I just got back to this thread and saw your post. I still have the Commodore 128 packed away with a boat load of C-64 software ( Games mostly). Anybody remember " LODE RUNNER" ? I was a bit surprised to find a Commodore site in the UK. I was looking at those things and was kind of impressed. They are not available in the US and when I converted the price from British Pounds to USD, they were starting at about $1900 USD. Kind of pricey, but looked like good gaming PCs. I was a big fan of the "Graphic Text Adventure" games. I guess they were the forerunner of today's RPGs. Can't say as that I miss those 51/4" floppies though. Put one of those things in and start the load process, then go fix a big meal while you're waiting for it to load. Sure brings back a lot of memories. I am 61 with a lot of memories too. coastie65ninheve said:coastie!! you talked to my heart when you mentioned the commodre 64 i was already an old gamer when I got it too lol

I've been playing RPG's for a long time -- I played 1st-edition D&D back in 1978. I've also been playing computer games since before they had graphics -- Adventure and Zork and so on, and when they only had ASCII graphics -- hack (the one BEFORE nethack) and Omega. In some ways, I liked those old games better than most modern games. Because there was no graphics improvement race, game makers focused on GAMEPLAY. As far as I'm concerned, pretty graphics are nice, but they're a frill -- story and gameplay ARE the game.Until I played this game, Might & Magic VI was my favorite RPG. Baldur's Gate had more story and better graphics, and story is usually very important to me, but somehow, Might & Magic VI just got me.Now my favorite RPG is The Witcher; I can't seem to stand to let go of Geralt. Not only do I love the game, but I also have a crush on Geralt. Do you know how embarrassing it is to be fifty years old and have a crush on a COMPUTER GAME CHARACTER? Geeze. Those guys at CD Projekt RED are good!
