You could use any character you wanted, but if you used Goldmoon before you got to the dragon, you had no way to win. Her throwing the crystal staff was the only way to kill the dragon. Nothing told you that, of course.
It was a sort of test, to see if I could play Euro games on an American console. There were conflicting views online. The verdict is yes, but the refresh rates are different on PAL, and NTSC systems, so I believe, if I recall correctly, the Euro games play slower on American systems. Didn't help though.
It reminded me of how we used to play, when I was a kid, and DMs thought it was their job to kill all the characters, except their best friend's.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
Who's the dude on the bottom row, between Tasslehoff and Flint? Riverwind? Gilthanas or something?
ReplyDeleteRiverwind. Also I think that's supposed to be Tanis on the far right, not Flint.
ReplyDeleteNo, Tanis is on the far left. #notallbeards
ReplyDeleteWhich one is Willie Nelson?
ReplyDeletePaul V. you're right. I was seeing Flint's helmet as being big poofy hair so I thought it had to be Tanis, because no way Flint had that much hair.
ReplyDeleteOH GOD WHY AM I THINKING ABOUT THIS

ReplyDeleteHow much allowance did I save up to buy this? Probably the first terrible game I paid money for.
ReplyDeleteDragonlance was serious business.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you guys weren't old-school enough to handle the Dragonlance megadungeon experience. #TougherThanTombofHorrors
ReplyDeleteMan, my uncle had so many CGA games. Sword of Aragon, Leather Goddesses of Phobos ... Three Stooges...
ReplyDeleteDon't hate me, I played the Amiga version.
ReplyDeleteI played it on the NES.
ReplyDeleteI have that game, right now. I paid cash money so I could play it on my Sega MS. It really does suck. It makes Miracle Warriors seem state of the art.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences.

The Master System has no friends.
ReplyDeleteI played the shit out of this back in the day. I also totally forgot about
ReplyDeleteDid you ever get good/beat it?
ReplyDeleteI did beat it. By accident I think. As in, I happened to be playing Goldmoon and attacking meant she threw the staff.
ReplyDeleteThen I tried to beat it with other characters later but couldn't.
