn/krondor/krondor.html</a><!-- m --> Here's the download link, in case you don't find it: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://krondor.darkseduction.net/">http://krondor.darkseduction.net/</a><!-- m --> (it's already updated and should run well in Windows 95-98 even though it's a DOS game).

Funny you should mention Betrayal at Krondor, I've been playing it since 1994/95. [color=darkblue:1t1u3pqe][u:1t1u3pqe]I love it![/u:1t1u3pqe][/color:1t1u3pqe] <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> In fact, in the CD version, there is a 5.5 minute interview of Raymond E. Feist, and that really got me hooked on both the game and the books. I later started reading the books when I was about 13 (so far, I've only read the Riftwar Saga - just as good as the Lord of the Rings). Those books were the books that got me interested in the fantasy realms, and Mr. Feist shows superb intereaction between characters. <!-- s:arrow: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_arrow.gif" alt=":arrow:" title="Arrow" /><!-- s:arrow: --> I really got to get back into reading those books, because the most powerful weapon is vocabulary, literally or vocally. Betrayal at Krondor, IMO, was the best game of its series. I never really cared for Antara or Return to Krondor.

Antara is different - sure in many ways behind Krondor but in other ways IMO better. I like the way that you can just travel around in a large world that lives and breathes, not being bound by a story so much as in most RPGs. Antara's got a different feeling than most RPGs and I like it in some ways better than the rest.

i played one of these games... but i dont remember what part. Nice game, but i liked Might and Magic Series more.

Would that be Heroes of Might and Magic, Crusaders of Might and Magic, or just Might and Magic? <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

Well, i like Heroes of Might and Magic a lot, but im refering Might and Magic, the rpg series (was my born in rpg's and Bloodwych)

I have Might and Magic numbers 1 to 4, and 6 - all pretty good, but personally my favourite is number 6. For some reason I was never able to find the other games in that series. O and BTW, don't make fun, but one of my most nostalgic games is I M Meen, by Simon and Schuster. Sure, the graphics kinda suck, and the gameplay is a little repetitive, but I enjoyed being the only one in my house brave enough to play it. <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

I've got a collection with Might and Magic VI and VII plus two older MM series, games, both something Xeen. They are old DOS games (might be 4 and 5 at that). I played a bit of VI but the gameplay is just too alien. I got it mostly to check out how a simple game world in Vavoom could look like (the start village is really cool, with most houses down on the valley floor but some up on the hillsides, it's a very different feeling from any Heretic/Hexen town, including those made by gamers). I can send you the game collection if you want it, it just collects dust here.

Nightwolf

I liked IV and V a lot! And when at last you can travel between both world!! Its great! I liked Swords of Xeen Too, but this i never finished it... maybe someday

RambOrc

Well as I said I'll gladly send the game collection to anyone, first one to give me a postal address will get it.

You are a generous guy, RambOrc! <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D --> I won't ask for the games, though. In fact, I'm here to ask for YOUR address, since I have something I want to send to you, along with the Witchaven games you sent some time ago.
Mon, 15 Dec 2003 13:28:49

RambOrc

I'll give you my address only if you promise NOT to send back Witchaven I & II because I'm running out of real space in our apartment. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> But if you don't need them any more, you could always send them to someone else on the team. Zoltan Orc Riedenhaldenstr. 268A CH-8046 Zurich Switzerland p.s. is the something what I think it is?

p.s. is the something what I think it is?
No... I wish, but no... Anyway, it's just a little thing I wanna send, I don't even know I should bother you, but I'll send it anyway. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> As for witchaven - fine with me. If somoen wants it, send me a note.

LOL I'm surely not going to ask people about a warez copy, I mean first I don't have such stuff and second I could just throw away the CD in that case. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> Going to send it sometime next week.

well, IV and V was hard to find original in that time. (and i didn't have Pc, only Genesis, so i played MMII A LOT) I buy VI original, but i sent it to a friend and never finished it because that (i lost that friend too <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> ) It contains manual and boxes??!! My dear, i love you!!! I dont know what to say... <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->)))

By the way, really nice work with those Mage's hand animation, Nightwolf. Really good work, and I definetly see that being useful in Kmod3! <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

thanks. I really want spells with hands. But not only two or three. I want more!! <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> I was very disappointed with hexen when only were three mage spells... <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> Hehe mage, at last im working with PSP8.

[quote="Nightwolf":3gcdq6ti]It contains manual and boxes??!! It's a compilation with 6 CDs and 2x2 color maps (one each game). Manuals are AFAIK on the CDs (I guess in PDF). There is no cardboard box, that way the company shipped it $20 cheaper. [quote="Nightwolf":3gcdq6ti]My dear, i love you!!! Ugh...
