Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Some really great games in there. Police Quest is cool.
ReplyDeleteDang. I was more into LucasArts but King's Quest and Gabriel Knight had really fun stuff (despite some insanely difficult parts).
ReplyDeleteSome kids had Nintendo, I had Sierra.
ReplyDeleteI want to sit the kids in front of Kings Quest 1 and say, "the arrow keys move you. If you want to do anything, type it," and walk away.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I'm kind of bummed the bundle doesn't have Lords of the Realm. On the plus side, Arcanum - the best steampunk CRPG ever made!
ReplyDeleteI had an Apple before I had a Nintendo, but friends of mine had DOS boxes, so I wound up playing the Quest games first.
ReplyDeleteHero's Quest (Quest for Glory) is my all time favorite game.
ReplyDeleteIs this just for your computer or can it work on an IPhone?
These are all through Steam, so PC, Mac, Linux.
